My only rebuttal to this, is the whitehouse correspondance dinner. That's the whole point of comedy.

Jeselnik said something to this point when he mentioned the Boston marathon bombing. What's funny about the bombing, nothing. But that's why there comedians who can find humor in the darkest of places.

Pretty sure Seth Myers caused Trump to run for President tho. Or maybe it was his opening act

I would say Jon Stewart was more influential for Trump running for president. Stewart had him on the Daily Show multiple times trying to lampoon Trump for being a birth certificate denyer towards Obama. Steward continually egged him on, well if you can do better why don't you run for president?
