Roseanne Barr probably wouldn&#8217;t be allowed on a Hollywood red carpet <em>today<\/em> after her 2018 cancellation for a racially-charged Tweet.<\/p>\n<p>For Black, it was business as usual this week. When pressed about the controversy by one journalist, he promised <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2024\/music\/news\/jack-black-tenacious-d-be-back-tour-cancellation-kyle-gass-trump-1236098171\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">his band would be back in action soon.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Black was never canceled.

Comedians have more wiggle room to share the jokes that cross their minds in 2024.

Or how that streaming platform now regularly works with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/comedy-rebels-rogan-carolla-dillon\/\">rebel comedians<\/a> like Tim Dillon, Shane Gillis and Rogan.<\/p>\n<p>Or, wishing death on President Donald Trump is hardly a cancel-worthy act.
