When did late night comedians become so political?

I get they always gotta make jokes but for fucks sake people, were they always this bad?

During 9/11 no one on late night TV was politicizing it. What changed?

They've been political since the 2016 presidential race. They were somewhat political before then but Obama is their guy so they turned the other way and never criticized him.

This is a new phenomenon -- they always made fun of politicians, but they weren't always angry partisan polemicists.

It's the worst thing to ever happen to comedy.

all celebs are broken attention whores who have been galvanized into the lefty "look at me" contest

They will stop giving a fuck about politics and support everything the president does the next time a Democrat is elected

the kike Jon Stewart did this

Except we can find examples of this literally hundreds of years old, comedy has always been political

Reminder this cunt and her husband are pro refugee, pro gibs and pro nig but when their children's school was going to be integrated they raised a fuss and prevented it from happening.

It always was political, only now it's more controlled to drive narratives instead of mock everything that's absurd and unjust in politics.

I don't get how Samantha Bee can be on TV, she doesn't deserve a YouTube Channel.

It's just a very painful thing to watch, she seems like she is going to have a breakdown, just yelling random stuff about Trump night after night

It's not funny or entertaining beyond the experience of olympic caliber cringing ...like waiting to see if she explodes or has a heart attack.

Women are not funny, you can barely call them Comedians.

There are a few regressive leftists that are hilarious though, like Louis CK.

Bill Maher's been around even longer.

Political satire has always been there, but it wasn't the core of late night television or comedy clubs.

Yea but they were usually equal opportunity offenders. The left got it about as bad as the right.

Now it is OMNG 2 SKKKOOPS

When people stopped voting dems into power. They're main source of influence is now late night assholes telling bad jokes to stoned losers.

nobody was watching late night

Daily Show started it, it gradually spread to network TV as older comedians/writers retired and gave way to younger ones who were influenced by it.

TV shows like this are just propaganda for simple plebs. This cunt was never funny and I have never watched her show aside from a few cringe worthy clips. Poor wymyns version of John Oliver I guess, another tool of the globalist elite.

Early daily shoah was an equal opportunity offender.

Also great digits fellow based leaf.

Louis CK is getting worse, Bill Burr is just barely ok now as well.

>When did late night comedians become so political?
1999, when Jon Stewart took over The Daily Show.

late night comedies used to be comedies with a dash of daily commentary

comedies, news have all been used to persuade you these days

it's bullshit

What happned with GamesJournoPro during gamergate happened during Obama with news media

I don't know when exactly nightime comedies/comedians became political horseshit because I stopped watching after Letterman

...

There was this guy named Johnny Carson.
There was a President named Nixon.
Golly.

Didn't even really entertain watching his latest special, his older work from 2008 till I would say 2013??? That was quite good.

When they notice the declining views of their show.

But he was an equal opportunity offender

LIEBOWITZ
don't forget to name the kikes

As most have said, American comedy, and Western comedy, has always had a political element.

But over the last few years itseems to have devolved into people who call themselves comedians yelling at the audience about their opinions. And the jokes, if you can call them that, are just fucking lazy. Trump is a very, very easy target but instead of crafting a joke that actually digs at him they just use idiotic ad-hominems. Whatever.

It's been a slow progression. Once upon a Time a media station had to at least pretend to be unbiased, now today's typical retard needs them to tell them what to think.

When they realized that they weren't funny or talented and couldn't draw attention any other way.

Little Johnny can change his name but he can't change what he is.

The problem is that America is not supposed to have a strong national government, therefore, nationally known comedians being political should be seen as obscene. Local happenings like a shooting shouldn't affect national law, Constitutionally speaking.

>When did late night comedians become so political?
When Johnny Carson retired

Social media democratized what people are interested in, politics have the widest reach, and because they can't use memes (new entertainment) in things like tv they just do the equivalent of snarky tweets

What do late night comedians have in common with little boys? They've both had John Podesta's hand up their ass.

What changed?
A guy named John Leibowitz who went to college at William & Mary studied psychology, he changed his name to Stewart and made a show to manipulate people using that psychology.

Jon Stewart (((Liebowitz))) was successful doing this and everyone since has tried to imitate him and have failed. Jon Stewart was never really that funny, his humor consisted of making funny voices and swearing a lot. He has kind of an elfin face so for some reason people find it funny.

Comedians are like actors I guess and they want to be esteemed for being an SJW by the entertainment industry controlled by Jews and commies.

But this is a huge mistake for anyone who is trying to make a career out of making people laugh, because there is nothing funnier than a guy on stage who thinks he's smarter than you because he can bash conservative politicians and sound like a Political Science major. David Letterman is a fucking smart guy, but you wouldn't know it because he didn't make his show about how wise and enlightened David Letterman is because it wouldn't be funny.

Imagine being able to make shitty criticisms and mock anyone you want in politics while being paid to do it
Now take all that and mask in "comedy" and "satire" and be pretty much invincible to criticisms

they work for the cia
