Boring Quote by Jon Lovett

“A boring speech can be just a boring speech. But…” quote by Jon Lovett — Download Open image

“A boring speech can be just a boring speech. But a speech with a joke that falls flat is awful. I hate it. That's why I think it's easier to hate a comedy. If a drama doesn't land, it's boring; if a joke doesn't land - you hate that.”
