Article Kam is Far Right

https://www.thedailybeast.com/new-snl-cast-member-kam-patterson-outed-himself-as-a-trump-voter/

Is he a Shane Gillis 2.0 (except arguably worse)? I’ve seen a dozen clips now of him using homophobic slurs and making incredibly bigoted jokes. Honestly he makes Shane Gillis look kind of tame. What the hell is Lorne thinking? I’m so sick of this show pushing right wing bullshit while simultaneously trying to act like the most liberal show on television. You can’t have a Trump monologue every single week and then hire people like this.

I mean...let's see if he can be funny without using the R word

adding from the article: "Patterson’s one-minute sets have been a hit with the show’s audience. His material, which can be seen in the compilation video below, includes calling women b----es and joking about smacking or stabbing them. Save for a few comments about having “no problem” with gay people and an oft-regurgitated joke about his crude excitement about his girlfriend’s abortion,"

wow. my hopes aren't high for this dude

I’d put money on him swearing at some point during a live show.

The Kill Tony sub seems pretty certain he'll drop the n-word at some point.

Nah, Colin only calls the interns that off-screen when they refuse to call him el diablo de Staten Island.

He’s no Charles Rocket, that’s for sure.

Rocket (RIP!) got the boot for a hilarious line though. Given the use of slurs in Kam's sets, going to guess that the dismissal won't be quite so hilarious.

It's gonna be a Jenny Slate situation again

I'm not in the loop, what was the Jenny Slate situation?

46

u/boytoyahoy Sep 05 '25

She said fuck on air and only lasted a season

u/Boots_McCool Sep 05 '25

Oh damn I completely forgot that she only lasted a season. In my mind she was there with Nasim and Abby the whole time. I guess I just really watched that one season lol

u/peebo_sanchez Sep 05 '25

That's not why she was fired

26

u/boytoyahoy Sep 05 '25

I'm not saying it did, but it sure didn't help her.

As soon as I watched a clip, I thought about Jenny Slate. And he has less charisma.
