Comedian and former Late Night host Conan O'Brien has warned comedians who make their criticisms of US President Donald Trump the sole focus of their comedy have been 'co-opted' and have abandoned their best weapon.
Speaking at a recent Oxford Union panel, O'Brien argued that the constant anti-Trump outrage has led some of his peers to exchange humour for anger, a move that he believes renders their comedy ineffective. His comments offer a rare insight into how Trump's presidency has fractured the genre.
