Conan O'Brien, Zach Galifianakis claim it's a 'misconception' that the media only targets conservatives
Galifianakis also stated that comedians who podcast with Trump 'are not doing their job'
There may never be a less self-aware conversation than the one recently had between comedians Conan O’Brien and Zach Galifianakis.
It’s no secret that many comedy shows and the entertainment industry at large have one specific demographic they prefer to make fun of: the political right. The sheer number of supposedly “funny” shows based on that preference, from “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” to “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” to “The Daily Show,” or “Saturday Night Live!” and “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” is remarkable.
That’s just a small sample of the many left-wing comics who’ve made politics the core of their shows. And they all clearly have one particular target as the butt of the vast majority of their jokes. That would be the Right, but more specifically that would be President Donald Trump.
Criticizing or joking about Trump has become the objective of entire careers for several ostensible “comedians.”
But if you were to ask Conan O’Brien and Zach Galianakis, they’d have to disagree, both professing that the “media” doesn’t want to just make fun of conservatives.
Seriously.
