Video surfaces of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' star roasting Donald Trump in 2004
Curb Your Enthusiasm star Susie Essman stopped by the clubhouse on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen Sunday night to promote the upcoming season of Curb. While Essman was there, Cohen dove into “The Vault” and found an old video of the Curb star roasting Donald Trump back in 2004.
In the video, Essman is standing behind a podium at a luncheon with Trump sitting next to her. Essman looked at Trump and said, “We met once, but you won’t remember, because you weren’t trying to sleep with me.” The New York comedian then added, “And, you know, that’s ’cause I’m not your type — it’s okay. Because, you know, I’m smart, my tits are real, and I speak English.”
Trump seemed to be a good sport, but this was before Twitter, so it’s hard to know what he really thought. Cohen asked Essman whether Trump was laughing at her jokes. “He was gracious, which was surprising,” she said. “But then I realized it is all about him. He was the center of attention.”
But Essman couldn’t curb her enthusiasm over the roast joke she liked the most. She interrupted Cohen and asked, “Can I just say my favorite line from that roast?” The Curb star continued, “It was a luncheon, and I started off by saying, ‘Donald, did you enjoy your meal? I hear your hair ordered the salmon.’”
Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen airs Sundays to Thursdays at 11 p.m. on Bravo.
