Dana Carvy is ok. He had a terrible time with medical misadventure as a surgeon did a bypass on the wrong artery. That was 20 years ago.
Most of the comedians today, sole purpose is to ‘out gross’ each other and trash conservative’s. Stopped watching them for the most part.
Yep. It takes zero talent to get on stage and be gross and shocking. Actually being funny with the requisite timing is really tough.
I’ve been watching reruns of the Dick Van Dyke show. Mainly to watch Morey Amsterdam. I knew a vaudeville comedian when I was a kid and this guy could pull a punchline out of thin air. Amsterdam was the same.
I read once that occasionally the script would read “Morey tells jokes, 2 minutes.”
