What happened to Comedy Central?
Once upon a time, Comedy Central was nothing but old reruns of Saturday Night Live episodes and Win Ben Stein’s Money.
But now the highly politicized network is looking to destroy President Trump.
You would think that a network with the literal word “comedy” in its title would delve into the entire spectrum of funny.
But now it’s clear that most of their comedy shows have an anti-Trump obsession.
Jon Stewart was the one who shifted the dynamic of Comedy Central when he took over The Daily Show.
This spawned The Colbert Report, and the trend has now spread to other networks like HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah carries on Stewart’s anti-GOP legacy with tasteless biased jokes.
Recently, the so-called comedy network premiered the first season of The President Show, which features a Donald Trump impressionist, Anthony Ataman, who basically is supposed to “translate” President Trump’s “nuances” for us.
It’s an even more bombastic than Alec Baldwin’s impression.
And it was just picked up for a second season.
But now there’s a new spin-off of The Daily Show, which seems closer to the satirizing of conservative news like The Colbert Report, called The Opposition with Jordan Klepper.
Breitbart reports:
“Klepper said the ideas for the show were inspired by the influence conservative media had on Donald Trump’s supporters; many of them, he claims, accused him of being a Hillary Clinton plant and part of the “deep state.”
“I watched this normalization happen,” he added. “They weren’t parroting the sounds of CNN or even midday Fox News. Their information was coming from Infowars and Breitbart and The Blaze.”
In an appearance Wednesday on KTLA 5, Klepper said “the fringe has becoming mainstream. I feel like these alt-media sources are now funneling their way into mainstream media and also funneling their way into the Oval Office.”
“So we decided that was a world we wanted to explore — and kind of do a satirical news show that sits in this world, this world of Breitbart News and InfoWars and The Blaze who is anti-mainstream, anti-the establishment, anti-listening, and anti-helping. We have our own facts and our own truth.”
In a press statement, Comedy Central said “The Opposition with Jordan Klepper will satirize the hyperbolic, conspiracy-laden noise machine that is the alternative-media landscape on both the right and left. The Opposition is the voice of the new America.
It is the America that defines its own reality. It’s the America of paid protestors, Obama’s birth certificate, and the certainty that CNN is fake news.”
Klepper plans to send “foot soldiers … my confederacy of paranoid dunces, who will be born out of this alt-media culture,” to cover news from the field.
“You’re going to get news every day that’s about investigating Donald Trump. Nobody’s talking about how we should be impeaching Hillary Clinton,” he said. “I’ll get back to you on that. … We’ll figure it out.”
And as long as these shows continue to maintain viewership, then every night will slander President Trump.
Maybe Comedy Central should think about changing its name to Anti-Trump Central.
this is what you do when you are to stupid to think of anything else
Funny how the left is against everything he ran on, and now want to run on the same platform. If they were sincere about wanting to improve the country, why wait? Cooperate NOW.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome.
communist central should be taken off the air
Comedy Central, who? Don’t watch the hollyweirdos, so who cares? I’m sure Pres.Trump doesn’t.
It’s only funny to losers who can’t think of anything original.
Comedy Central? I didn’t realize they’re still on the air; I thought they went away YEARS ago. Anyway, who cares?
Apparently the word comedy has been changed. If you can see humor in this trash you have a brain problem.
Ur right,communist democrats are still trying to run everything and everything on tv is democrat except for fox but sometimes they ra dick, too
Wow, such a new and unique type of show. No, wait. Not that, I meant old and common. That’s what I meant.
Notice how they stereotype the right? Why not tell the truth? All most of us want is a smaller government, reduction in spending, and lower debt combined with higher GDP and restore middle class jobs. Is that a bad thing?
hey all it is time for the conservatives all across the usa to start a 100% boycott against all the sponsors of comedy central. For all you people that have cable, you are paying for this program rather you watch it or not. So also cut your visable hit them in the pocket. There are more conservatives than liberals
Do you mean communist central?
Every time that bloated orange fool opens his mouth, the jokes just write themselves. To the powers that be, do not change “Comedy Central” for a few crybabies who never watch the show, maybe they will put on their big boy pants and see Orange 45 for the dufus he is…. a walking joke who just happens to be an idiot with money……
Nana, lick my profile pic.
Is that the best you got?? I now see why you are a fan of orange 45……… Be gone clown!!!!
It must be so hard for you to type while getting erections from trolling…….you know I make you horny.
Why do ignorant repugs equate everything with sex??? Get out of Grandma’s basement. It must be because they are not getting any… Enough said!!!
At least I am not in the Basement humping my Nana ! You probably put a Nancy Pelosi mask over her ass while hitting it! Libtard looser……Go yank off to Hillary’s Mug ! Flippin Flaming DemoTroll….What a Moron thinking anyone who calls ypu an ass is a Repug….. I am more Socialist than you !
Hello, I am Nana, I am the Internet Police and only I can speak, everyone else has to worship me and be in awe because I am always right…..F’nTard!
Au contraire Nana07. It is the millennial snowflakes found in their parents basements. Talk about sex why do you gullible, liberal Demwits keep dwelling on Trump and his 15 year old statement? Who isn’t getting enough?
Just remember this Nana07; every night 62 million Deplorables go to bed every night knowing all is right with the world, Trump is in the WH and Hillary isn’t.
Seeing as this post has absolutely nothing to do with Mrs Clinton, come back when you can stay on topic like the rest of us grown folks….
Grown folks? You gullible, liberal Demwits aren’t grown. You only get upset when the truth comes out.
This is the most idiotic post I’ve ever seen. Snowflakes write the dumbest things.
I am not a viewer of the Comedy Central. I stopped watching Saturday Night Live quite a number of years ago. Now if I want laughs, I just watch the MSM and the DNC excuses about why they haven’t turned over their “hacked” server over to the FBI, when Imam Obama was still in office. to find out what happened.
Now that’s hilarious! A true comedian!
Who would watch this trash anyway! Not me!
They can try but they will go down in flames just as the other liberal Demwit programs have.
Comedy Central my A** —– I haven’t seen anything but sick MFers for the longest time….
A new IRS investigation SCAM is currently being operated (202)4599868 or other numbers… You’ll receive a call from a heavily accented or not – individual claiming allegations against you….. This is done through internet calling – or even mobile numbers….. currently it’s from a call center established in pakistan (dem IT) or india ——- DO NOT USE YOUR REAL NAME – USE AN ALIAS – PLAY with them – THEY READ FROM A TERRIBLE SCRIPT – but when possible – ASK ABOUT YOUR 411 IN THE ALIAS NAME – CONFIRM the scam……The IRs used these people as contractors to process tax returns over the years – besides that 411 and in conjunction with the DC leaks and hacks – they have limited 411….Use an alias – find out what they want – ask if they have your file before them – CONFIRM that this is BOGUS – Have a little fun with them – PLAY AWAY – FEDS CANNOT AND WILL NOT HELP YOU….
Does not mater what they do , I stop watching Comedy Central when the great man Donald Trump started running for president. CC is a one topic station all BS.
I am really sick of these people.
I do not watch any programs that slam President Trump or any programs that support the perversion of the LGBTP community!!
They should stick to jokes and not take sides. By all means joke about politicians in an unbiased way. After all there is no bigger joke than the Democrats. If they don’t balance then they lose viewers (customers) as they are doing bad business and that brings te joke back on themselves.
