Punching Up: That Sh*t Ain't Funny

Wednesday at 7p ET! Host Maya May and a panel of comedians discuss and debate where the line is or should be for political comedy. Is "it was just a joke" a legit excuse for calling Puerto Rico a "floating pile of garbage?" What does it mean for comedians to "punch up" and how many are punching down for laughs? Should they pay a professional price or is it time, as JD Vance says, for people to "get over" being offended by racist jokes? Join us Wednesday at 7p ET for the latest Punching Up!
