6 Conservative Comedians Who Aren’t Afraid To Mock The Left’s Insanity
To hear the mainstream media tell it, “conservative comedian” is a contradiction in terms because conservatives are incapable of being funny. However, this stance ignores the enormously profitable careers of some right-leaning comedians who appeal to half the country.
Let’s just say there’s a reason “Last Man Standing” was FOX’s second highest rated series and Jon Stewart can’t figure out why no one’s watching his show anymore.
Now even some libs are admitting that conservative comedians have something the woke crowd no longer does: freedom. In a world where making fun of anyone or anything can be deemed “problematic” and get a celebrity canceled, even the biggest names in comedy are struggling to find material that’s, you know, actually funny. Conservatives who don’t play by those woke rules are reaping the benefits.
Here are the most successful living comedians who lean conservative.
Greg Gutfeld
Where Jon Stewart has failed, Gutfeld has flourished. The Fox News commentator describes himself as libertarian and has done wonders for advancing the cause of conservative comedians. The New Republic, wondered if his show “Gutfeld!” was “the worst show on television,” and declared it was “the latest evidence that conservatives have no sense of humor.” But the data doesn’t back their claims.
Even Slate admitted that in 2019, Gutfeld attracted a larger average viewership (1.73 million total viewers) than any other late-night show except for Steven Colbert and Jimmy Fallon.Then by 2021, “Gutfeld!” grew to more than 2 million viewers, besting even the late-night mainstay Colbert.
Gutfeld blends satire with observational comedy and sketches, mocking cancel culture and the absurd fussiness of the modern Leftist. He’s been dubbed the “undisputed king of American late-night television” thanks to his willingness to poke fun at the things conservatives were secretly laughing about anyway.
Tim Allen
Speaking of ratings juggernauts, Tim Allen is one of the industry greats who’s best known for starring in sitcoms regular people can relate to. The 90s classic “Home Improvement” was a national treasure. More recently, the Fox sitcom “Last Man Standing” featured Allen playing Mike Baxter, an unapologetic conservative patriarch who often butted heads with other members in his family, particularly his eldest daughter Kristen and her husband Ryan, over their liberal viewpoints.
At the time of its cancellation, “Last Man Standing” was an indisputable hit with an average of 8.3 million viewers every episode. ABC gave a vague reasoning for canceling the show in 2017 – later picked up by Fox – but the comedian summed it up best when he said, “there is nothing more dangerous, especially in this climate, than a funny, likable conservative character.”
Adam Carolla
Funnyman Adam Carolla makes no apologies for being conservative. The creator of “The Man Show” and “Loveline” co-host explained in a 2012 interview why he switched from Democrat to Republican.
“I got tired of the whining and the name-calling,” Carolla told The Hollywood Reporter. “If you say you want to beef up the border, they say you’re anti-immigrant. If you want people to show I.D. before they vote, then you’re for voter suppression. If you want women to pay for their own contraception, then you’re anti-women. If you’re for traditional marriage, then you hate gay people.”
Though many of Carolla’s views are considered Libertarian, one of the most important stances he takes is being anti-apology. After getting slammed for mocking Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), the comedian explained why he wasn’t going to say sorry.
Besides claiming what he said was plainly the “truth,” Carolla expressed his problem with apologies in general. “Apologizing just leads to more apologizing,” he said. “They want you to apologize because they want dominion over you. And once you apologize, they just keep coming back.”
Rob Schneider
Schneider is a famous actor and comedian who’s had decades of success after working on the sketch comedy show “Saturday Night Live.” Unlike his frequent collaborator Adam Sandler, who is believed to be Republican but won’t confirm it, Schneider recently went on record saying he’d sacrifice his whole career to keep publicizing the truth as he sees it.
“Are you willing to lose it all for what you believe?” Glenn Beck asked during an interview.
Schneider didn’t hesitate, saying, “Absolutely. Because if we don’t have it, then we have nothing.”
“I’m not — I don’t care about my career anymore,” Schneider continued. “I care about my children’s — the country they’re going to live in.”
Jeff Foxworthy & The Blue Collar Comedy Tour
Jeff Foxworthy is the main face of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. He’s best known for one-liners that start with, “You might be a redneck if…” His brand of stand-up is specifically targeted to people living in red states, and he’s made a small fortune making them laugh.
Though he’s a registered Republican and has financially supported several conservative candidates, the comedian says he typically avoids political jokes. “No matter which side you’re on, half of the crowd is going to
