SNL'S LOVITZ SLAMS OBAMA, TAXES, FAKE 99 PERCENT-ERS

Breitbart TV ^ | April 23, 2012 | Jon Lovitz

[SMGFan]

On the "ABC's of SNL" podcast, Jon Lovitz called Obama a "jackass" for claiming that the rich don't pay enough taxes. "

I wonder what his wife, Morgan Fairchild, thinks of this?

[boop]

Yes. Will Ferrell is a sad exception. He's NOT funny, and he still thinks that Bush jokes are just gold. Plus he's a BIG Obama donor.

Sorry Will, you suck on so many levels.

>> Was there something in the water at SNL in the 90s? Lovitz, Victoria Jackson, Dennis Miller. They’ve all seemed to figure it out. <<

If go you by the SNL cast from 1985-1991, you can add Robert Downey Jr. to the list as well. He's another SNL cast member from that era who apparently describes his politics as conservative now (and like the first 3 on the list, was a liberal at the time)

I agree it is a strange coincidence that SNL from that era produced so many future conservatives. Phil Hartman's dead, but where are Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Kevin Nealon, Joan Cusack, Anthony Michael Hall, Randy Quaid, Terry Sweeney, Nora Dunn, Jan Hooks, A. Whitney Brown, and Don Novello on the political spectrum today? It seems we could reunite the SNL cast c. 1990 and have a Conservative All-Stars SNL special!

(And looking back, I love Lovitz's Dukakis impersonation, though I'm too young to really remember the 1988 election much)

I think that Joan Cusack and A. Whitney Brown are really lefty; don’t know about the other castmembers about whom you were wondering.

Ferrell wasn't on SNL on the same time as Lovitz/Victoria Jackson/Dennis Miller/Robert Downey Jr. There may have been some overlap, but Ferrell's time on the show was the late 90s, '95-'00. I remember watching it when it originally aired and I never found him funny back then, either. Why Lorne Michels gave Ferrell so much screen time and let him mug the camera constantly was beyond me. The Spartan cheerleaders bit was particularly cringe-worthy and they'd beat it to death anyway. SNL also had 4 different Bush impersonators from 1999-2008, and Ferrell's "impersonation" was easily the worst.

To this day, I don't understand what people see in Will Ferrell. The guy has made like 3 good movies and a dozen godawful ones, yet I have friends who think he's a "comedy genius". Amazing that anyone would fork over dough to see this guy after Bewitched and Land of the Lost. Ferell should be apologizing to movie goers for that cr@p, instead he's probably cashing bigger checks and getting paid $20 million to play another idiotic man-child role as I write this.

Actually I thoght A Whitney Brown was conservative, but nonetheless, he was NOT funny either. I could never figure why Dennis Miller always had him as the guest editorialist.
My guess is Kevin Nealon (Catholic) is conservative on some issues, but he’s a PETA nut. Norm McDonald is vehemently pro-life, but may be liberal on other issues.
Other SNL members politics that I know of: Dan Aykroyd-republican. John Belushi-big lib. Chevy Chase-ultra-lefty. Julia Sweeney-atheist, so I’m guessing lib.Julia Dreyfus-lib. Tina Fey “claimed” to be a republican, but I seriously doubt it. Al Franken-guess what. Phil Hartman-strong Catholic, but guess he was a democrat.

[Cheapskate]

That dude was and is funny as hell!

Heard him on miller a few months ago

[boop]

Other comedians (Not necessarily SNL) who’s politics I suspect: Jim Carrey-conservative his spoof of the Act-Up guy on In Living Color was priceless. David Spade- his take down of pompous Hollywood types makes me think he leans rightward. Dana Carvey- also think he has no use for leftists. Chris Farley- staunch Catholic who went to Mass every Sunday; probably apolitical with some conservative leanings. His brother seems conservative.

Lovitz is a creep

Lovitz is a great actor and a nice guy. You don't know what the hell you're talking about.

[dennisw]

Ever see the movie Tightrope? Janine Turner is scintillating in that. I never watched her TV show that takes place in Alaska. These days she looks a bit ridiculous with a big bouffant of peroxided hair

[Aurorales]

Dana Carvey is definitely conservative leaning. I saw him live a few years back here in northern Cal.

Even in this leftist area, he had no problem letting his right leanings show through.

[AllAmericanGirl44]

I’m rather surprised really - saw him last summer at a comedy club and he did EVERY cheap shot on Sarah et al, to the point that I wanted to leave...

I think I laughed 2 times in 90 minutes - was expecting so much more.

Glad he’s speaking out.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

You are the only person I have ever heard say anything nice about him. The general consensus is he one arrogant and rude SOB.

If I am wrong, I apologize. I have yet to hear one person saying “Yeah, Lovitz was in for an interview. What a nice guy!” It is always, “He's a funny guy, but......”

‘But” is never been followed by anything positive.

[jersey117]

He probably just wrote his check out to the IRS and said WTF.

[no dems]

The main thing I see in this: He’s expressing his contempt and disdain for Obama, the dude he voted for. Just think how many other Dems, in America, feel the same way but are afraid to say anything. B. Hussein Obama has lost a lot of his ‘08 supporters, but, only the ballot boxes will tell the whole story on Nov. 6th.
