Political humor has been a staple of late-night television for
decades. The Trump White House, however, has received significantly
greater attention than that of past presidents, such as Barack
Obama, George W. Bush, and even Bill Clinton. In response to
Trump's strident politics, late-night comics, including Stephen
Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Trevor Noah and Jimmy Fallon, have sounded
key policy notes, further blurring the boundary between news and
satire. Weekly humorists, including John Oliver and Samantha Bee,
extend the critique with in-depth probing of key issues, while
Saturday Night Live continues to tap the progression from outrage
to outrageousness. Using unique content analysis techniques and
qualitative discussions of political humor, Farnsworth and Lichter
show how late-night political humor, and these seven programs in
particular, have responded to the Trump presidency. Employing a
dataset of more than 100,000 late night jokes going back decades,
these noted media scholars discuss how the treatment of Trump
differs from previous presidents, and how the Trump era is likely
to shape the future of political humor. The authors also employ
public opinion survey data to consider the growing role these
late-night programs play in framing public opinion and priorities.
This book will interest scholars, the curious public, and students
of politics, communications and the media, and contemporary
American culture.
