Actor and stand-up comedian Tim Allen, one of the few openly conservative voices left in Hollywood, spoke with Norm Macdonald about ABC’s abrupt cancellation of his hit show Last Man Standing, which Allen — and basically any honest person who’s looked at the ratings — believes was at least partly politically motivated. During the exchange, Allen said that in today’s climate nothing is perceived as more “dangerous” than a “funny, likable conservative.”
Allen’s show was cancelled in May after six highly successful seasons and no real evidence of that success slowing down anytime soon. Allen responded a week later by saying he was “stunned and blindsided” by ABC’s decision. In a sit-down on Norm Macdonald Live this week, Allen expanded on his response to the show’s demise and framed the decision in a larger cultural context.
