Just reflects the culture. Polarized culture will give you polarized popular entertainment. Say what you will about authoritarian states like China, but it's not polarized and the populace is largely a-political, as far as I can tell. I am sure that is a happier mental place to be.

There's tons of comedy out there on the streaming channels as well as YouTube that isn't just political commentary with added one-liners. I'd never watch any of these late night shows if I wanted a laugh.

You had Rodney Dangerfield, Steve Martin and Don Rickles and many more.
Is there anyone like that now?
Drybar.
G or PG funny. Some of the jokes and routines are very funny. And here's what I find interesting...Several of these comedians have much bluer shows, but they clean it up for Drybar and are still funny.
