Everybody Loves Raymond star Patricia Heaton explains why comedy shows aren’t funny anymore.

She says writers’ rooms have become so woke that even a Marine character couldn’t dislike hugs because that was deemed “homophobic.”

Instead of fighting over what’s funny, she says writers now fight over “what’s offensive.”

“The first thing I heard [when I walked into the room of writers] was where they came from or what ethnicity they were or what sexuality they identified as. And I kept thinking, ‘Yeah, but can they write comedy?’” Heaton said.
