John Legend Performs Prince Tribute At DNC, Kenan Thompson Mocks Project 2025

so last night at the DNC tons of names were there of course uh Morgan mentioned this morning Oprah made a surprise uh popup STV wonder who was urging people to vote and remember the time that we're in where we are what we were doing at this very moment um John Legend and shile E performed Amanda Gorman uh delivered an amazing um poem but John Legend got some push back he performed a tribute to Prince let's take a listen what this is Project 2025 the Republican lady all I heard we going let the elevat break that wasn't no damn Prince that was more like Court Jester that there was a lot of pumpkin spice in that performance Amy why you say what when I said John Legend performed the TR de Prince why was that your first response I was just curious I know his I know Tim wall is from Minnesota that was the reason why he did it that's why they did the tribute to uh Prince yes is because Tim Walls is from Minnesota but people were confused why John Legend was picked to do the tribute I mean John Legend is talented but people were like bro his range is not Prince's range so there was yeah John John got a certain like sound a certain uh it's like a certain thing with John Legend that don't say prince in no way shape or form but but who who can reach Prince's level and Prince sound like who who else could there be to do that I don't know no nobody but Miguel would be closer to me nobody nobody is the answer but Miguel I feel like John Legend is the MC light of like Democratic and political stuff and like private cuz like light is like the voice she's always booked you know you going to hear MC like during the uh War show season the BT War show season with John Legend when it comes to uh political events and big private events he's always going to be booked you gonna always hear everyday people so I think they just he he was in there by default honestly but but also is is people from Prince's team still alive right like there's people that could go out there and actually perform that perform that record with him that could still go perform that record right yeah they still need the face though yeah not really uh they want the name for DNC it wouldn't it would be crazy if to say Shel e Marco and so and so they need why would that be crazy Chile is a legend Chile is a legend exactly that wouldn't be crazy at all well speaking of names uh Keenan so they did like a kind of like a spoof on like SNL when uh kamla Harris and Tim walls were first like announced first when KLA Harris was announced they're like yo Maya Rudolph get ready and then when she brought Tim Walls on they were saying Steve Martin um should actually be the person that like recreates 10 walls and basically everybody was excited for what SNL was going to do this this season because K have been giving us the moment it was very smart of them um to bring Keenan Thompson on the stage last night let's take a listen this is Project 2025 the Republican blueprint for a second Trump term it is a real document that you can read for yourself at kamah harris.com project 2025 you ever seen a document that could kill a small animal and democracy at the same time here it is you know how when you download an app and there are hundreds of pages there that you don't read it's just the terms and conditions and you just click agree well these are the terms and conditions of a second Trump presidency you vote for him you vote for all of this now Becky you're married correct I am me and my wife have been together for about eight years oh that's amazing very very cute but I have got some bad news for you on page 584 project 2025 calls for the elimination of protections for lgbtq plus Americans so you know that that's true like there's you know probably 2025 talks about how there's going to be no stud love and they going to ban uh any vibrator any vibrator with more than two or three speeds they Banning does that actually the policy y'all need to read project 2025 studge I'm telling you honestly I think what they were trying to do is just bring more attention to it because a lot of people kind of they know about it but they're not really getting into what project 2025 is and the fact that although Trump is trying to distance himself now people that were formerly working for his campaign are who were a part of the think tank to put this together if they put the vibrator thing in there people probably would pay attention but I don't that's not in there not even I don't I know that that's not in there that's not there what about stud love stud love is not in there no that is charlamagne's like they are they are Banning St love that's what they're getting to but like you know what I mean you know how he's talk you got to read through the lines salute to Keenan though it takes nuts to do that because you know a lot of celebrities don't like to get involved in politics because they want to turn off any of their audience because I'm sure liberals and Republicans both watch SNL liberals and Republicans both support Keenan and people be taking their parties way too seriously so you know it Tes it takes nuts for Keenan to go out there because most people don't want to do that because they don't want to turn off any any audience right right and I don't honestly remember Keenan ever like kind of being voice like a voice on either side I that I can't remember so that was my first time seeing him being directly involved so that was lit to see um up next a Shanti and nelli congratulations to them congrats they welcome their baby
