In a rare moment of honesty from Hollywood, comedy legend Conan O'Brien has delivered a brutal reality check to his fellow entertainers who have built their entire careers around screaming profanities at President Trump instead of actually making people laugh.

O'Brien, the former Late Night and Tonight Show host, expressed his frustration with the current state of comedy, specifically targeting comedians whose entire persona revolves around "screaming" about Trump rather than crafting genuine humor. This comes as President Trump begins his second term with overwhelming mandate from the American people.

"I think there's a difference between being funny and just being angry," O'Brien noted, delivering what amounts to a devastating critique of the lazy, Trump-obsessed comedy that has dominated late-night television and stand-up venues for nearly a decade.

The Truth About Trump Derangement Syndrome in Comedy

O'Brien's comments expose what patriotic Americans have known for years – that most of Hollywood's so-called "comedians" aren't actually funny. They're just angry leftists who discovered they could get cheap applause from liberal audiences by shrieking "F Trump" instead of developing actual comedic talent.

Think about it: when was the last time Saturday Night Live, Stephen Colbert, or any of these supposedly "brilliant" comedians actually made you laugh instead of just nodding along with their political rants? They've become propaganda machines masquerading as entertainment.

"The best comedy comes from truth and observation, not from political rage," entertainment industry insiders note.

O'Brien's willingness to call out this lazy approach to comedy shows there might still be some integrity left in the entertainment world. While his colleagues have spent years contributing to the divisive political climate, O'Brien is reminding everyone what comedy is supposed to be about – making people laugh, not indoctrinating them.

As President Trump continues his America First agenda with massive public support, maybe it's time for Hollywood's comedy establishment to actually try being funny again. American audiences are clearly ready for real entertainment over political lectures.

Will O'Brien's honest assessment wake up the comedy world, or will they continue screaming into the void while Trump successfully makes America great again?

I've always respected Conan even though we probably disagree politically. He actually tries to be funny instead of just getting cheap applause from his audience. That's what real comedy is about.

This is why I stopped watching most comedy shows. My kids and I used to love watching together but now it's just awkward with all the political stuff.

Same here! We stick to older comedy specials now. At least those were actually funny.

Does anyone know if there's a video of him saying this? Would love to see the full context of his comments.

Respect to Conan for saying what we've all been thinking. I miss the days when I could watch comedy without being lectured about politics every five minutes.

FINALLY someone in Hollywood with common sense! Comedy used to be about making everyone laugh, not just pushing political agendas.

Exactly! Remember when comedians could joke about anything without making it political?

Good for Conan! Takes guts to call out your own industry like that.

About time! Maybe this will inspire other comedians to focus on actual humor again.
