During a comedy performance in Massachusetts, comedian Pete Holmes found two young women in the audience, one of whom was Malia Obama, “disrespecting” him by whispering and giggling throughout the show.
On the “Conan” show, Holmes shared, “It’s worse than heckling. What a Black Mirror nightmare to be doing standup, and there are two attractive girls… in the front row whispering and laughing at people on the stage, but in a bad way.
” Without realizing one was the former President’s daughter, Holmes confronted them saying, “What’s going on? I can see you. Please stop.”
When they persisted, he firmly told them to “shut the f*** up.” As a final move, he covered them with a curtain expecting laughter, but was met with silence. Only later did he discover one of the women was Malia Obama. He joked, “She looked great. Terrible comedy audience. That’s a true story.”
