And also I roasted Trump twice, I was on The Apprentice, so I definitely know how to throw down with this guy…It’s all in good fun. It is so crazy the stuff Trump is doing and saying that you have an hour worth of material with every day this guy is in office. I mean, any comic who says this election hasn’t been the best thing for humor ever is lying. I just love that about him…And I used to say Rickles but I guess that ship has sailed because he’s gone but maybe when I get to heaven–if they allow us in–me and Rickles will go at it up there.Īre there going to be any jokes about your former Apprentice boss ? I got one of my dreams when we did those Howard Stern roasts because he’s my hero as a human and also as just a performer who is always honest and fearless and no holds barred. That’s how you do a good roast, is to actually respect the person. I always say my heroes because when you do a roast you want love in your heart for them for real. Is there anyone you would love to roast that you haven’t had a chance to yet? He’s like a man, he’ll love you one minute and leave you the next. I mean, he loves it to a point like he’ll run out, he’ll be all show-offy and then he’ll run right off.
Who knows? He may do a special appearance. I make fun of him and our relationship and everything…And oh my God, maybe I’ll even bring him. But I do talk a lot about my rescue dog in funnier terms than I am. I make fun of every race, creed, color, sexual orientation no one escapes. What jokes can people expect from this benefit show? You say, “Well, would I treat myself any less than I treat my dog?” Then you start feeling the same way about your friends, you start feeling that way about your family and you start not being neglectful of yourself, too. When you’re responsible for you wouldn’t neglect them. When you’re single, and you choose to be, you sort of can float around and not answer to anybody. We did something where I sold a lot of my jewelry and things for them to go to the charity…It’s almost one of those charities, like with your dog, you can’t say no to it.įirst of all he makes me feel a little responsible for something other than myself. I looked them up and I was like, “Oh my God, it’s a no-kill shelter.” The newsletter alone just details how many dogs’ and cats’ lives they save every week and I said, “If you guys ever need me for anything, I’d be happy to volunteer.” In the last five years, I’ve attended and performed at all their galas, done different benefits like charity events. I never had a pet before…and once I got closer to this dog I heard Howard Stern talking about how Beth O does so much work with the North Shore Animal League. But when I got the dog, Parker, it was sort of the beginning of me opening up to pets and things. I have a tough edge, a tough onstage persona. How did you get involved with North Shore Animal League America? All the proceeds are going to the Long Island-based no-kill shelter, an organization she’s been volunteering with for several years.īefore providing the laughs at the event at The Paramount on June 29, Lampanelli spoke with me about how her dog changed her life, her former Apprentice boss Donald Trump and why she believes comedy shouldn’t have limits. He’s on my lap and he’s cracking me up because I’m like, ‘Dude, I have to clean out your butt and yet I still love you.’ That’s true love right there.”īut that doesn’t mean the comedian will abandon her unfiltered jokes when she comes to Long Island for a little stand-up to benefit the North Shore Animal League America. “It’s weird how just appear to open a person up,” she said. Her adopted tiny pooch Parker, especially, is her weak spot. They call her the “Queen of Mean,” but comedian Lisa Lampanelli‘s heart softens when animals are involved.
