Gingrich: Comedians Are ‘Too Angry To Be Funny’ [VIDEO]

Newt Gingrich identified a major problem with late-night comedians, asserting that they are too angry with President Trump to be funny.

“Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace showed his panel, which included the former Speaker of the House, a clip of Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue about health care and Stephen Colbert’s arguably homophobic comments about Trump.

So ignore those comedians Newt. Its not hard, I've been doing it for years because its been this way for years.

Unimportant crap.

I'm with Newt on this. A lot of liberal comedy is just barely disguised rage, totally unfunny.

The problem with "liberal comedy" is that liberals have no sense of humor, especially when it comes to themselves, and none at all when it comes to people with who they disagree.

The result is not humor, but mockery and verbal abuse, which isn't funny.

There are some funny liberals though. Even Colbert as his O'Reilly character was often funny.

I've noticed one thing about a number of modern comedians who are supposed to be hilarious....they're all foul-mouthed and p.c. This nitwit Louis CK is supposed to be the funniest comedian out there.  I've found him to be just another typical, liberal, foul-mouthed, p.c. lout.
The only comedian who recently I've actually had to wipe tears from my face from laughter  is Norm MacDonald. I actually laughed out loud at some of his bits on the internet.  And none of it (that I remember) featured foul language or p.c. humor.
