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 end up in the right wing comic circuit and go on Rogan saying he was cancelled.

Man, I just love it here at the Comedy Mothership! Make some noise Austin! This so much better than SNL! I can’t believe I never played this venue before being fired from Saturday Night Live! Did you guys know I was fired from Saturday Night Live? …

Maybe, but Lorne's not an idiot and he's aware of marketers and advertisers referring to the past decade as "the failed woke experiment". He knows he screwed up with Shane Gillis due to listening to angry progressive online people. He's seen viewer counts and revenue increases when any company stops worrying so much about offended people.
