She lost me as a fan when she was willing to profit being in a series by Amy Schumer, but wouldn't defend Amy against antisemitism when people came on her IG to complain she associated with a Jew who cares about Israel. Her husband is a religious rapper so I assumed they would be decent enough to step up and set a boundary against hate on social media. It was gross. She will profit from a Jew, but won't defend one. No thank you.

I have not followed this controversy as it relates to Anjelah Johnson but appreciate your highlighting absences of allyship and #JewsDontCount issues.

That said, "She will profit from a Jew, but won't defend one" describes most of the public-facing "talent" in the entertainment industry at the moment.

Jim Gaffigan wasn't afraid to be an ally to his Jewish friends. He had a funny shtick about how he needed to apologize to his Jewish friends and something like "I guess you weren't being paranoid after all." He's classy and genuine.

Not OP but usually someone who doesn’t use profanity or any really racy sexual jokes. Of the different comedy channels on Sirius, the one that used to be called Laugh USA is now called Pure Comedy (I assume to accentuate that distinction) and features standup from a bunch of those listed here, including Gaffigan, Bargatze (who I’ve seen live, he’s hilarious) Bob Newhart and Steven Wright.

Pure Comedy? Yuk, laugh USA was a better name

Sinbad is not late. He had a stroke and is recovering. He even joked that his stroke joke kind of came true. He is with a woman that knows the signs.

He’s a raging Trumper.

Is he really? That’s disappointing but not surprising

Yes. He even moved his family out of LA, to like AZ or somewhere super republican.

Wow. He always paints his wife as super liberal or very free spirited

I know this is a poor example nowadays but does Bill Cosby count as clean comedy? I liked The Cosby Show.

What about John Ritter?
