In this episode we bring you a deep dive into the world of the right-wing comedy complex, from the hyper-visible Joe Rogan to the subterranean shows, circuits, and celebrities you may never have heard of, but whose success represents a crucial political development. Stephanie Brown talks with Matt Sienkiewicz and Nick Marx about their new book That’s Not Funny: How the Right Makes Comedy Work for Them.
