There we go!

I would have:

1. Katt - best opener, so he can tell us how glad he is to be in our beautiful, historic, ugly city
and see who all is here tonight

2. Patrice - so he could get philosophical about chit, and run all the hecklers out

3. Chris Rock - he always has material about what’s going on at the moment
Yeah why ain't Patrice on this list?

Did Aries make this list wtf :why:

That's the curse of all comedians. Over time they start wanting to become less self deprecating, less silly, and more serious. Because they want their flowers after a certain point, and don't just want to be seen as a clown im guessing. Murphy even changed how he laughs because people found it funny
Good observation, I saw this, but I never consciously realized it. Damn near EVERY comedian goes through this arc...kinda sad actually.

For people that make jokes at everyone, everything, on every occasion (and I shoot them bail on almost everything) they start to really get thin-skinned once they get that third or fourth HBO or Netflix special.

Interesting take. I think being the clown gets old after a while. You as a man always want to be taken seriously first. Paul Mooney got his jokes off but always kept a political element as well so he wasn’t seen as just a clown.

Mooney is the funniest to me.

Me and my lady watch his material even when it’s bedtime
