- Comedy
Comedian and Full Frontal host Samantha Bee’s use of an epithet in reference to Ivanka Trump is big news. And now she’s issued an apology. Being a comedian and satirist deeply concerned with language and free speech, MAD magazine Senior Editor Emeritus Joe Raiola has lots to say about it all. “These words,” he says, “have power and meaning. How we use them matters!” Caution: this being a conversation about taboo words, there are taboo words ahead.
