The Will & Harper star refers to herself as “purple-haired woke” but wonders if sometimes political correctness takes some of the fun out of comedy.
Steele claimed that removing “some of the range” that comedy performers can access on shows like SNL also removes “the joy of playing” for people like Will Ferrell.
As society continues to become more accepting of different gender identities and the LGBTQIA+ community as a whole, more performers will be forced to reckon with past roles that don’t fly in a more tolerant world.
Hopefully, most will react as Will Ferrell did regarding his problematic SNL sketches—with humility, grace, and the appropriate amount of remorse.
