Joe Rogan | There Aren't Many Right Wing Comedians w/Anthony Jeselnik

Yeah, people get too comfortable. You know, it's just it's only their fans. They're preaching to the fan base. Yeah, I got like Bill Maher. Who's not changing anyone's mind. Just like people are people are applauding. They're they're they're going to applaud before they even get there. Yeah, I would never do a comedy club. He doesn't do comedy clubs at all. I'm sure he does not. Yeah, I think you I think you really have to. Yeah, no, I think so, too. Yeah, well, he's in this weird category to write where he's not just doing comedy. He's got to do everything has to be political. Because this whole thing is about political political shit, like his show, his persona, who he is. You know, he donated a million dollars to the Democratic Party. Like he's it's all politics. Oh, all of it. And I can't stand political humor just because it's it's so easy. You know, you're either you're either making everyone mad or you're making everyone really happy. But it doesn't really matter like what the joke is. Yeah. You know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's a. And then if you're doing stuff about like the speaker of the house, you just. God, it's almost like so the Mueller report, it's like, fuck man. Like, no. Yeah. You know, who's like super deep into politics on the right is Nick DiPalo. Like every time I talk to him. Yeah. And what's the talk about the fucking steel dossier? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's talk about all this different. All the shit Obama did. How about when Obama did this? Well, yeah. How do you know? Yeah. How do you even know this? I know the knowledge of it. Like I once got a phone call before the last election. Like, you know, a year ago. And then we want to ask you about like how involved would you say? Are you with politics? And I'm like very actually, I'm pretty passionate right now. And like how informed would you say you are? I'm like, I'm I'm very informed. And they're like, OK. And they start asking me questions. And I did not know what the fuck they were talking about. Like I hadn't heard of any of these things, any of these bills. Like I have no idea. I have no idea what's going on. It's like the difference between a casual sports fan and someone who really understands all the drafts and all the picks from different colleges and with this guy's got potential and this guy needs to work on his defense. Another 40 times. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. The people who know the combine numbers. Yeah. Bench press 225 47 times. Like there's there's people that know that stuff. And it's exhausting because it's so involved. Like you have to if you really want to be paying attention to everything that's going on with Nancy Pelosi, you've got to you've got to be paying attention to that all day long. And most of the people that do that, they're nuts. Like you're it's just it's like sports. It's sports, but in a different way. Like you're just this is the thing that you're wrapped up in. Although it does shape our world. You know. Yeah. As like right wing comics go, though, there's not a lot of like Nick DePaulo is the king, because he's actually really fucking funny. Like he's right wing as like a person and you know, he's conservative. But he's also a great stand up comedian. But did he get more right? Yes. As he got older. Yeah. So he wasn't always. I remember DePaulo. He's one of my favorites. You know, when I would see him on TV as a kid. And I know him a little bit now, but the right thing seemed to come up more and more in the past 10 years. Yeah, he was always an angry guy. But he became like an old angry guy that's really into politics as he got older. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I guess part of it is like it works for him. Like it's people love to hear it. Like there's not a lot of those guys. Like who does the right have to bank on in terms of like comics that they could go see Tim Allen barely. Does he do stand up anymore? I think he does. Like I think he goes up to the laugh factory. Does he? Yeah. OK, so maybe he's one of those guys like, when was the last time you went on stage six months ago? You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? I don't I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. But who else? OK, so you got Tim Allen and Nick DePaulo. There's got to be more. There must be. I mean, Norton kind of leans right a little bit more libertarian. But he doesn't do a lot of politic jokes. He'll talk about it. But who the fuck else? There's like no one. But if you wanted to do like left wing comedians, you could start with Michelle Wolf and work your way up. Oh, yeah. There's there's millions of them. Michelle Wolf wasn't even like left wing. I think the correspondence dinner, everyone's like, this is a star making turn. And I think it almost ruined her. Really? Like, yes, because her show, Netflix was called The Break. Like it was called The Break. It was like, we're going to take a break from all of this and just talk about like other things going on in the world. We don't need to be focused on politics. And after that, after the correspondence dinner, it was like the opening show was like her going after Sarah Huckabee Sanders. And you're like, oh, you got forced into this. You know, you found a niche. Yeah.
