Al Franken’s comeback is official. Despite being accused by 8 women of groping them, he’s got a corporate entertainment media gig. So does Chelsea Handler, despite promoting Farrakhan.
When you’re a lefty in good standing, sex abuse or antisemitism are minor matters.
“The Daily Show” Tuesday released its hilarious lineup of A-list guest hosts who will take over the show once Trevor Noah departs this week, reports Deadline.
Beginning on that date, Al Franken, Chelsea Handler, D. L. Hughley, Leslie Jones, John Leguizamo, Hasan Minhaj, Kal Penn, Sarah Silverman, Wanda Sykes and Marlon Wayans will host the show a week at a time.
“Hilarious”.
Trevor Noah was a low bar to clear, but the last time Franken was even mildly funny was sitting next to a mirror on Saturday Night Live. At least he’s been doing political comedy full time since. Including in the Senate. I’m not too sure what Marlon Wayans is doing here. Or D.L. Hughley.
But then again what is the Daily Show even doing?
Not even Jon Stewart wants to do his own shtick. After a boom in imitators, most of the ‘ha ha woke’ shows have been canceled leaving John Oliver and the remains of the Daily Show.
Why? I would speculate that the basic shtick is pretty tired after two decades and it’s been copied by so many online personalities, any of whom can sit in front of a blue screen and make bad jokes about the news, that it’s done.
But at least the Daily Show will give a paying job to this guy.
Kemplin, an Army veteran, told CNN in a story published on Thursday that Franken allegedly groped her in December 2003. She said she was stationed in Kuwait, and she met Franken when he toured with the USO. She said that Franken groped her right breast while the two took a photo.
“I remember clenching up and how you just feel yourself flushed,” she told CNN. “And I remember thinking — is he going to move his hand? Was it an accident? Was he going to move his hand? He never moved his hand.”
The promotional appearance for She Said on the Daily Show hosted by Franken is gonna be a little awkward.
It’s a “minor” matter!! Good one!
So Donald Trump’s history of sexual harassment and abuse of women doesn’t deserve comment. Trump has been accused by at least 18 women.
Comments on this?
here’s a comment, schmuck – Trump lives rent free in your empty head, you irrelevant, obsessive useful idiot.
So…. you don’t mind the hypocrisy of attacking a former comedian for allegedly groping women, while at the same time supporting a man accused of multiple rapes who has publicly bragged about groping women.
key word ‘accused’ let me know when you have proof, skippy – till then STFU
nobody beats the rapist sleazebag, bill clinton, and there’s good old demented biden who took showers with his daughter, and never misses an opportunity to touch and sniff young girls, and how’s jeese jerkson’s love child he spawned years ago? I could go on, but I don’t want to mess with your feeble mind.
Good democrats all!
did uncle/daddy forget to hide the adderall in your breakfast corndog, again? duhhh TRUMP durrr TRUMP derpa durrr TRUMP duhhhhhhdurrrrrrrr TRUMP
To DATE, nearly 100% of the accusations leveled at President Trump have been false. & years and counting the Left, “FASCISTIC SOCIALISTS”/AMERICAN MARXISM have attempted to indict, use the jury system, Special Counsels and FakeNEWS to “get him.” Their SUCCESS rate is ZERO. ThAt translates to NOTHING. NOTHING plus NOTHING is NOTHING. BASIC MAT for the college grad.
I think much more than 18 readers will guess correctly that you are a DemoTroll. Beware, your “profession’is about to be replaced with made-in-China BOTS. They are cheaper, less of a liability, and can do the job better than you.
More evidence leftist have no shame, none , zero, Remember that abhorrent hypocrite NY Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned in disgrace when discovered he used prostitutes for years. ? The result? CNN gave him a him a spot on a TV talk show…..
Being a Leftist means never having to say you’re sorry.
There was a great spiritual teacher who would give audiences to seekers, but to women, only in a group, never alone with just one. Too easy for a woman alone with a man to make false accusations and spread rumors.
A wise decision on his part.
Thanks, I greatly value your comments. I always upvote them when I see them 🙂

Did this detestable progressive run his mouth about grabbing wimmin by their p*ssies like the Orange Monster did on at least one occasion?
Did he pat any of them playfully on the rump like one of the male Kennedys?
The unspeakable suffering of these tragic wimmin!
In some cases, their therapists probably helped them to recover their dreadful memories!
There’s a woman in London who tells sympathetic hearers that Boris Johnson once put his hand on her leg at a dinner party.
I have no love for the jihad-apologist Tariq Ramadan, but has anyone noticed that one of his accusers claimed the loathsome best subjected her to sexual assault in no fewer than three quite separate European cities.
The horror! The horror!
