I feel like there’s a decent chunk of comedians who base their platform off progressive politics because that helps distract people from the fact they aren’t really funny.

Jimmy Kimmel is like their patron saint. Not only has he elevated his career beyond his talent level, but he managed to completely avoid getting canceled for all that racist and sexist shit he did on The Man Show. Like even if you can excuse most of it as a product of the time, straight up blackface wasn’t considered politically correct in the 2000s either.
