“The Daily Show” host and senior correspondent Desi Lydic had nothing but praise for Hillary Clinton’s speech at the opening night of the DNC. But, as is always the case with Lydic, that praise came with a bit of a barb.

“I thought Hillary’s whole speech was very moving. In fact, she killed it,” Lydic said on Tuesday night. “Although, it will be ruled a suicide.”

As she maintained a straight face and adjusted her tie, the audience rippled with laughter as more and more people caught onto the joke. They then erupted into applause and cheers for the Comedy Central host.
