Larry Wilmore took aim at TLC’s Duggar family and the “19 Kids and Counting” molestation scandal, which has been dominating entertainment news headlines over the past week.
“So, you mean to tell me the family that goes around saying gay and trans people are pedophiles preying on America’s young people, actually has a pedophile that preyed on America’s young people?” Wilmore said Wednesday as he set up at 11:30 p.m., adding the punchline: “I hate pedophiles — but I love irony.”
News broke last week that Josh Duggar, the eldest son of the expansive reality TV clan, had been accused of sexually molesting five underage girls, some of them his sisters, when he was a teenager.
