Andrew Schulz argues that political messaging in late-night comedy is often driven by writers' fears of losing their jobs if they lean against a liberal consensus.

“a lot of people are writers for a show and they can write the bit that is leans conservative which could potentially get them in trouble and then maybe get them fired because someone else is worried about losing a job yeah right or they can write the bit that leans liberal which you'll never get fir”

Aba believes comedians should strive for ambiguity in their political opinions to maintain the integrity of their jokes.

“me personally I like to have the ambiguity of my thoughts because I think it helps the joke because I am a comedian before I'm anything else right so I don't want you to know where I'm going to go with it”
