Dana Carvey: Comedians afraid to mock Obama

By Around the Web

(BREITBART) — Comedian Dana Carvey understands why comedians initially tread carefully when joking about President Barack Obama, the nation’s first black Commander in Chief. What the former Saturday Night Live standout can’t fathom is why fellow comic Dennis Miller got taken to the pop culture woodshed for embracing conservatism.

Carvey expounded on his career, political humor and the host of radio’s syndicated program The Dennis Miller Show during a wide-ranging chat with Carl Kozlowski’s Radio Titans podcast Kozversations.

The pair addressed the current state of political comedy, with Carvey sharing how he views his role as a stand-up and social commentator. In short, it’s all about the person in power at the moment. When it came to President Obama, that process hit a snag initially.
