Episode Description

Buckle up for a ride through the world of political comedy under siege. This week, Jo and Tara Setmayer break down Jimmy Kimmel’s wild return from suspension, Disney and ABC’s backstage power plays, and the chilling push from FCC threats and Trump-backer media moguls. It’s full balls-to-the-wall, South Park energy as they dissect how corporate interests, right-wing media, and grassroots outrage collided to save late-night comedy…at least for now. Jo gets personal about Disney nostalgia, dog show circuits, and why laughter is medicinal when democracy’s on the ropes, while Tara explains the real cost of speaking out when everyone’s watching and waiting to cancel. Listen as these tough Jersey girls call out censorship tactics, hypocrisy in “hate speech,” and remind us why courage and humor are non-negotiable if America’s gonna weather this storm.
