Repeating the early parts of Walker’s speech, Wood started weaving together the same mumbling and seemingly pointless vampire/werewolf narrative that the Senate hopeful did. “You gotta keep the faith,” the comedian started. “I was watching a movie. You ever watch a movie late at night, think the movie gon’ get better, it don't get no better, you keep watching it anyway?

“I was watching this movie, ‘Fright Night,’ freak night ... It was. a bunch of vampires in the movie. Didn't know this but vampires are pretty cool people aren't they? You all agree on that. I was watching that movie ‘Fright Night’ about the vampires. I didn’t know this. Did you know that a werewolf could kill a vampire? I didn’t know that. I found that out. I was like I want to be a werewolf. I don’t want to be a vampire no more.”

Wood got a couple chuckles here and there, but largely the audience didn’t seem to understand where he was going. And really who could until Wood delivered the punchline?

”And those are the exact words verbatim from Herschel Walker at a f—king campaign event,” the comedian said, earning him screams.

If you’re a Democrat in Georgia, however, you’re more likely to cry at the thought of Walker in the Senate.

Please help us end this man’s access to a national spotlight and elect Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock on Dec. 6. Our state has been embarrassed enough.

Here are all the ways you can help get out the vote in Georgia, many from the comfort of your own living room.

Please donate $10—or $20, or even $100 if you're able—to help Raphael Warnock win a full six-year term!
