Andrew Santino's Disney Adult Jokes Censored by Disney on Hulu Special

Andrew Santino, known for his edgy comedy and podcasts like 'Whiskey Ginger' and 'Bad Friends,' faced an unusual challenge with his latest special. Disney, owning Hulu, reviewed the content and requested changes to jokes targeting 'Disney Adults' - fans who are perceived to be overly enthusiastic about Disney.

Santino and Disney negotiated, resulting in altered jokes. While Santino managed to keep the bit, he admits the jokes were 'manipulated' and not as sharp as his original material. This raises questions about the future of comedy specials on platforms owned by large corporations.

This incident underscores the increasing pressure on comedians to self-censor or face pushback from media companies concerned about brand image. Santino's experience may influence other comedians' decisions about where to release their content, potentially driving more talent towards independent platforms like podcasts and self-produced specials.

'White Noise' is Andrew Santino's new comedy special premiering on Hulu, featuring his signature provocative humor.

Disney was reportedly concerned that jokes about Disney adults would reflect negatively on their brand.

'White Noise' will be available on Hulu starting September 12th.
