CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings called out the current crop of late night hosts for using their platforms to tell unfunny, one-sided jokes against Republicans. He did, however, point out Bill Maher as someone who “gets it.”
“The rest of these people have become pathetic. I mean, they stopped being comedians and they started becoming political activists. I mean, Jimmy Kimmel out here crying? I mean, it’s pathetic,” Jennings said during a panel discussion on Monday’s “News Night With Abby Phillip.”
He continued: “So my question is, if you’re going to have a late night comedy show, at some point people might expect it to be funny and not just a constant political screed against one party.
