She joins Women\u2019s Marches when a Republican is in the White House and transformed her stand-up shtick to be more progressive.<\/p>\n<p>Handler left her Netflix talk show several years ago to concentrate full-time on so-called activism. Now, she\u2019s back on the streamer with the Dec. 27 comedy special \u201cChelsea Handler: Revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Handler, promoting the special tells the LA Times what<a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment-arts\/story\/2022-12-15\/chelsea-handler-revolution-netflix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> she thinks of Cancel Culture<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t have a problem with people saying, \u201cDon\u2019t be sexist. Don\u2019t be racist. Don\u2019t go for the lowest hanging fruit.\u201d There\u2019s no reason to make fun of trans people \u2014 they already have a target on their back. There\u2019s no reason to make fun of these marginalized communities. Instead, we should be making fun of the communities that have the power. If you want to go after somebody, that\u2019s a bigger target. It\u2019s not that hard to be more clever.<\/p>\n<p>Her rant ignores the reality comedians face in the Cancel Culture age. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/kevin-hart-oscar-host-homophobic\/\">Kevin Hart lost a dream job<\/a> as Oscars host when a decade-old routine \u201cresurfaced\u201d with homophobic inferences despite his repeat apologies for the material.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Silverman lost a plum movie gig because she<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2019\/aug\/12\/sarah-silverman-fired-from-film-blackface-photo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> donned blackface<\/a> a decade earlier, except the bit in question attacked racism in an unconventional way.<\/p>\n<p>Even the cleanest comics aren\u2019t immune to Cancel Culture.

Except it didn\u2019t stop there.<\/p>\n<p>He was set to host \u201cIn the USA Today\u201d for the Game Show Network when somebody attached to the project found fault with a joke from one of his previous comedy specials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then they went through all of my material from my whole career,\u201d he adds, including all of his appearances on Joe Rogan\u2019s podcast, \u201cand they couldn\u2019t come up with one other thing and they still yanked it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey pulled a plug on the whole project,\u201d Papa told The Daily Beast.\u00a0Cancel Culture \u201cdefinitely exists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Especially for comedians unwilling to become woke \u201callies\u201d to the cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some comedians may have an ulterior motive for going woke.
