Ben discusses the concept of 'edgy' comedy, contrasting it with gratuitous slamming, and reflects on Jon Stewart's influence on comedy news.

Shownotes Transcript

As late-night television falls from the cultural relevance and political influence it once enjoyed, Ben uses the recent controversy surrounding comedian Hasan Minaj's bending of the truth to highlight where comedy can once again regain its stride.
