The only even SEMI-successful con comedian ever is Dennis Miller. He had his moments, but the minute he went political and mean he wasn't the slightest bit funny.

You may not think they're funny, I actually agree, but it seems to pay well. People like Don Rickles and Joan Rivers, et al have made good livings for themselves.
Then you have all of those celebrity roasts. That's where they all get together to be mean and it's really very popular.

Whoever's telling you to post this stuff is way, way off the pulse. Must be a much older person like you...
Trudeau? The guy was irrelevant 20 years ago...
you'd call Rickles and Rivers conservative comics? hmm.
well, they're both a 100 years old.
name some conservative comics that are funny, that are actually known to the public.
name a successful conservative comedy show. it's been tried, but bombed.

Wrong wrong wrong.
This cartoon gets it completely backwards. Comics are funniest when not doing political shtick at all. It's guaranteed to turn off (at least) half the audience.
The only comedian to make me laugh doing politics was Carlin. Why? Because there were NO sacred cows.
That's the point "Doonesbury" misses completely. Acting like "priveleged" whites and Catholics make good joke fodder is an outdated concept. Who could still laugh at a joke about how whites dance or walk? Please.
Stick to the funny stuff- the comic totally misses the mark.
Foxworthy isn't a TV show producer/director, etc. He just does standup. He's the most successful STANDUP comedian of all time. Others have made more money in other endeavors.
Foxworthy is not the most successful comic of all time.
And he most certainly does do production etc...

Foxworthy has also made several ventures into television, starting in the mid-1990s with his own sitcom called The Jeff Foxworthy Show. He has also appeared alongside Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy in several Blue Collar television specials, most notably Blue Collar TV. Since 2007, he has been the host of the quiz showAre You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? on Fox (2007–09) and in syndication (2009–11). Foxworthy hosted a nationally syndicated radio show called The Foxworthy Countdown from April 1999 to December 2009. For three seasons, he has been hosting GSN's The American Bible Challenge.

Ok, fair enough. Conservatives aren't funny.
Now, lets try THIS;
How about YOU name some liberal commentators that are interesting, that are actually known to the public enough to have, or had, a successful liberal talk radio show.
That too has been tried, but bombed, has it not?
Sooo.........what........... Does that mean liberals aren't interesting?
Hey, I know, what if you dems/libs start one of those weap-fest you are so famous for, demand a "Fairness" Doctrune and try to force "equal" air time for BOTH cons as well as libs, try to force people who are show they are interested enough in one perspective to actually support those presenting it to also have to support people presenting views they are NOT interested in, whatta ya say, dear, want to push that "fairness" in the media point some more?
And almost all of those, especially the Jeff Foxworthy Show, LOST money. He is the most successful, for his standup work, of all time. Seinfeld is richer, but most of that came from the TV series.
Which is basically immaterial. Foxworthy. Ron White. Bill Engvald, Larry the Cable guy and a half dozen others I can mention are all conservatives and all funny, and nothing at all like the Doonsebury cartoon offered at the beginning of the thread. One needn't be left wing to be funny.
A TV show lost money???? 5th Grader loses money??? Blue Collar Tour lost money!!!! You're shameless.
Face it, you're wrong. Or dishonest. This is a perfect example of the absurdity folks bring to the internet. A certain person calls them internet kooks. You're being one. You made a statement straight out of your ass. Not production you say. Yet I quickly show you you that yes...he also produces TV shows. You double down...They almost all lost money...you say. No...no...no, they did not.
In addition, he had a radio show and has written 11 books. Author, producer, voice talent...

Yes, Foxworthy's TV show was bad, and was barely ever aired. It wasn't successful. The Blue Collar Comedy Tour is STAND UP -- it made money.
No, I am attributing Foxworthy's financial success in standup to his financial success IN STAND UP which is unequaled.
And, as I pointed out, even if I was completely wrong about his financial success, he, Engvall, LTCG, Ron White, etc., show that you needn't be liberal to be funny.

Oh please. He was a one hit wonder. After his "ya might be a redneck" shtick wore out he was toast.
Don't even try to compare his wallet with Jerry Seinfeld's or about 100 others.
