Trump-Roasting Comic Fires Off Brutal Gags On Fox News — Host Can’t Help Laughing

Trump-roasting comic Matt Friend fired off some brutal gags in a Fox News interview that host Jesse Watters couldn’t keep from laughing at — even as he zinged fellow Fox News hosts using President Donald Trump’s voice.

Friend rose to prominence with a dead-on Trump impression that he rolled out as the entertainment speaker at the 2024 White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

But on an edition of Jesse Watters Primetime this week, Friend took his act to a different audience when he put Watters in stitches by mocking Trump, Bernie Sanders, Karoline Leavitt, and some current and former Fox News hosts:

JESSE WATTERS: But you have a killer Trump impression.

TRUMP VOICE: Jesse let me just begin by saying it is really great to be here on Rupert’s network. Ruperd if you’re listening what a tough cookie that guy is but well Fox is tremendous. We love the ratings, you know some of the networks that down that.

Look at him smiling like a dead dog, honest to God. I’m announcing today we’re going to reopen Alcatraz and we’re gonna put Taylor Swift Bruce Springsteen and Jim Comey in one cell they’re to figure out the seashell problem all on the run just a big problem.

MATT FRIEND: Yeah, I do the Trump I have the Trump Tourette’s because you can say anything you want in his voice and not get canceled.

JESSE WATTERS: Now you do a bill Maher Bill Maher was just in with Donald Trump.

MATT FRIEND: I do right Bill said you know what you know it really pisses me off right. So Donald he’s terrible on the outside but great on the inside right and finally new rule let’s stop hating each other. Let’s laugh.

But if Bill Maher’s thesis is true, Jesse, that Trump is terrible on the outside and great on the That means one thing, that Donald Trump is the reverse Ellen. That.

JESSE WATTERS: Well Ellen left the country so did Rosie O’Donnell.

TRUMP VOICE: Yes, we’re Rosie O’donnell that’s true well, we love Rosie she’s a tough one too.

MATT FRIEND: Yes, yeah, I actually when I do the Trump Tourette’s what happens is because you can say anything you want in his voice.

JESSE WATTERS: Yes.

MATT FRIEND: I was in a plane last week very unhappy with my seat because.

TRUMP VOICE: I was sitting next to a slob honestly.. Like Rosie and Chris Christie had a baby.

MATT FRIEND: I didn’t say it, Trump said it was somehow completely fine.

JESSE WATTERS: Have you seen Gutfeld’s show why don’t you do exclamation point?

MATT FRIEND: I watch comedy shows.

JESSE WATTERS: Oh! Sorry.

MATT FRIEND: Yeah, Gutfeld show.

JESSE WATTERS: Yeah, have you heard of that?

MATT FRIEND: I have, what I was saying Gutfeld has impacted comedy the same way that Trump has impacted the price of eggs but anyway.

TRUMP VOICE: I will say first they were eating the dogs now they’re freezing the eggs Jesse which is a big problem these young women so freezing the eggs which you cannot do that the birth rates ago look at him he’s going to not even going to report it the birth rates are going down they’re freezing the eggs. You cannot freeze the eggs Jesse you can’t do it.

JESSE WATTERS: Has anybody ever punch you in the face.

MATT FRIEND: That’s a great question Jesse that’s more of a question for you.

JESSE WATTERS: They say I have the most possible face in TV. I think you’re close second is all right if people get offended by your stuff …

Do people get upset when you make fun of them.

MATT FRIEND: Well look I think we’re living in a very divided time and I think I love that era of show business that Carson era where America could laugh and my objective in my shows him on the road, I’m touring is to make people laugh. I like putting myself in different situations, I think it’s it’s limited when you only entertain–.

So you want to make want to both sides–.

I do want to make the materials writing itself I would do more Democrat impressions, but there are no Democrats left so that’s the problem. I mean Bernie Sanders was just a Coachella like imagine you’re a 12 year-old just trying to have a good time and they just here we are living in danger. There is an existential threat facing our Democra–.

Bernie always sounds like he’s conducting a tiny Jewish orchestra with his hands all the time I don’t know, I mean Biden, you know Biden was using auto pen, I mean he’s so old, I think it was auto quill.

JESSE WATTERS: What about Walsh? He’s kind of an effeminate guy.

MATT FRIEND: Well, Kamala brought me on so I could code switch and talk to white guys. Because nothing’s cooler than Tim Wals, Jesse. I mean, come on. Me, relatable. I can tell a white guy to change his tire. Tim Wal-, that’s a way to bring the ratings down. Do my Tim Walz impression.

… I can do my impression of Pete Hegseth raiding the liquor cabinet at Fox. Too soon?

JESSE WATTERS: (LAUGHS) Too soon. Much too soon.

I should have ended it after Walz. Thank you so much Matt.
