‘SNL’ Alum Jon Lovitz Blasts Late-Night Talk Show Hosts For ‘Left-Wing’ Politics

Former Saturday Night Live star Jon Lovitz blasted late-night hosts Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers for continuing to push a leftist political agenda during their shows.
While he admitted that hosts like these should have the freedom to talk about whatever they want, he still believed that these shows have become more political over time. He specifically focused on how divisive these shows have become ever since the Trump era.
“I don’t like it. I don’t like it,” the SNL alum told Fox News. “They were comedy shows. And now, except for Jimmy Fallon, they’ve all become very political. And for me, it’s just – it’s too much.”
“I mean, Johnny Carson would, you know, he would do two or three jokes about whoever was president then or what was going on then and that was it. But they were entertainment shows,” he continued.
