Remember when Obama was elected, and we thought that would prove to be the end of comedy as we know it?
You might remember this post from the LA Times after just 100 days into the Obama Presidency:
As late-night talk show hosts and other television comics who trade in political humor know, cracking wise about the new president, who marked his 100th day in office last week, is apparently not very funny for most of the people, most of the time. Not surprisingly, to guard against a frosty or uncertain reception, TV’s leading political humorists have largely backed away from their ritual comic hazing of the president, a colorful tradition in the medium, especially in its late-night time slots, since at least the Nixon administration.
My…how things have changed in such a short time:
