Which side of political spectrum do you think it responsible for this? In the 1950s it was the right that complained about racy material, but it ain’t the 1950s anymore. Comedians have complained for years that they can’t play colleges anymore because they’re so easily offended and have no sense of humor. And obviously conservatism is not the dominant ideology instilled in students on college campuses.

Swnsasy _ it about 'who' is getting offended. It starts with his monologue. "The only show with a Muslim host". Again, 'who' is getting offended.

[@em.m.r]

Alex I’m a little confused by what you said but they didn’t pull the entire show just the one episode where he was being critical of the Crown Prince and it’s not because he’s Muslim. In fact they bring the topic up in another episode but that’s still available, he made a joke about it.
