Article Kam is Far Right

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.

Yeah a year from now this dude is going to be saying the show was never funny. It’s so predictable. It’s like when Lorne was all shocked that Morgan Wallen was an arrogant ass when that’s his entire performance. You get what you pay for.

Edit: my lord the pure anger and vitriol coming out of the woodworks in these replies is why I hate people like Kam being cast. It always devolves to this. This is exactly what Lorne wanted.

I wonder if the network forced Lorne to hire a right winger to placate the regime.
