Description
Comedy has gotten more political than ever in the last 10 years, but has politics made comedy worse? Jeff Maurer, comedian and former writer for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, joins the show to discuss political comedy and why it seems to be in decline. What made Jon Stewart's Daily Show special in the early 2000s? Why haven't recent Daily Show clones been able to repeat that success? Is cancel culture a real thing that comedians actually think about? We discuss all this and much more as we try to find out what's going on with political comedy.
