From Lenny Bruce to Richard Pryor to George Carlin’s 7 words you can’t say on TV, and on to Chris Rock and Michelle Wolf, our comedy has traditionally used outrageousness, offense, and over-exaggeration to make make us laugh, shock us, and skewer our elected officials and leaders. But in a time of campus safe spaces, cultural upheaval, and new norms, things seem to be changing…and not always for the better. Where is the line in 2018 and what’s changed? And how do we get each other laughing again?
