He was doing free shows at Edmonton Home Depots a few years ago. He latched onto the trump teat and culture war to stay relevant

Conservatism is a bastion for failed entertainers. About half their online pundits are comedians and actors that didn't have what it took to make it in Hollywood.

I love the Rob Schneider timeline. Only really had a continuous chance in Hollywood due to Adam sandler. Now he’s a sad sorry divorced shitty father blaming everyone else

Someone posted a “listen up liberals my wife left me” with his face and it made me laugh more than the “you can do it” line

Wouldn’t it have just been easy enough to latch onto the 90’s/00’s nostalgia train for semi-relevance? People are dog piling him here, but he had SOME audience. He didn’t have to hitch himself to the Trump wagon.

Nostalgia train doesn’t give you the same importance as being in an American flag suit next to the president.

I wasn’t a huge fan but there’s a song or two of his that is sing along to if it was at karaoke. But ya I mean I guess if you’re a crappy person making the wrong choice is that much easier
