Some still do impromptu standup, Chappelle and Rock do.
Yep, That’s the way they perfect their material for the specials they roll out. Also, they’re not about to charge top dollar for material they haven’t perfected yet. I listened to a Chris Rock interview where he said some his material (for specials) were terrible during the beginning stages. He said it took a long time to perfect that “Black people and N-word” bit. He was booed while working on that bit before his special.
