The Blue Collar Comedy Tour (Larry the Cable Guy, Ron White, Bill Engvall and Jeff Foxworthy) was largely conservative comedy. They just didn’t wear it on their sleeve.
Larry the Cable Guy has since gone full conservative. I even hear him say he bought a Ford truck because they didn’t take any bailout money. The audience cheered, but I don’t know how many of them actually knew it before he said it.
But Bill Maher, jon Stewart, David Letterman (a guy who used to have a TV show), Colbert, etc. DO wear it on their sleeve and they effect the political culture. I do believe we need a “bill maher from the right.”
...true about Blue Collar - but frankly, in his hey day, James Gregory was better than any of them, and definitely conservative. (he’s very old now...or actually he’s aged very poorly....now off his game...but still kicking.)
