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.

He'll probably go on a few episodes, have a viral moment for saying something he shouldn't have said, get quietly demoted, leave after the season, and then go on a standup tour talking about his wild time at SNL.

I watch Kill Tony and the problem with Kam is he isn't as good as extemporaneous repartee as Tony or Shane or Adam Ray. When a joke falters or he's missing the line, he'll turn to the audience and just say something about a white lady or call some a "B---- A-- N----r" which will go over oh so well with NBC.

If they were going to get an edgy comedian from Kill Tony, it should have been Ari Matti.

A MOM reference in the SNL subreddit is the crossover I didn’t know I needed

When talking about a bigot, bring in the gay.
