"Before the debates, during the '16 election, I kept thinking, ‘Trump has such thin skin. If Hillary just had, like, a comedy shiv in her hand, just to slip it under that thin skin, he will implode,'" he stated on a recent episode of Schumer's podcast.

To that, the "Trainwreck" star responded that she remembered Moore making such a request. It was also revealed that he had additionally quietly approached Chris Rock and Bill Maher to also lend their talents to the efforts.

"I asked all you guys to form a Justice League of comedy. We would write jokes, we would write things for her to say during the debate that would just make him melt,” he then added.

However, the plans were halted when the idea was brought to Clinton's campaign, even though the four of them had offered to take on the job privately and without credit.

Aside from the recent revelation about the 2016 appearances, Clinton has been a topic of conversation of months thanks to the recent release of her Hulu docu-series, "Hillary," as well. The former FLOTUS also opted to attend the 2020 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, on Jan. 26 instead of viewing President Donald Trump's impeachment trial.
