Why can't rightwing comics break into US late-night TV? | Global | The Guardian
'In turn, anyone who’s turned on a television in the past 15 years might infer that conservatives, or conservative comics, just aren’t funny. '
'Once you start saying ‘conservative comedy’, people don’t believe you. '
'Rightwing comics, the genre’s personae non gratae, are looking for answers.“Close your eyes and picture a conservative,” Michael Loftus, a rightwing comic, proposes. “It’s some big, fat, balding white guy smoking a cigar and counting his money. '
'Meanwhile, rightwing comics, or even those of a centrist breed, have been left with the scraps of talk radio, a medium less conducive to comedy than it is towards the inflammatory rhetoric of hosts such as Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones. '
'In order to laugh about politics, people often have to reach the point where they’re in the fetal position.”Loftus, who praises rightwing comics like Gutfeld and Dennis Miller, thinks a wave of conservative satire is “bubbling under the surface”. '

I recommend Preacher: Here's the Season 2 trailer... Season one was fantastic beyond measure and it built slowly into a fantastic climax, but I couldn't find a trailer to do it justice.
The Boondocks is good too... featuring Uncle Ruckus.
Both of those shows are based on comics.
