This was a tough year to be a politician, which meant there was plenty of material for political comics to feast upon. We look back on the funny, the serious and the just-plain-cringeworthy news from the past year with a panel of local comedians.

Guests:

Bob Sarlatte, actor and comedian frequently appearing on "The Late Show with David Letterman" and longtime field announcer for the San Francisco 49ers

Marga Gomez, actress and comedian
