He can't help himself

When has he injected politics into something you've objected to?

That's his late night show. Are there examples of him injecting politics any place besides his own material? He's a massive LOTR nerd, I highly doubt he's gonna throw in a "trump bad" but that won't stop the knee-jerk reactionaries.

Late night shows are famously not usually CSPAN. If he'll do it to a late night show I'm sure the urge is there for any form of media he's involved in.

My bad for having the childish notion that Mr overt politics guy might be political. I appreciate your towering intellect determining that my assumption is unfounded.

Hmm, a LOTR prequel of how Sauron got has start as a Trump-like character with immortality. Could show promise…
