Walter Masterson
Walter Masterson is an American comedian, actor, journalist and progressive pundit.
Masterson often infiltrates conservative settings for critique and comedy. For example, he was present at the January 6 United States Capitol attack, interviewing others.[1][2][3] Also in 2021, he appeared in a book censorship meeting for the Central Bucks School District, and satirized the censorship.[4]
In April and May 2021, he fed pigeons at 1211 Avenue of the Americas, headquarters of the Fox Corporation, in order to turn it into a bird sanctuary.[5]
In 2024, Masterson entered a feud with political aide John McEntee. On TikTok, McEntree posted many videos of him arguing conservative positions whilst eating food. Masterson parodied this, instead changing the arguments for progressive ones.[6]
In 2025, Masterson's "tariff talk" videos amassed attention online.[7]
Masterson is also an actor; he produced, wrote, and starred in the 2014 web series Llama Cop, alongside an actual llama named Como T. Llama.[8][9]
