Sarah Silverman as Hitler: Trump Comparisons ‘Bum Me Out’
The New York Daily News recently ran an issue with the headline “Trump Is Hitler,” referencing comedian Louis C.K.’s e-mail to fans noting the similarites between the Republican presidential candidate and the evil dictator. With those unflattering comparisons running wild, Conan invited the Führer – played by Sarah Silverman – on Thursday’s episode for some damage control.
In the clip, Silverman, dressed in full Nazi regalia, hits the stage and receives “more applause than expected.” Hitler explains that he isn’t bothered by Trump’s policies.
“I agree with a lot he says – a lot,” Hitler admits. “Like 90 percent of what he says, I’m like, ‘This guy gets it.’ But I just don’t like the way he says it. It’s crass. What kind of person talks about his penis size on national television?” (“I famously have a micropenis,” he adds. “That’s what makes a tyrant.”)
“All these comparisons to Trump – it bums me out,” he continues. “Sometimes I watch him and I’m like,’ Is that how people see me?'”
