Got to give credit to these guys .

I never got the whole thing about comedians or entertainers being so political.
It seems they realize the anti Trump thing has been done .

After the election, you started to hear comments from the audience, whether it was a yay or a boo, and we said, ‘We don’t want that. We’re not here to preach,'” he added.

“So we started limiting the divisive political material from the act because you get that on late-night TV,” Martin continued. “It’s not something you want to pay [for]. We’re just trying to be funny.”

I think that’s great to give people a break from trashy trump. We hear enough about his stupidity on the news and radio.

Great!! I saw their show. It was really good. They have Steve Martin's bluegrass band with them and they are amazing, especially the fiddler. I think Netflix has their show but left out the fiddler's solo for some reason. But I highly recommend the show either live or no Netflix. I LOVE Martin Short. He's a riot.

It's a good thing they already have 40+ years in the entertainment industry cuz just remaining neutral is enough to be burned at the stake when it comes to Hollywood and Trump.

Yeah makes me wonder if lib Hollywood will “boycott” them for failing to do their part in demonizing Trump .
You are right if they didn’t have experience and track record that would likely be what would happen
