Video recap: Lizz Winstead at Parkway Theater

Minnesota native Lizz Winstead is a well-seasoned pro when it comes to political satire, having co-created Comedy Central's The Daily Show in the mid-'90s, and more recently hosting her own morning news send-up, Wake Up World, on the New York stage. Last weekend she came home to Minneapolis' Parkway Theater along with longtime sidekick Baron Vaughn to give a report card on Barack Obama's first 100 days as president. Winstead's hourlong set ranged across plenty of political ground, though, including Norm Coleman’s half of a Senate seat and Michele Bachmann’s mind-boggling website. Decider caught up with Winstead briefly before her set on Saturday, and snared video of some of the show as well:
