Adam Carolla Curses Out Woke Chelsea Handler
Podcaster skewers former E! star for stifling comedians at Netflix's Kevin Hart roast

Adam Carolla is no Howard Stern.
The flailing King of All Media once stood tall for free speech – mostly, in retrospect, when it involved his FCC battles.
Now, Stern is mostly silent on woke gone wild, Cancel Culture the recent progressive attempts to silence speech. How many conservatives have been attacked or shouted down on college campuses in recent years?
Too many. And Carolla even made a movie about it.
Carolla never stops standing up for his fellow comics’ right to say the jokes they want to share. He’s repeatedly defended former “Man Show” partner Jimmy Kimmel over his more notorious gags.
Now, Carolla is coming to the defense of Shane Gillis and Tony Hinchcliffe. The rebel comics are under fire from the far-Left for telling tasteless jokes at Netflix’s “The Roast of Kevin Hart.”
Roasts invite the most outrageous, offensive gags possible. No rules. None.
That was the case until the woke era took over. Now, as woke fades, roasts are back in vogue.
Tell that to Chelsea Handler. She literally took part in the Hart roast and complained about it later. She slammed Gillis and Hinchcliffe for gags involving race, lynchings and George Floyd. She also made it personal, slamming them as racist, bigoted and sexist.
Gillis responded sarcastically, wishing her well while promoting her woke bona fides.

Hinchcliffe repeatedly slammed Handler from his “Kill Tony” pulpit, which invites comedians from all backgrounds to share his stage.

Now, it’s Carolla’s turn.
“Chelsea Handler is such a piece of s***,” Carolla said on his signature podcast about the “controversy.”
“No one cares what you find to be funny. It’s a Kevin Hart roast. The audience was laughing their ass off, so they find it to be funny. We’re not there so Her Highness can be pleased by jokes. It’s not your roast. It’s Kevin Hart’s.

The podcaster also questioned her liberal bona fides.
“First, stop saying ‘white white white.’ You’re a blond. You’re the whitest of them all, and you’re skating by on your blond hair,” he said. “Just shut up, tell the jokes or don’t.”
Carolla extended his attack to her comments regarding L.A. Mayoral hopeful Spencer Pratt. Rather than attack his policies, Handler played the white male card against him.
“He’s white. He’s male. He’s heterosexual … who’s the racist here?” Carolla asked.
