Politics & Power Quote by Megan Gallagher

A telling kind of noncommittal commitment: “I would say” softens the claim even as it plants a flag. Megan Gallagher isn’t just naming a favorite; she’s signaling comfort with a show whose brand is provocation. In the late-’90s/early-2000s ecosystem where Politically Incorrect lived and breathed, “politically incorrect” wasn’t a neutral descriptor. It was a cultural password, shorthand for being allergic to pieties, suspicious of polite consensus, and eager for the frisson of saying the unsayable on camera.

The phrase “my favourite right now” matters because it frames taste as current, flexible, and socially aware. She’s not canonizing the program; she’s aligning with a mood. That temporal hedge reads like a savvy publicist’s instinct: endorsement without marriage, enthusiasm without the burden of defending every episode. It also mirrors the show’s own pitch: a nightly cocktail of opinions meant to feel urgent, not enduring.

As an actress, Gallagher’s intent is likely less ideological than relational and reputational. Name-checking a buzzy panel show suggests she’s plugged into the conversation, game for edge, and not afraid of messy talk. The subtext is career-language: I can handle a room where people interrupt, argue, and flirt with controversy; I’m contemporary; I’m not fragile.

There’s also a faint critique embedded in the compliment. When “politically incorrect” becomes a favorite, it implies that mainstream talk has gotten too careful to be fun. The line flatters the show and gently jabs at the culture around it, all while keeping Gallagher’s own stance comfortably deniable.
