As a long-time viewer and supporter of Fox News, I find it reassuring to know that the network maintains high ethical standards when it comes to their involvement in political events such as the Al Smith Dinner. The fact that they have publicly refuted Donald Trump’s claim about employees or freelancers writing jokes for his speech is a testament to their integrity and commitment to truthfulness.
Contrary to what Donald Trump stated on Fox News this morning, neither an employee nor a freelancer from their network wrote jokes for his speech at the Al Smith Dinner fundraiser held on Thursday night.
During a chat on “Fox & Friends” back on October 18th, Steve Doocy quipped to me, “Your humor is quite something, who’s been penning it?” (As reported by Mediaite). In response, I said, “Well, there’ve been plenty of folks pitching in, plenty of folks indeed. A few from Fox themselves – though I probably shouldn’t say that – have come up with some jokes, but to be honest, I didn’t find any of them particularly amusing.
According to Fox News, their staff neither wrote nor contributed the jokes attributed to Trump, as confirmed by a representative from the network in a statement made to EbMaster.
Trump received some jokes for the event penned by comedian Nick Di Paolo, who occasionally contributes to the Fox News primetime show “Gutfeld!” However, it’s important to note that Di Paolo doesn’t work as an employee or contractor for the cable channel.
During the Al Smith gathering, I took a dig or two at Vice President Kamala Harris in my speech, such as jokingly saying “She’s in Michigan receiving communion from Governor Gretchen Whitmer.” I also had a bit of fun at the expense of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz by remarking, “Unfortunately, Governor Walz couldn’t make it here himself, but don’t worry, he’ll surely say that he was.” (As reported by Mediaite.)
Instead of attending the Al Smith Dinner, Harris’s campaign shared a video clip with those present, which showcased Molly Shannon, a past “Saturday Night Live” actor, reenacting her character, Mary Katherine Gallagher.
Every year in New York City, the Al Smith Dinner takes place – a tradition where U.S. presidential candidates have typically attended. This event serves to collect funds for charitable organizations within the Archdiocese of New York that cater to the Catholic faith.
