Does everything get labeled liberal/conservative? Is this our narrow view of everything?
Yes it is. Many of us now have only one way to contemplate anything in life.
First we have to decide whether it's liberal or it's conservative.
But having said that, there's no denying that the lion's share of professional comedians have a liberal political bent. At least those who rely on political material.
That's because comedians come from a liberal show business culture. It's been that way since the late 50's.
Here's one list of political comedians. As you can see, Dennis Miller is the only one with conservative political views...

Some would add Jay Leno to the list of comics who aren't liberal. But he's more of a toaster than a conservative.
Would explain a lot.
