Ryan Long's bits expose the lie too much to let him keep going. This is most likely the opening shot.

The only guys who will be allowed to be funny are the border guards. They'll let Dave be occasionally edgy on Netflix so there can be pushback from the left. Dave's job is now to define the edge of the Overton window and be yelled at for it.
My bit "I dated a trans-man once. I just thought she was really into men's clothes and Axe body spray. She's said 'no, I'm a man,' and I said 'baby, you're 4'11"'" would be hilarious, a rhetorical nuke, and it also would have to be done by an exiled comedian like @OwenBenjaminRep
