  • Do late night comedians -- and more pointedly, their studio bosses -- need to fear reprisals and retaliation for jokes they tell about Donald Trump? Such a threat might sound remote, but the prospect could have a chilling effect on one of the country's leading forms of political commentary: late night comedy.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's recent criticisms of late-night comedians and their employers, suggesting that these attacks could have a chilling effect on comedy and free speech. Trump has targeted shows like "Saturday Night Live" and "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," accusing them of bias and unfair treatment. His comments have raised concerns about the potential impact on comedians' willingness to engage in political satire, fearing repercussions from Trump's significant influence over his supporters and possibly affecting the networks' decisions on content. The piece explores how this might lead to self-censorship among entertainers, potentially stifling humor that critiques political figures, and examines the broader implications for freedom of expression in media.
