“It’s too hot.”
Vice President Harris explained.
“I use a round brush.”
In amazement, Palmer continued to share his questions for Harris, asking, “Now, what kind of magical round brush?”
Palmer speculated that Vice President Harris’ hair would be “pretty cool.” But politicians disagreed.
“No it doesn’t. It takes a Whereas, A boar-hair… but it takes a lot of heat. but it’s too much heat to do and [a curling iron.],
Vice President Harris explained, to which Palmer replied.
“Girl, you got us rocked On the Internet.”
The comedian then remarked that Vice President Harris and Queen Latifah were “getting closer to each other with the silk press, darling.”
