Jon Stewart, Donald Trump, and How Comedy Changed Politics
Jesse David Fox, senior editor at Vulture and author of the forthcoming "Comedy Book," joins Offline to break down how the internet changed comedy and how comedy changed politics. Jesse and Jon trace how the erosion of broadcast journalism under Reagan created a trust vacuum in America that comedians inadvertently filled. Jesse explains why this trust is misplaced, and the implications for entertainment, political correctness, and authoritarian leaders like Donald Trump. Then the two discuss how the internet has made us pickier about humor, why Elon needed to buy Twitter to feel funny, and why a comic's success is no longer measured in laughs.
