- 요약This dissertation examines the works of satirical comedians within legacy media institutions such as broadcasting and cable television in the United States and public service radio in Denmark during the latter half of the 2010s, which roughly coincides with the Trump presidency. Studying the evolving dynamics between artistic presumptions, industrial norms, and actual audiences, it argues that various technological and political shifts increasingly rendered these relationships incongruous over time. This incongruity became particularly evident during moments of crisis, such as the election of Donald Trump in 2016, when a 'missed connection' became apparent and a new equilibrium was sought. The study explores how these relationships were constructed, articulated, and amended over time, with a focus on how comedians addressed their imagined audiences within the context of surging right-wing and far-right populism.The dissertation primarily employs a textual analysis approach, engaging political comedy as a mode of rhetoric with an emphasis on framing and social imagination. It documents performers' attempts to navigate the right-wing populist surge by using varying levels of reflexivity and comedic techniques to delineate communities that gradually recognized their limited and distinct existence within the nation, emphasizing discontinuity and difference. Additionally, it explores the comedians' efforts to reconcile two industrial conceptions of political comedy: one rooted in nation-serving broadcasting that combines entertainment and critique for a broad audience, and the other viewing political comedy as a genre targeting specific demographic clusters.Moreover, the theme of internationalism is examined, with comedians framing their perspectives to transcend, decenter, or historicize the nation, promoting an international outlook that resonated most when defending a diverse understanding of national identity. This approach distinguished them from nationalist populist movements and influenced the production strategies of globally integrated American networks, which increasingly hired comedians of multinational backgrounds to attract cosmopolitan viewers in the U.S. and abroad.
