• 8:51Tim questions whether haters could even handle performing at the White House Correspondents Dinner without forgetting jokes or tripping on stage.
• 9:18Tim expresses genuine awe at people like Michelle Wolf who succeed at a level he hasn't reached, refusing to diminish her accomplishments with excuses.
• 9:56Anyone sitting in a bar waiting to heckle someone doing karaoke should get off social media and stop criticizing someone who performed in front of the world.
• 10:20Tim was in the Catskills at Villaroma bombing while Michelle Wolf performed at the White House Correspondents' Dinner—but he's earned both venues in their own way.

• 11:44Something about the audience at Villaroma was clearly wrong—whether environmental or otherwise, Tim couldn't put his finger on it, but something was awry.
