Which BTW is on YouTube if anyone's interested. I loved it. I love trivia style shows.

It takes foresight to see how the world is changing and it takes talent to pivot to a new act without alienating your audience. So many of Kimmel and Burr’s contemporaries lucked into success by being the right persona at the right time. They can’t pivot and they know it. Same goes for tech leaders

I love the Elephant Graveyard YouTube videos of less talented comics that need to pander to make a buck.

They just grew up. ;). Most do, unless encouraged by the dollars or reinforcement to remain adolescent

Bill Burr grew up?

Yeah, all the ppl on this app who could only blather about The Man Show were somehow so proud in their ignorance and bias.

I think Bill marrying a black woman and having children was probably part of it

That’s the lesson.

Same with Jimmy and Adam Carolla! Probably still buddies, but one with an order of magnitude greater reach, the other a right leaning weirdo.

Well said!

Seth Rogan has said similar things too. Basically that if you want to be funny, you need to change with the times, not complain that a joke you made 20 years ago didn't age well

The lost comedy about Ea-nāṣir and the copper merchant.

. . . and then Bill Burr took money from the terror state behind 9/11 and the torture and murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. This expelled student journalist will never forget what #BonesawBill did

same for Marc Maron

Bill Burr not defensive?

You can put Howard Stern in the same cohort.

For evidence of this, see: Adam Corolla.

god what a wreck dat guy turned out 2b

Never saw it, but it was so long ago. I was pretty shocked at all of the hot takes by ppl who hadn’t seen or thought of Kimmel since then.

Yeah, he and Corolla really epitomize “two paths diverged.”

I actually hated him *more* than Corolla back then 😅

Exactly - good comedians evolve their material for the time.

This is hilarious.

Jimmy defended free speech when they came for him personally. When they came for the LA students peacefully protesting genocide - his neighbours? Not a peep.

Agree! Seth Meyers and John Oliver have also rejected the “cancel culture” “we can’t joke anymore” BS and end up being more relevant

Exactly this!! Did not have Man Show host evolving into spokesman for anti-fascism on my bingo card, but what a great character arc!

Patton Oswalt too, imho
