comedians and talk show hosts were impartial towards politics in general and everybody was fair game to be made fun of in a, generally, lighthearted way?
Remember when doing something like pic related would have killed your image with the general public and have you labeled as a dicksucking hack for the rest of your life by your fellow peers (i.e. Dennis Miller) ?
I mean I know most of you are underage but the time I'm speaking of was only like 10-15 years ago.

Remember Lenny Bruce was arrested for obscenity? I don't because it happened like 20 years before I was born but I've read about it, to George Carlin.
>it was never that way
By all means, tell us all when the last time a sitting President appeared on a talkshow and made "jokes" about how great he was. I won't wait up for your response because I know you can't give me an example.
My nigga
I'm pretty sure Reagan was on Johnny Carson during his presidency.
nope
>butthurt because no funny conservative comedians.
Why are British talk shows so superior?
Norm McDonald
Bob Saget
Adam Carolla
Colin Quinn
Patrice O'Neal
Roseanne
I don't understand what the issue is with having a charismatic president
Can you find nothing else to insult him over? Like, I dunno, constant drone strikes killing hundreds if not thousands of civilians, obamacare's poor implementation, his first 4 years when he was a weak leader constantly being bullied by congress?
Obama is far from the best president, but being pissed off that he's funny and relatively down-to-earth makes you sound like a butthurt conservative
Bush was on Dr Phil in '04.
>10 to 15 years ago
Oh you mean when Clinton was playing saxophone on Arsenio?
>Nope. I'm 35 and it was never that way.
Except for those 20 years where Jay Leno hosted the number one rated talk show.
>Patrice
>conservative
He's pretty unaligned when it comes to politics.
He isn't anything because he's dead you fucking dumbass
The pendulum is going to swing so hard it cleans your clock.
When even lukewarm comedians like Seinfeld complain about SJW madness it shows you the biggest lolcow to milk in society right now isn't the conservatives or the religious, it's the lefty headcases.
shhh! they need this
anyone who isn't an outspoken liberal is considered conservative to balance the sides
That's correct. Reagan appeared on Johnny Carson in 1975, when he was still Governor of California.
Jay Leno was never impartial to politics. He was always a left leaner.
>The pendulum is going to swing so hard it cleans your clock.
this is quite ironic since you know that when that happens, when supreme leader trump is elected, that Sup Forums will swing back to the left don't you?
>shhh! they need this
Jay Leno deliberately tailored his show to be politically neutral.
You can Google this.
Colin Quinn is a democrat.
And? How he tailored the show and how the show ended up are two different things.
Clinton played the sax on Arsenio in 1992 before he was elected President. He was still governor of Arkansas at the time.
>le reddit boogeyman
In his book he says he's a registered democrat but hasn't voted since he was young and later describes himself as a conservative.
Everyone over 30 is right wing.

>everyone thinks im so clever now
you're why every other board looks down on us. you know that right?
>I'm a hack pls kill me
who? obama or Fallon? the right answer is both ofc
>being this triggered that conversvacucks aren't funny
Yeah, it is really politically biased to have the fucking President of the United States of America as a guest.
>he believes in a literal pendulum theory
Yeah, the prospect of the mainstream spending a few years attacking insincere liberals for being insincere in their liberalism is like terrifying m8. I don't know if I'm going to make it, lol.
Fallon had Trump on a couple of months ago and treated him as respectfully as any other presidential candidate.
hitler did nothing wrong
Bush appeared on fucking Deal Or No Deal to try and boost his ratings m8.
Sup Forums was left as hell in the Bush days.
doesn't count
Patrice and Colin are both Democrats.
>can't read a 40 post thread
Get fucked redditor
Nah, it does.
tl;dr OP is likely underageb& hence the pre-emptive accusation, people have short memories and right-wingers way, way overestimate the power of their Dignity of Office special move
It's like a few years ago when Michelle Obama presented some award at the Oscars. All these AM-radio chuckleheads losing their shit over it. Neither they nor anybody else gave a fuck when Laura Bush did the same thing in 2004 or whenever.
