“Rob Schneider: Woke Up in America,” a hilarious take on the current events of modern America that debuted on Fox Nation earlier this week.The actor and comedian proved he hasn’t lost his luster, keeping the audience in stitches by wisecracking on everything from today’s culture wars, COVID-19 mask mandates and his own vasectomy to making a movie with Donald Trump. Schneider told “Fox & Friends” on Monday that the secret to modern comedy comes from appealing to the demand for someone who isn’t afraid to push back against censorship or “go against the grain.”Here are some can’t-miss moments from the actor-comedian’s latest endeavor, exclusively available on Fox Nation:Schneider said he voted for Trump – a few times – in 2016.“It was in California, and I was writing on my kitchen counter – I had the ballot because, you know, in California, they mail you like 100 of them,” he joked. “I was just filling them out.
