Like Judd Apatow and Jim Carrey, he lost his ability to be funny because of his obsession with leftist politics.
Comedy is hard. It’s a lot harder to be funny than most people realize. Some people have a gift that they can be funny without incredible effort, but that part of their brain is very fragile. Once they start focusing their mind on something else they very quickly lose it.
Its because to be funny, you usually have to let your mind be free to jump to the funny thoughts, and then express those thoughts. Once you start thinking "I can't say that because it'll offend X group!" Then you've put in the mental traps to prevent your mind from going to the thoughts that would be funny.
I just watched the 1st episode of the Twilight Zone reboot and it's about a Comedian who tries to inject politics into his standup bit and noone laughs. It's not until he starts talking about real shit going on in his life that people connect and laugh. I think it just happens as people get older. I'm 32 and I think I've only got like 1-2 friends who stayed "cool" and still have the mindset where politics and the world at large can still be separate from our perspective. It's still US vs The World, so to speak. Everyone else subjugated themselves to the "larger tribe" and the narrative so certain things are "touchy" taken way too seriously.
I'm in my upper 40s and have the same experience. It's so painful. I used to think it was a West Coast thing because I moved out here decades ago, but I'm finding this idiotic attitude has infected a lot of the people from back "home".
