Last week at Columbia University, the school's Asian American Alliance held a fundraising event called "CultureSHOCK:Reclaim" and invited comedian and SNL alum Nimesh Patel to perform. Halfway through his performance, student organizers walked on stage, took his microphone and told him to wrap it up.

The long-running animated comedy series 'The Simpsons' is preparing to drop the character Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, the Indian-American owner of the 'Kwik-E-Mart' due to political correctness. This became an issue when comedian Hari Kondabolu made a documentary film called "The Problem With Apu" which was released last year.

Anti-Trump “Comedian” Michelle Wolf’s Netflix Show Cancelled

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on August 18, 2018 21 Comments

Only a few months ago, "comedian" Michelle Wolf gave a cringe-worthy performance at the annual White House Correspondents' dinner. During that disastrous bit, Wolf crossed several lines of decency, particularly in her personal attacks on White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. So onerous were her remarks that even leftists commended Sanders for her dignified behavior during Wolf's onslaught. That was in April, news broke yesterday that Netflix has cancelled Wolf's show after only ten episodes. Apparently, many of those associated with the show found out about it on Twitter.

Hilarious Satirical Interview of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Triggers Liberals

Posted by Mike LaChance on July 25, 2018 52 Comments

Who says conservatives can't do comedy? Allie Beth Stuckey of CRTV took the footage of the recent Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez interview on Firing Line and spliced in her own questions. She also manipulated the responses from Cortez to hilarious results.

ABC Announces Plan for Pointless Roseanne Without Roseanne Spinoff

Posted by Mike LaChance on June 22, 2018 26 Comments

I recently wrote about the dumb idea ABC executives had to reintroduce the rebooted Roseanne show without Roseanne Barr. They acted so swiftly after her stupid tweet that they didn't consider the fact that they were throwing away a hit show.

My Column About a Conservative ‘Saturday Night Live’ Provoked Quite a Reaction

Posted by Mike LaChance on June 09, 2018 43 Comments

As someone who has worked in professional theater, I am bothered by the nearly monolithic liberal views presented by the entertainment industry. I also find it troubling that Saturday Night Live has become more of a political weapon for the left than a comedy show.

So Dumb: ABC Considers Bringing Back Roseanne Without Roseanne

Posted by Mike LaChance on June 07, 2018 47 Comments

ABC seems to be realizing that they may have acted too quickly in cancelling the rebooted Roseanne series after the star published an indefensible tweet, despite her apology. The network was praised for acting swiftly but now the cost of the decision is dawning on them.

Roseanne revival remains strong in second week

Posted by Leslie Eastman on April 07, 2018 11 Comments

Last week, I noted the epic ratings that the comedy series Roseanne received after its revival with the lead actress and her character both being supporters of President Trump. Everyone agreed that the following week's viewership would be key to determining the true success of the program. It seems that the second week was strong.

No, Jimmy Kimmel, Trump Did Not Make It Easier For the Mentally Ill To Buy Guns

Posted by Mike LaChance on February 17, 2018 27 Comments

Remember when late night hosts did comedy? Jimmy Kimmel doesn't. He has made it his mission to use his platform to bash Trump and Republicans whenever the opportunity presents itself. The shooting in Parkland, Florida was horrific, no one disputes that. No one expects Kimmel to make jokes about it either.

Bill Murray Rejects Identity Politics: ‘What if I spoke to everyone?’

Posted by Mike LaChance on February 13, 2018 22 Comments

During a recent interview on CNBC, actor and comedian Bill Murray proved that he understands the harm done by identity politics. It began with questions about the #MeToo movement and Hollywood, but quickly veered into political correctness, comedy and politics.

New Star Trek Series Equates Klingons to Trump Supporters

Posted by Leslie Eastman on September 09, 2017 51 Comments

When will Hollywood ever learn that Americans want its elitist politics out of its entertainment? Just about now, actress Jennifer Lawrence is probably regretting her assertions that the recent spate of hurricanes hitting our country is the result of our nation electing President Donald Trump.

“Everything he says now is news. He’s the President Elect.”

Posted by Mike LaChance on December 10, 2016 2 Comments

I'm a big fan of Special Report with Bret Baier on FOX News. Baier is one of the best straight news guys on the network, if not on all of television and he's very good at keeping himself out of the story. This week Baier was on Late Night with Seth Meyers and it was fascinating to see him on the other side of an interview. He spent most of the time talking about news coverage of the election and Trump, naturally. Mediaite covered the segment:

Fox’s Bret Baier Tells Seth Meyers It’s a ‘Challenge’ When Trump Takes the Media ‘On a Ride’ Baier did a pretty good Trump impersonation when describing the times the then-candidate would confront him about the content of his show.
