Pete Holmes, a stand-up comedian from New York, found himself in a somewhat unusual and unexpected situation during one of his comedy shows in Massachusetts. It turned out that Malia Obama, former first daughter and daughter of Barack and Michelle Obama, was one of the audience members who inadvertently became a part of the performance.
Holmes couldn’t help but notice what he perceived as an interruption during his act. He recounted the incident during an interview with “Conan,” shedding light on a funny but slightly awkward encounter with Malia Obama and her boyfriend.
Holmes began by describing the circumstances leading to his interaction with Malia and her companion. Little did he know that his audience would include someone as famous as the former First Daughter. He jokingly described the situation: “I was doing stand-up and I was watching the show before I went on, I went last and there were these two hot women, young women, that the whole show was whispering.”
The comedian emphasized that their whispers and giggles were not on par with the typical heckling that comedians might experience. He jokingly characterized it as a “Black Mirror nightmare” given the distraction the two attractive women created when he was trying to perform.
Unaware of the identity of his disruptive audience members, Holmes continued to narrate the events of that evening: “Imagine doing stand-up in a Black Mirror nightmare, with two gorgeous women up front who are the reason everyone the nerd became a comic. row and laughed derogatorily at everyone on stage.”
One of the two women whispering was the daughter of former President Barack Obama, something Holmes didn’t know at the time. Maybe he wouldn’t have approached her as forcefully as he would have if he knew it was Malia, for fear of upsetting the Secret Service agents who were probably on duty.
“After I finish last and tell a joke, I notice everyone whispering and laughing and giggling, and I’m like, ‘What’s going on? I see you over there.’ Holmes declared. “They had a front-row seat. It seemed like they were in the spotlight too. And I’m just like, ‘What’s going on?’ I saw you there. Please surrender.”
Rather than comply with the comedian’s request, Malia and her companions ignored him and continued their private discussion in whispers. Deciding that “good manners” wouldn’t get him very far, he decided to tone down his speech a bit.
“Then I start to feel more like, ‘Shut up.’ Explore your visage. “I’m here to help you,” he said. But you know you’re pushing Petey too far. “Please shut* ** up,” that’s how I feel.
Holmes was aware that he had burned both women alive, but he was not done yet.
Believing that the audience would burst out laughing at his harmless joke, he decided to pull the curtain on the two.
“I say to myself, I don’t care. Take all the fun you want. Holmes said to Conan, ‘I just don’t want to see you, so I’ll cover them with a curtain.'” he expected a lot of laughs. Nothing at all. The whole crowd turns on me.
Only after his performance did Holmes realize that he had just played a joke on Barack Obama’s eldest daughter did he understand why the audience was siding with the women.
“After the show, I found out it was Obama’s daughter. Malia was there! and her hot companion!” he exclaimed. She looked fantastic. terrible crowd for comedy. The story is true.”
