Larry Wilmore on ‘Nice Guy’ Ben Shapiro and Telling Milo Yiannapoulos to ‘Go Fuck’ Himself
When Larry Wilmore welcomed controversial right-wing commentator Ben Shapiro on his podcast last year, his fans revolted. The former host of The Nightly Show wasn’t phased.
“I’m like, whatever everybody, calm down,” Wilmore says on this week’s episode of The Last Laugh podcast.
For Wilmore, Shapiro is a “fire-thrower” in “the same way that people on the left are fire-throwers.” He knew that “a lot of people would disagree with Ben and I thought that was the point to have him on, to have that conversation.”
