The Col: define success. There are plenty of right-wing comics making a living with comedy. But who cares? There are so many possible factors (like the fact that the John Stewart show has a policy against scheduling conservatives-with only some exceptions to that). Didn't you read that memo from the shows exec? Guess not.

But again, who cares? In the big picture, it's a meaningless thing (except to perhaps say that those in power and control prefer liberal jokesters because they themselves are libs.)

Pretty much like college campuses. Lots of liberal profs, few conservatives. Why? Colleges love diversity of opinion.

Artful Dodger: "There are plenty of right-wing comics making a living with comedy"

name one

The common reason stated, is that conservatives tend to have issue laughing at themselves, liberals don't have the same issues with self depricating humor

The Col: He'd be completely noticed in the right circles. He's not the only right leaning comedian that makes his/her living telling jokes/stories etc. Just like you have lots of liberals out there making a living as comedians, you have conservatives as well. And for every Jay Leno, there are a few thousand others that didn't make it. Not every lib makes it.

And as we all know, in show business, even if you have leanings to the right, you keep them to yourself or you're shooting yourself in the carreer foot. Letterman bleeds liberalism. Stewart not so much.

Maybe it's because he keeps playing the 'straight' guy.

(V): That must explain why Glen Beck is so successful. A conservative knows when he/she is making an impact by the number of times they are belittled by the leftists. You keep bringing Beck up (you're obsessed with him) and that alone is proof of his impact. And liberal thinkers like you can't stand it.

The Col: If you bought a ticket you'd have your caricature of Beck challenged and you'd have to change your view. Not that you'd agree with him. But your caricature of him would be ruined!

The Col: And they don't have to be well known to YOU to be well known to others. It's the same way in music. If you're well known in your circle, that's good enough. There are plenty of people who likely never heard of Leno or Letterman and clearly Stewart is in that category. And that woud prove???

And this guys routine of skiing is very funny. http://www.kendavis.com/

There are TONS more of guys like this making a living out of making people laugh.

That you've never heard of them (likely) is meaningless to my point. You arrogantly challenged me to name one right wing comedian and now you have three names. But that likely won't be good enough.

However, as most clear thinking people know, if these guys were liberals, guys like you would be all over them with laughter and recommendations.

One other thing, many (if not most) left wing standup contains tons of filthy words. My examples are of guys that don't use that profanity. That's because they are REALLY funny and don't need a filthy mouth to make an audience laugh. Just like Old Red.
