The Morning News https://ift.tt/2Z14o9o
A writer for Alternatino with Arturo Castro says writing sketch comedy during an era marked by Trump and mass shootings is particularly difficult because the news often jumps the joke.
Fortunately for the show but unfortunately for the world, viewers have grown to accept the fact that this horrible type of thing happens with such a degree of frequency that no comedy can get in its way. “Too soon?” has become a standup cliche, employed after a tasteless and topical joke. These days, it seems like we’re always too soon and never soon enough.
