As a small-town resident from North Carolina, Zach Galifianakis expressed concern about the Democratic National Committee’s reliance on celebrity endorsements. He stated, “I do wish the DNC would step back from the celebrities a little bit.

This week’s Democratic National Convention featured appearances by celebrities including Pink, Kerry Washington, Mindy Kaling, and the band formerly known as The Dixie Chicks.
