Late-Night Comedians Won’t Stop Bashing Trump, So Jay Leno Gives Them Brutal Reality Check

Back in the past, the comedians would put laughs over politics.
Nowadays, they seem to bash President Donald Trump continuously.
But Jay Leno has something to say about it and doesn’t hold back.
Earlier this week, he did an interview, and he shared an unexpected perspective on all of the Trump-bashing going on between late-night show hosts. Their jokes are depressing and he doesn’t find them funny. The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Leno at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour, where he appeared to support Garage on Tuesday.
According to our source, Mad World News, he commented on how late-night hosts are covering President Donald Trump, if he misses a platform and if he would return to the desk for a streaming show.
“Late-night has always been pretty topical. The only trouble is now everyone has the same topic. It’s all depressing Trump stuff. Now, it’s all anti-women, anti-LGBT, anti-Muslim, anti-Mexican, anti-Salvadoran; it’s such a negative thing.”
“God bless all the late-night hosts, they make it funny, but ultimately, it’s depressing,” he continued. “You don’t really watch late-night TV to get away from reality anymore; now it’s more in your face. You laugh but then you go to bed going, ‘Oh man, the world is really pretty .
Leno is not a Trump supporter. Hes in fact, one of the president’s fiercest critics. But if he thinks that the late-night Trump bashing is depressing and boring, you could say it’s gotten out of hand. Seth Meyers’ opening at the Golden Globes last weekend was no exception and it proves as much.
Someone who was taken a different approach is Roseanne Barr, who not only supports President Donald Trump, but portrays a Trump supporter on television, as well.
“It’s just realistic. I have always … attempted to portray a realistic portrait of the American people and working class people. And, in fact, it was working class people that elected Trump so I felt that was very real and something that needed to be discussed,” she said. “I think it was time for us, as a country, to shake things up and try something different. He says a lot of crazy sh*t but I mean… I’m not a Trump apologist.”
