They think it's amusing to make fun of the people who are lower in the social hierarchy than they are - the "other." Bullying, which is what conservatives consider humor, isn't funny except to other bullies. Most people don't enjoy jokes that just pick on people.

They aired a show called "The Half Hour Comedy Hour" in response to the success of "The Daily Show." It didn't last long, because it wasn't funny.

He isn't funny, isn't really late night, and no one outside of RW world cares about him. But they do have him.
