Jon hamm gay

Speaking with Howard Stern back in September of 2022, Jon discussed having to work through a lot of trauma in order to see himself getting married.

Charlie Kirk, meanwhile, said he might even watch SNL again.

If I knew that the show would make fun of both sides equally, maybe I’d be more likely to tune in.

Then again I’d be even more likely to tune in if it were actually funny…but hey, baby steps (no pun intended).

Right-wingers are so detached from comedy, they’ve apparently forgotten how to understand a joke.

The general consensus seems to be that “wokeism” has gone too far, and we’ve spent too much time focusing on pronouns and safe spaces and ignored real concerns that average Americans have.

And it seems like many viewers think that cultural shift was on display on SNL over the weekend when they ran a skit featuring two straight couples questioning a gay couple about where (and how) they got their baby.

In the sketch, Bowen Yang and guest host Jon Hamm play a gay couple who show up with a new baby, despite not having one the night before.

One sketch doesn’t really prove anything, other than they apparently feel comfortable joking about things that were off limits just a few years ago.

It’s a good start.

As you may be able to surmise, the dialogue quickly descends into absurdity, like many SNL skits.

“Excuse me?

“People think they can ask gay people anything,” Hamm shouts at one point.

We understand the concept of satire may be difficult for MAGA grifters to grasp, considering they never laugh about anything. Or…well, pretty much any of their political sketches over the past decade mocking conservatives and MAGA supporters?

And to be clear, the problem isn’t that they mock Donald Trump or conservatives.

But a sketch mocking the idea of a gay couple showing up with a baby and acting like they gave birth to it NEVER would have aired on SNL just a couple of years ago…and probably wouldn’t have aired had Kamala Harris won the 2024 election.

The clip of the sketch began making its rounds on social media, with conservatives praising the show for finally going there with something that was previously off limits to the liberal left.

"Could you ever commit to one woman, be married?" the radio show host asked, and he didn't hesitate with his response, insisting: "Yes. While the back-and-forth definitely satirizes the rigidity of queer advocacy, it also lampoons right-wing outrage about “wokeness.”

In other words, Yang and Hamm are playing caricatures. And when their friends question where they got the baby, the gay couple gets offended and accuses the straight couples of homophobia, transphobia, you know, all the buzzwords these days.

And to be clear, I’m not saying it’s a particularly funny sketch.

“The vibe shift is real,” posted an anti-trans author named Helen Joyce.

Umm… not quite!

On the most recent episode, Yang and Jon Hamm play two gay parents who become indignant when asked any questions about their newborn baby, who wasn’t with them the previous night.

Outside of SNL, his most notable role probably came in Fire Island, a romcom that pillories the exclusivity of the gay vacation mecca.

It’s ours,” replies Yang. “It’s not OK!”

Towards the end of the nearly three minute sketch, Yang accuses the straight people in the group of being transphobic. They interpret every piece of art through a political lens.

“SNL breaks the trans taboo,” blared a right-wing website called UnHerd. Hoo-ray!

Little do MAGA sh*tposters know, Yang has been spoofing gay culture for years.

They should come up with a word for when people have a phobia against homos!” Hamm says towards the end. Or when they invited Kamala Harris onto the show the weekend before the 2024 election? I've never been married, but I could for sure."

He explained: "This is all part of what I'm saying, this is another place in my life that I feel very settled and comfortable with," then added: "I'm in a relationship now and it's comfortable, it's a feeling… Taking care of someone else and being taken care of."

Detailing the work he had to do on himself and his mental health in order to be open to a relationship, he further shared: "It has also been a process of working on myself, my mental health, all this stuff with my therapist and unpacking all of that trauma," admitting that early trauma blocked a lot of his availability and vulnerability when it came to love.

However, he maintained: "It has made the relationship I'm in now more meaningful, and opened up the possibility of being married, having kids, defining a new version of happiness, life, wellness…"

Is SNL trying to win back the right?

Aside from being painfully unfunny these days, the long-running sketch comedy show has leaned pretty hard to the left in recent years, turning off many of their viewers on the right.

I mean, remember when they opened their first show after the 2016 election with Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton performing “Hallelujah” like it was some kind of funeral for America?
