The latest Sarah Silverman Netflix special is sort of annoying. She does an impression of her dad so frequently, she doesn’t fully drop it when trying to speak normally. It bugged me.

I've been seeing a lot of Greer Barnes clips in my travels. Dude is hilarious. Great timing and delivery.

I love him on Curb so I wouldn’t go. If he was a good stand up at this stage of his career, you’d know. I wouldn’t want to see him be a hack. The memory of that would ruin all future viewings of Curb.

If Wease has seen him, he knows more than me. I saw a clip where he talked about breaking a massage table because he’s fat, farting as he fell, and covering his “weiner” before the masseuse came in to investigate. Some pretty lowest common denominator shit, imo.

Don't tell daft about that other stuff, it'll ruin Curb for him. Stay innocent, daft

I've tried looking up that "stuff" multiple times and can never find any details of what he actually did

I just saw him this weekend. I've seen him prob 5 times? He was the worst this time. But if you've never seen him, def go. He has no act. He just bullshits with the audience. This time, it was pretty boring. He was just trying to impress his girlfriend. But the other times, he was hilarious.

Woof!
I had this special from Jon Richardson named "Nidiot" on an external hard drive that went bad.
It was one of my favorites from that time, thanks for the reminder Peeps!
I miss that hard drive.

I’m not looking it up. I love Curb too much. We’re certain we’re not just confusing him with Weinstein, though? He’s a dead ringer. Curb addressed this.

Just saw Louis CK. He was great, as always. I think he’s the best to ever do it.

The pleasant surprise of the evening was Jim Norton was his opener. I doubt I’ve seen him since Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. That was a lifetime ago when I could stay up until midnight and still go to work in the morning. This is the third big (in the comedy world) opener I’ve seen in recent years - Mario Joyner for Seinfeld and Mark Normand for Gillis being the others.

The anniversary of Norm MacDonald’s passing was a couple of weeks ago. Totally missed it. Dammit. Still miss him.
