NewsBusters Podcast: Late-Night Comics Shy Away from Mocking Kamala #Political
Does anyone remember the good old days when Johnny Carson gently picked on both parties? It's nothing like that today.
Our latest NewsBusters study of all the jokes on late-night "comedy" shows this fall found that 98 percent of the jokes about presidential candidates were about Donald Trump, and only 2 percent about Kamala Harris.
The jokes were not gentle, like Trump The Fascist material. Or Jimmy Kimmel's wife (and head writer) Molly McNearney, telling him to “shut up and go away. Go to Mar-a-Lago, spend all day, every day, cheating at golf and masturbating to Newsmax, and let a competent woman take over.” Molly never got over Hillary losing.
Our late-night watcher Alex Christy explains just how this remarkable tilt by the "comedians" erupts night after night.
Kamala is mostly off-limits to joke about. There were only 35 to Trump's 1,428. Some Kamala jokes were about how they receive too many texts asking for campaign donations. (Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert both hosted fundraisers for Joe Biden before he was forced out and Kamala was installed.)
The great aversion to mocking Harris sounds like they agree with Howard Stern, who told Harris during his softball interview with her that he doesn't like any Saturday Night Live skits mocking her: “I hate it. I don’t want you being made fun of. There’s too much at stake. I believe the entire future of this country right now… it’s literally on the line.” Any joke about Harris could....be the end of democracy?
Jokes about Harris trying to go from the most liberal member of the Senate to pretending to be a centrist, her word salads, or the scandal over her plagiarizing whole passages in her 2009 book on crime were completely nonexistent.
Over the same time span, the comedians also welcomed 44 liberal celebrity, journalist, and political guests compared to zero conservatives. They know who there audience is...and who they want to promote.
