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.

Forgot about Vince Vaughn. I was just thinking about comedy but yeah, John Voight is great. I always hoped Brad and Angelina might be closeted good people.

RDJ used to talk about politics, about what he learned in our prisons and justice system. "You can't walk out of prison a liberal" -RDJ

He did something with the RNC (can't remember). And then he decided to start making money and being a super-star in Hollywood. That has requirements.

Don't get me wrong.

Nobody should give a shit what airhead celebs have what political or economic views.

But, Conservatives in these industries at least have some balls and spine, and I respect that.

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!
