Stand-up stars may try to appeal to the widest audience, meaning they\u2019ll dial it back on the partisan jokes. However, plenty of comedians have become activists, especially following the 2016 election.<\/p>\n<p>Many comedians claim to have no explicit bias, saying they don\u2019t belong to either party while technically espousing views that are way more liberal than conservative. Ahead, these are the most outspoken leftist comedians who currently think they\u2019re hilarious.<\/p>\n<p>Jon Stewart<\/p>\n<p>Back in the late 90s, Stewart took over hosting Comedy Central\u2019s \u201cThe Daily Show\u201d and quickly became one of the preeminent political comedy stars in the country. He was a satirist, but his young, liberal, male audience trusted him to tell the truth about what was going on in politics.<\/p>\n<p>In a 2002 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2002\/02\/11\/is-it-funny-yet\">interview<\/a> with The New Yorker, Stewart described himself as the voice of \u201cthe disenfranchised center.\u201d But even then his politics leaned left. At one point the late night host called his beliefs more independent or socialist than Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Stewart <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/archives\/blogs\/show-tracker\/story\/2012-05-30\/late-night-jon-stewart-clarifies-his-support-for-socialism\">clarified<\/a> that while he doesn\u2019t support \u201cstate control of industry or collectivizing farms,\u201d he is in favor of the single-payer healthcare system and was a huge proponent of the Affordable Care Act.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, Stewart became more cynical and bitter and less funny. His new AppleTV+ show \u201cThe Problem With Jon Stewart\u201d has mostly been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/jon-stewarts-new-apple-tv-show-rumored-to-be-a-huge-flop-report\">a ratings disaster<\/a> kept afloat solely because of nostalgic fans who miss \u201cThe Daily Show\u201d and the ignorance of youth.<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Kimmel<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of universal healthcare supporters, fellow late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is yet another example of a leftist comedian. The 54-year-old \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live\u201d star used the story of his son being born with a congenital heart condition to make the case for overhauling healthcare in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf your baby is going to die and it doesn\u2019t have to, it shouldn\u2019t matter how much money you make,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/MmWWoMcGmo0\">said<\/a> in 2017. \u201cI think that\u2019s something that whether you\u2019re a Republican or a Democrat or something else, we all agree on that, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s also in favor of \u201ccommon sense\u201d gun laws, which he <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ruYeBXudsds\">spoke<\/a> about following the Las Vegas shooting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I\u2019m talking about tonight isn\u2019t about gun control; it\u2019s about common sense,\u201d Kimmel said at the time. \u201cCommon sense says no good will ever come from allowing a person to have weapons that can take down 527 Americans at a concert. Common sense says you don\u2019t let those who suffer from mental illness buy guns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John Oliver<\/p>\n<p>Emmy Award winner John Oliver is British but has become a staple on American television thanks to stints on \u201cThe Daily Show\u201d and the HBO series \u201cLast Week Tonight with John Oliver.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though he\u2019s not originally from this country, Oliver endorsed Joe Biden for president and openly celebrated his and Kamala Harris\u2019s win in the 2020 US presidential election. He described Donald Trump\u2019s defeat as a \u201creverse 9\/11\u201d because of all the celebrating in the city of Manhattan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was like that all day here in New York,\u201d he said, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.distractify.com\/p\/john-oliver-political-views\">Distractify<\/a>. \u201cThere was a mood here that can only be described as a reverse 9\/11. Why? Because it combined complete euphoria, an abiding disgust for Rudy Giuliani, and this time people actually were dancing on the rooftops in New Jersey. It was a really good day. Never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, Oliver <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/hbo-host-john-oliver-calls-parents-opposed-to-school-mask-mandates-idiots\">called<\/a> parents who opposed school mask mandates \u201cidiots,\u201d and said \u201cWe are only fighting about masks in school right now because there are a bunch of foolish adults who have decided not to get the vaccine, and to all of them, I can only say, to quote a bunch of upsettingly loud idiots, \u2018We know who you are, and you\u2019re the f***ing problem.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Samantha Bee<\/p>\n<p>It may be controversial to describe Samantha Bee as a comedian seeing as how very few people find her funny. But the far-left activist has certainly expressed her feelings on a wide range of topics such as gender theory and women\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year, we\u2019re seeing a tidal wave of transphobic legislation targeting kids, largely in retaliation for President Biden\u2019s executive order to protect trans rights,\u201d she said, telling conservatives to \u201cmind their own f***ing business\u201d when it came to protecting female sports, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-samantha-bee-tells-republicans-to-stop-transphobic-bills-and-mind-their-own-fing-business\">The Daily Wire<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey falsely claim trans women automatically have more testosterone and therefore more muscle mass than cis women,\u201d Bee continued. \u201cBut studies don\u2019t show a consistent relationship between testosterone and athletic performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The comedian accused Republicans of \u201cfear-mongering\u201d in regard to trans sports debates just like they did with bathroom bills.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis Black<\/p>\n<p>No one seems angrier than a screaming Lewis Black, who made his brand of \u201crage comedy\u201d into a recognizable brand. He\u2019s also a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailypress.com\/entertainment\/dp-xpm-20130920-2013-09-20-dp-fea-lewis-black-0920-20130920-story.html\">self-described<\/a> socialist who has no love for either party but is pro-gun control and pro-healthcare reform. Basically, Black hates everyone \u2013 especially Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve done something<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Left-leaning comedians are a dime a dozen.
