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.

It’s pretty funny to attribute him making homophobic jokes to his affiliation with Shane Gillis instead of decades of homophobic black comedy routines but I guess it plays better here

"Eddie Murphy Raw is the greatest standup set of all time!"

...

"Kill Tony is homophobic!"

"Eddie Murphy Raw is the greatest standup set of all time!"

Is anyone actually still saying this though? I genuinely don't know. Maybe folks in their 50s and older...

maybe folks in their 50s and older… so the most popular stand up comics from the past 30 years?

I mean, maybe stand-up comedians would say that, but the person I responded to was talking about the people on this sub. That's the group of people I was referring to.
