Carson steered clear of politics and kept his views to himself because delving into divisive politics would “hurt me as an entertainer, which is what I am.”

Carson would take his shots at politicians like Dan Quayle (who he thanked for being such a good source of jokes in his farewell show), but Carson kept it even-handed and light - he was an entertainer. Today's late-night shows are hosted by committed left-wing ideologues who don't think anything that doesn't agree with them is funny or even allowable.

About the only one I watch anyway is Daniel Tosh. I’m pretty sure he leans pretty left too but at least he takes shots at Hillary and Bernie and the left occasionally. I used to watch Kimmel but he got to sounding like a DNC infomercial.

Whatever Carson’s personal beliefs were, he made fun of whoever the president was, etc.
