Trevor Noah, Samantha bee, real Colbert etc. as a group are a huge step down from Stewart, parody Colbert, Obama's anger translator, etc.
The left is still rolling in the mainstream, but are losing major ground with new media (youtube and podcasts), which skews to a younger and more influence-able audience. The youtube SJW channels there consistently losing ground to the alt-right.
Joe Rogan has the most popular podcast in the world (or close to it) with around 100 million listens per month, and he regularly has funny right people: Steven Crowder, Gavin McInnes, Milo, Alex Jones (Alex Jones on Joe Rogan is the most popular podcast of all time), etc.
The left has gotten ridiculously pious since Trump has been elected, and piety gets old fast. The right is armed with free speech and being taboo, which is highly conducive to funny.
