Surprise: Hannah Gadsby Saves the Night
On a night when much of the comedy fell flat, give credit to presenter Hannah Gadsby, who had the audience howling with an extended riff on her fantastic Netflix special, "Nanette." She claimed she got the presenter gig, "Because I don't like men," let the line sink in for a second, then followed it up with "That's a joke, fellas. Hashag 'not all men.' But a lot of them." In a time so ripe for ridicule, it was the rare barb that not only stuck but also stung.
