In reply to the discussion: Can you name any successful conservative comedians? [View all]LeftInTX
(25,059 posts)87. I liked him OK
He had sensory issues when he got older, which made a dent in his comedy routines...
Apparently, he couldn't see well and lost his sense of timing etc...I think this was in the 70's...
He could host events, but with his vision issues etc, it was hard to have that dry humor...
I never like the "Road to ........" movies...Those were stupid and corny

He may personally be a Trump supporter but I don't think he ever did political humor.
