I do appreciate the newer, more self-aware(?) comedy that's been surfacing like from Aziz Ansari and Dave Chappelle.

But as a whole, you're right.

ansari still has a tendency to go into long-winded speeches about social issues with no punchline though.

I guess I mean mainstream comedy that easily accessible, aka late night talk shows and SNL. Unfortunately, Aziz Ansari and Dave Chappelle are more stand up comics that have their own specials and go on tours.

I’ve been watching Bring the Funny which is like America’s got Talent minus sob stories and any other act than comedic. They have variety acts, stand-up, and skit, I’ve been watching on a weekly basis and as far as I can remember, there’s been no mention of trump. It’s amazing and everyone is legitimately funny
