— who is forging ahead with a comedic comeback attempt despite showing little evidence of reflecting on his years of sexually harassing female comedians — deserves to be a punchline, according to “Nanette” comedian Hannah Gadsby. “He is a joke now. And I think it’s important to keep making that joke,” the Australian comedian told the Los Angeles Times in an interview Monday, as her new stand-up comedy special “Douglas” tours the U.S. this summer before airing on Netflix next year. “He has not reassessed his position of power, and that is why he was able to abuse it. He still honestly thinks he’s the victim in all of this.”Gadsby’s comedy special “Nanette” made waves last year for its deconstruction of the craft of comedy itself.
