Every single one of those individuals could afford to take me out to a great dinner at this Bistro in my town. Drinks & everything. Footing the bill would be insignificant. Unless they have crippling gambling debts and are on a serious allowance I have no problem being treated. And yes I am trying to spin this weirdness and get back to what I feel is critical at this point. And that payback could be take a fan out dinner and get asked a bunch of questions you don’t feel like answering. A little gratitude, would be a bit much to ask? Perhaps give back a small amount of your time to those that have 👍’d your videos on YouTube? F me. I’ll see myself out.
Jim Jefferies is not in the program. I think he was invited, accepted but was later dropped. Still, for me that's the only disappointment. I don't know or care for all the rest but I liked Jefferies and I thought he had some good takes and interesting things to say. I think in the end all of them just get old and lose focus. Expect Carlin. He was sharp till the very end.
That’s like everyone
John mulaney didn't go at least
He was too high. Or they didn't invite him at all, idk.
There's a few who were invited and turned them down. Mike Birbiglia was the most notable to me, but I'm also familiar with Shane Gillis, Michelle Wolf, and Stavros Halkias. Atsuko Okatsuka, Toni Nagy, Leslie Liao, Nimesh Patel, and Tim Dillon have also announced they turned down the offer, but I don't think I've ever seen their shows.
Stavy turned it down? Nice
Thanks, knowing who turned it down is as important as knowing who accepted. I'm a big fan of Birbiglia and Michelle Wolf, so I'm glad they had the integrity to pass.
Tim Dillon did accept it, they canceled his spot when he accidentally/mistakenly advertised he would be in Abu Dhabi and they got offended.
Jesus Christ, he just pulled the most heinous shit out of his ass. His quotes were legitimately monstrous, truly inexcusable. To sum it up, he can get over EVERYTHING, as long as he's being paid enough. No morals, no real beliefs. Is he even a person? Are people like that even really people? I would argue that they're not. There is no point to Tim Dillon.
Tim Dillon took the offer but pulled some Tim Dillon shit on his podcast and was asked not to participate. He got a few bucks anyhow and per his own words, was forced into the bosoms of Iran now.
I used to know some Iranian women during my clubbing days. There are far worse fates. Also, there traditional method of avoiding pregnancy was quite charming and congenial.
Okay I'm curious now. Anal?
Nimesh Patel is decently funny. I was disappointed when I heard that he accepted to go, glad he cancelled.
No Brian Posehn. \m/
I can still watch Kyle Kinane, thankfully.
There's always the random ones that you find on Youtube. The Taylor Tomlinsons and Gianmarco Soresis.
Yes, the random Taylor Tomlinson who hosted After Midnight for two seasons.
Not that a Netflix special is that special, but TT has 3 Netflix specials, and I think all of them were recorded before @fter Midnight.
Yeah, well, I didn't say that they were nobodies. I just randomly found both of them on Youtube. I don't watch tv lol
What the fuck Hannibal, you quit the Eric Andre Show and are now pulling this shit?
Dude, Hannibal is a fucking landlord and has actively spoken out against Rent Control. He is objectively a piece of shit.
fuckin wack
This is how I know I've not cared for the comedy scene for a while because, to me, that list is so unnoteworthy. I know or have seen clips of some of them but I've always thought they're kinda mid to low tier.
Also promote the person that was meant to go, but Saudi Arabia wouldn't let him, though since the payment also had a good down payment, he got paid and didn't go. Tim Dillon. Also, he's a self described "cock-gobbling f-slur" so I'm not even sure how they accepted him in the first place.
