A number of comedians have spoken out against cancel culture in recent years, including Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Burr, David Spade, Kevin Hart, Michael Che, and Ricky Gervais. But there’s one comic who doesn’t think the trend of funnymen and women losing jobs for politically incorrect jokes is a problem — Jay Leno.

It’s exhausting to continuously be fed vegetables with our comedy, even if films like “The Big Sick” and “Trainwreck” are more carrot cake than Brussel sprouts. “The Wrong Missy” is just cake.

The funnyman. 44, stopped by a police station in his former hometown of Phoenix on Monday morning to present a check for $100,000 toward the purchase of rifles for patrol officers, the police department says in a statement. The donation helps fund a program being coordinated by Phoenix Police Chief and Public Safety Manager Jack Harris and Phoenix Law Enforcement Association President Officer Mark Spencer.

Unemployment in Ohio is pretty darn bad. Not Michigan-level bad, or Nevada-level bad, but 11 percent unemployment is still higher than the national average. And some cities are considerably worse: Dayton and Lima are at 12.5 percent, Toledo is at 13.4 percent, Youngstown is at 13.7 percent, and Steubenville, over by the West Virginia border, is at 15.3 percent.

David Spade has donated $100,000 to the Phoenix police to fight Mexican drug cartels. Upon presentation of the check, Joe Dirt was quoted as saying "Is this gay?...Is this gay?" Actor and one-time Phoenix resident David Spade has donated $100,000 to the Phoenix Police Department. The department will use the much needed funds to buy high-powered rifles to defend the city from the growing influence of Mexican drug cartels. Through his publicist, Spade explained that "these guys need to be able to do their jobs, and I am just happy I could help." Spade says he got the idea for...

"I'm from Arizona so I'm always a little aware of things that are going on there," Spade, a Scottsdale native, told The Associated Press on Monday. "It just struck me as such a rough situation just because cops in general get kind of...
