    You still can't say Merry Christmas in woke Hollywood. It's interesting one of the most foul mouthed female comedians on the face of the earth gets in trouble with HR not for her endless vulgarity but for the words "Merry Christmas".

    Comedian Whitney Cummings says she got in trouble for saying 'merry Christmas' while on the set of 'Roseanne'

    Comedy writer Whitney Cummings revealed that she was reprimanded by human resources after she wished a coworker "merry Christmas" on the set of the TV show "Roseanne."


    Cummings, a longtime comedian and writer for Comedy Central's roast programs as well as the show "2 Broke Girls," discussed her disdain for "woke" employees with fellow comedian Bill Maher.

    On Maher's "Club Random" podcast, the duo discussed how one "social justice warrior" at a workplace can ruin the experience for all the other employees.

    "I am paranoid about hiring … with the way people are now, especially the younger generation. We’re a happy group and we have been for a very long time, and we function really well together. People don’t wanna leave,” Maher said about his own production.

    "All it takes is one stupid f**king uber-woke person who thinks they’re a social justice warrior but they just want to stir up s***," he added.

    Cummings then recalled facing discipline while working on the set of "Roseanne."

    "I think most people are reasonable, I think we hear from the fringes the most, like when HR called me to tell me I was in trouble for saying 'merry Christmas.' They were like 'hey, so like,' they thought it was ridiculous too," Cummings remembered. "I confronted the person and I basically was like 'you're dangerous to everybody in this office.'"

    The sitcom was a beloved blue-collar show on ABC (Disney) that turned woke and fired star Roseanne Barr over alleged racism on X, then Twitter. The show originally ran from 1988 to 1997 until being rebooted in 2018 before Barr's firing.

    The show name was then changed to "The Conners" and carried on without Barr.
