The election of Donald Trump has been a boon to political
satirists.  Saturday Night Live is enjoying its highest
ratings in 20 years, andThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert is now
the most successful late night program on TV.  Joanne, Ed and

and director of “Ask a Slave”, the satirical web series.
