Rob Schneider explained why Dana Carvey’s Dubya impression was brilliant, while Alec Baldwin’s Trump is just not very funny, and I think he hit it right on the nose.

From the New York Daily News:

“Carvey played it respectfully,” Schneider said. “To me, the genius of Dana Carvey was Dana always had empathy for the people he played, and Alec Baldwin has nothing but a fuming, seething anger toward the person he plays.” Schneider said Baldwin is “hard to watch” as Trump because his political slant is obvious by a quick glimpse at his Twitter account. “Alec Baldwin is a brilliant actor… he’s not a comedian,” Schneider flatly shared. “I don’t find his impression to be comical,” he added. “Because, like I said, I know the way his politics lean and it spoils any surprise. There’s no possible surprise. He so clearly hates the man he’s playing.”







Later in the interview he goes after liberals for political correctness:

He enjoys finding humor in making fun of liberals so they can find the “hypocrisy” in their actions — something Schneider says has become increasingly difficult in today’s “PC” culture. “Literally if you don’t go the party line — you’re out. There’s a real ugliness to it,” he explained.

But he clearly wasn’t trying to offend Alec Baldwin:

He makes a very insightful point about comedy.
