To me, I think they are so easy to make fun and to find ways to talk about them, because I’m still trying to wrap my head around it and that’s my favorite area of comedy, when you’re trying to figure it out.I think it’s hard to talk about Trump, especially in America, because we’re all exhausted. That's all the goal was and to actually do it in a funny way, because the minute that people smell that you’re preaching, they tune out and I get it. In the first installment of her Adult Swim special, "Soft Focus with Jena Friedman," she delivers a segment about campus rape where she gets the company In Friedman's follow-up special, which premieres Jan. 25, she takes on tFriedman's voice and vision is refreshing in its originality, but still stingingly political and relevant to the current times. It scary stuff.I think every comedian crosses the line especially earlier on. And so as people who comment on culture and society, everyone's talking about it now, because it’s really hard to avoid.Now everyone is a political comic, because politics is all-encompassing and what does that mean for comedy? The cool thing about these Adult Swim shows, a lot of people who watch that are guys who are teens and in their 20s, and that’s not my target demo, but I love the idea of getting to talk to them and that was really what motivated this show.This is my attempt to reach a younger male demographic. And the more that I read about harassment in gaming, the more I realized that it's also a pretty big problem.It’s really funny that you said that because I had one of my male EPs [who] was like 'this is a little similar to the campus rape piece' and I was like, there are so many facets of society where women or people are harassed and assaulted in different ways that we could just do a whole show, like a whole season, on the different nuanced ways that people are harassed and assaulted. I think our understanding of narcissism and of con artists has expanded exponentially since Trump took office and so it’s really what enables that and how do we prevent that from happening again.

And if you’re somebody who can give people a rest, so that they can laugh and not get burned out, that’s also helpful, too.I think a lot of the topics come from my own fear and if you can find a way to make people laugh at it, you maybe have a little more control over it, and also, it’s not laughing at I guess. I had a joke in But I think as we all are adjusting to this new reality and looking at how he's risen to be in a position he’s in, we realize that there are so many complicit people who worked hard at that and that I think is kind of more interesting to me than him.

. 'The line's always changing.
I think that that is where I’m finding the interesting terrain of like the Mitch McConnells and the Paul Ryans and the people that enable Trump.
We all struggle with that all the time and it’s like, what people are laughing at and why are they laughing is also a really important thing to consider, especially in light of the past year.
I think if there were any moments where I had an instinct to cross the line, Jon [Stewart] would always reign me in in the edit. All rights reserved. 'I’m so glad you like it, too, because it's scary, this stuff is right on the line.
