On the latest PopPolitics radio show on SiriusXM, Evan Sayet discussed his career as a conservative comedian. The former writer on Politically Incorrect just taped an upcoming standup special at the El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood, and is the author of The Kindergarten of Eden: How the Modern Liberal Thinks.

“Showbiz in general is overwhelmingly liberal because showbiz is a child-like profession,” Sayet says. “Actors pretend to be. It is very telling to me that the actor who pretends to be a soldier votes Democrat. The soldier votes Republican.”

Hollywood industry rag Variety wrote about Sayet's interview, reporting that Sayet says he was viewed differently before he switched political allegiance after the 9/11 attacks, along with other entertainment figures such as Jon Voight, David Zucker, and Dennis Miller.

“There is an assumption that you are not going to be funny. At a party with liberals, including comedians, if they don’t know who I am and we are having a conversation … and it turns to politics and they say, ‘You’re a conservative? But you’re so nice. You’re a conservative? But you’re so funny.’ This caricaturing of conservatives is not what is real. It is what liberals tell each other what conservatives are.”

“It’s funny how I was brilliant when I was a liberal," he continues… "The day that my politics turned conservative, and therefore so did the material, suddenly I was no longer funny.”

Sayet said he disagrees with Hillary Clinton “on every single issue to the nth degree,” but he also wasn’t enthusiastic about Donald Trump at the beginning of the election season. “Donald Trump was my 17th choice out of 17. But he’s my first choice out of two now that we have this race.” He added, “My Donald Trump joke is this: I agree with Donald Trump about half the time -- unfortunately it is on every issue. It is a political statement that may be true. It is not just, ‘Oh, he’s a clown.'”
