Why do people always bitch and moan about "all they do is talk about Trump!"...Yea, that's what they've always done, Monologue about what's topical, and that a lot of the time is the President. Its low hanging, easy to understand jokes. Always has been. Trump as a president just gives so much material on a daily basis. Go back and watch Episodes from the early 2000s and you'll see they covered Bush a whole lot. Go back to Clinton's scandal and see how often they made jokes about him. Its what Late night hosts do. People just got asshurt that they had the nerve to use jokes to call out Trump's terrible leadership and borderline racism. Well 1. No, not every comedian used to make fun of the president. 2. Usually those bits were part of an act, not the entire act. 3. Everyone is doing it and making the same jokes as everyone else. It's old. Colbert has become unbearable because every bit his does the same formulaic anti-Trump shtick for years now. It got stale. I'll bring up George Carlin again, he roasted the shit out of whoever was in office but for a few minutes mixed in with legitimately good material. And as a result a lot of his stuff is pretty timeless (let's not mention 9-11 here <_<) He didn't just go "Trump! LOL!" for 10 minutes every week while a guy pretends to laugh on a piano. The keyword you're missing there is the all. That's the part that drags people down. You gotta be clever and witty like me. Not just point at the president and hope for the best. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:939015300] in Late shows...
