Saying an event “bombed” that raised over half a million dollars is weird.‘Comics for Kamala’ Fundraiser Bombs
Maybe they should have gotten some funny people.

It surely will come as no surprise that the entertainment industry by and large is falling into line to support far-Left Kamala Harris’ presidential ambitions. Democrats always exploit the useful idiots in Hollywood and the music biz for their influence over the impressionable, the ignorant, and the star-struck.
Thus, Democrat Congressman and Chinese honey trap enthusiast Eric Swalwell rounded up a ragtag collection of performers mostly from the comedy world into a “Comics for Kamala” fundraiser Monday, held on the claustrophobic online stage of a Zoom meeting. The three-hour fundraiser, hosted by comedian Paul Mecurio (who?), featured such luminaries (sarcasm alert) as Max Greenfield, Lake Bell, Tom Lennon, Trae Crowder, Jay Ellis, Danny Zuker, Maz Jobrani, Al Madrigal, Lisa Ann Walter, David Koechner, Tim Heidecker, Ike Barinholtz, Adam Pally, Jesus Trejo, Ron Livingston, George Wallace, and Brandon Rainwater. I feel confident that I speak for every single American in flyover country when I say I have never heard of any of these people.
The names that were recognizable are almost entirely C- through D-list celebrities like Ed Helms, John Stamos, Julie Bowen, Megan Mullaly, Joel McHale, Kevin Nealon, and Roseanne Barr’s ex-husband Tom Arnold, whom I didn’t even know was still alive. Arguably the most well-known were Rosie O’Donnell, Mark Hamill, Kathy Griffin, Jon Hamm, Ben Stiller, Jason Bateman, and Patton Oswalt, all of whose careers are long past their sell-by date. Bateman, Hamm, Hamill, Stiller and several others are not even comics (at least Stiller admitted it), and the rest of the most well-known names are not now, nor have they ever been, funny.
There was a total of zero established A-listers – where were Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, unhinged Trump hater Jim Carrey, Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart? – and zero new comic stars like John Mulany, Nate Bargatze, or Anthony Jeselnik. This is a testament either to a lack of celebrity interest in getting onboard the Kamala train or a lack of persuasiveness on the part of unlikeable punk Swalwell. Either way, the star power was lackluster, to put it mildly.

The alleged comedians were probably all CPUSA members.
