VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – Pope Francis, who says he regularly prays “Lord, give me a sense of humour”, will meet comedians from around the world, including U.S. actor Whoopi Goldberg on June 14, the Vatican said on Saturday.
Later on the same day, Francis is due to attend the summit of the heads of State from the seven major democracies (G7) in Apulia.
The Vatican issued a long list of actors who are expected to meet Francis on Friday, including British comedian Stephen Merchant – the co-writer and co-director of the TV comedy series “The Office” – U.S late-night talk show host Conan O’Brien – and Italian comedian Lino Banfi.
