Are spade and Sandler also outcasts? I know Macdonald is.

No, because they remain silent. They don't talk about it. Spade always dodges the question and says "I don't know I'm not smart enough".

Adam Carolla is right, IMO, that's how you spot the Conservatives. If Spade had "mainstream" leftarded politics he wouldn't have any qualms about discussing it.

Gotcha.

Which ones are the outcasts you refer to that we know are conservative?

Sandler and Norm both got fired for not being funny, even though they were two of the funniest guys the show has ever had. Only difference is that Norm gives less of a F' than anyone else on Earth.

That whole crew was probably Conservative. Lorne Michaels didn't like any of them, and wanted all of them off the show, including Farley who was another Conservative (he did a great tribute/impression to Newt Gingrich at one point).

GE Smith, the SNL band leader is a massive Trump supporter. Spade is closeted but he openly trashed Obama and talked a little about his politics on Oreilly Factor. Robert Downey Jr is technically another for the list, SNL for one season, said prison enlightened him and turned him off liberal politics. Sandler is a massive Rudy fan, donated to his campaign. Jon Lovits trashed Obama and said Dems left him behind. Victoria Jackson was a big TEA Party supporter.

Would love to see Roseanne bring back Tough Crowd with some of these excommunicated Conservative comedians. There are tons that she could work with.

Thanks for all the info!

You’re idea is fantastic - these people have enough money and talent to band together and create there own show hosted on an internet platform and bypassing all of hollywood and cable television! I would pay for it if they did!

It's not that they're afraid of losing their careers. They just don't have any delusions of being political leaders.

Spade would lose his Comedy Central show immediately. IMO.

Sandler is Jewish, so he has some built in protection there, but only a little bit. They can’t go real hard on the 🧢, it draws the attention of the rest.
