Don Rickles would be jailed.
Don Rickles used to openly make racist insults to drunk people in the audience and never, not once, did anything get offended.
Buy the Dean Martin celebrity roasts and keep them where no one can confiscate them because they're probably coming for them.

this? doesn't sound like he is worried about being cancelled...it just isn't the material he likes to do because it is such a charged environment

Jay Leno says he’s given up on touching politics in his comedy sets because it tends to suck the funny out of his standup shows.
“We live in an era now — I don’t even do politics anymore in my act,” the former “Tonight Show” host told ITK in a recent interview.
“An audience is like an orchestra. You’re up there and you’re getting the laughs,” Leno said, “Then you get into the political stuff.”
“It just goes ahhh,” Leno said, making an indignant, groaning sound.
“It turns mean. They want to hear what the joke is — whether it’s about my guy or against my guy.”
“They’re not thinking of the joke. They’re thinking of the implications of the joke,” the 73-year-old entertainer, who hosted NBC’s late-night talk show until 2014, said.
“So to me, I just don’t do it anymore. I just find it so annoying,” Leno, who still performs around the country, said.
“I find [the] audience likes it better. Hopefully they come to a comedy show to get away from politics,” he said.
“I think we get enough of everybody’s opinions. It’s nice to hear a singer just sing, or a comedian just be funny.”
Dude is dead to me. Either Dave is your friend or he isn’t. If he’s your friend, don’t apologize for taking a pic with him. If he’s not your friend, don’t take the pic. Such a sniveling coward.

not the same thing, IMO. Dave pushes the envelope and knows he has a soapbox that millions will listen to. He knew what he was doing. He rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

some people just like to clutch pearls
yet they will be all in on cancelling Kathy Griffith for doing anything that goes against what they want to hear.

Meanwhile they never followed her anyway. They just get rallied because she did some dumb shit about their guy.
Just like the lgbtq community tries to go after Dave. Neither side was a dan of either, and should have no power over their career.
The only people it affects are the ones trying to be ultumately mainstream. If youre a Kevin Hart, you can be cancelled.

I don't disagree with him at all. If I hear a comedian going on about politics, it drags the show down.
there are better things to make jokes about.
maybe because politics is just such a sad state of affairs these days...it just brings you down to think about

she's a D list celeb...she did something that gave her career a little boost and it got her name into the news.
if some D list comedian from the right had said something and got "cancelled" the right would go out in droves to see that comedian perform regardless of how funny they were.

hard to cancel someone who wasn't really anything to begin with...she moved the needle with what she did but no one was really going out to see her before she did that

Kathy Griffin is type of person Patton Oswald was apologizing to.
Which is kinda fucked up. But that’s ugly people for ya.

honestly, I'd go see him.........now that might be fun.......he is in my area April 13th on a Saturday.
Thanks for posting.
I remember his pre-Tonight Show stuff being pretty raunchy...or at least not super clean
closest he gets to me is Ocean City, MD
and I bet him and Arsenio Hall would be a fun one to see
