L. Hugeley can\u2019t. I can go down the list. The only person that can say what they want to say on stage is Dave Chappelle because he\u2019s not sponsored-driven. He\u2019s subscription.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harvey went on to say that his career as a standup is seriously hampered by the Hollywood left today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I had tried to continue as a stand-up, there\u2019s no way I could maintain it because political correctness has killed comedy, has killed it,\u201d he added. \u201cEvery joke now, it hurts somebody\u2019s feelings. What people don\u2019t understand about comedians is that a joke has to be about something. It has to be about somebody. We can\u2019t write jokes about puppies all the time. The joke can\u2019t be about bushes all the time. Some of these jokes have to be about people \u2014 because that\u2019s the most interesting topic. So if I come back, I have to wait until I\u2019m done [with my TV career]. And I\u2019m not done. I\u2019d have to call it This Is It or something like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<div id=\"attachment_19451498\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-163845980-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19451498\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-163845980-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2649\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>(Maury Phillips\/Getty Images for BET)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>However, standup is on hold, Harvey noted, after his wife informed him that \u201cGod was about to do something \u2014 I had no idea what he\u2019s going to do \u2014 he was going to give me this [new show], and it turned out to be the best thing that happened to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harvey\u2019s latest show sets him up as a judge presiding over a small claims court, in the vein of ground breakers such as Judge Joseph Wapner and Judge Judy Sheindlin.<\/p>\n<p>Small claims cases suit Harvey just fine. Violence and criminal cases just aren\u2019t his speed, he noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery law is not a correct law. We have a law in this country that everybody has the right to bear arms. But everybody shouldn\u2019t bear arms. Everybody shouldn\u2019t have a gun. That\u2019s clear to me. Every stand your ground [law]\u2014 everybody shouldn\u2019t be told to stand their ground.
