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”. '
