Why don't IG comedians get sitcoms?

[Billie Jean]

They do IG content for a decade and maybe a shytty movie they're not skilled for.

Ain't getting on a sitcom one of the best routes to get established and getting experience?

Nearly all 80s/90s comedians had a show down the line (Martin,Bernie Mac,Damon Wayans,Eddie Griffin etc). I get times have changed but even vets like Mike Epps stay on tv

The money is better outside of sitcoms and they have more creative control. Bobby Lee gets clowned all the millennials and genZers about him constantly looking for approve from corporate instead of doing his own thing.

because a sitcom is 20 minutes and a skit is 30 seconds to a couple minutes. you got to have some kind of acting skills to carry a whole show.

i'm guessing it has been tried before and they probably don't have the talent/appeal/whatever for a whole show.

This. Anyone can come up with a few seconds long script that's funny. But having to be funny for half an hour combined with acting skills is totally different.
