Between 30 and 40 students and faculty attended the discussion. Each attendee was given a blank piece of paper and a pencil and asked to write down responses to five works of photography and art that were projected on a screen in the front of the room. The anonymous responses were read aloud, and students and faculty voiced their opinions about the works. The conversation was then steered toward visual humor on campus and in American media, particularly that which can be viewed as racist or sexist. Corresponding examples were projected on the screen.
The hook of Obeidallah's act was his political humor and his outlook on being Arab-American in a post-9/11 world.
