ETA: If you can find it The Watermelon Man with Godfrey Cambridge . Picture Archie Bunker waking up black, made in 1970

Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Yes, comedy has been political from the beginning but it is more and more becoming political hit-pieces that are being labeled "comedy" just so they can get away with it. I generally find I have no interest in any of the contemporary "comedians". My favorites from the past were largely liberal but nowhere near as foul or blatant as Samantha Bee and her ilk. I've rarely found SNL funny, even in the period touted as their prime. Today ... I'd just as soon put in a DVD or Bluray of some classic TV or pull up some anime on Crunchyroll or hell, make a dental appointment rather than watch SNL.

I've never been a big fan of "Doctor Who" but the current instantiation is just horrid. Jodie Whittaker is a fine actress but her portrayal is a huge break in personality. There was some nice continuity as well as distinctions in personality between the last 3 or 4 actors but you can really tell there's a completely different editor at the helm now.

I like when comedians are political, but taking shots at both sides.

I did Mitch Hedberg's donut receipt bit at the local donut shop just last month.

A couple I really enjoy that I haven't seen mentioned are Kyle Kinane and Theo Von.
