ENDLESSLY repetitive

The whole Carson bit (half!) would have been funny if he did a 3 minute routine with it (and the first few minutes WERE funny), but then he essentially told the same joke in 40 slightly different versions. I had to skip about 20 minutes!

The Cosby part was also stretched out about 10 minutes too long as well.

And I thought I would vomit if he said the "P" word one more time. More skipping.

But he finally got back on track with the eating toys part, which was really funny.

Give me "Delirious" any day. That one is hilarious!

totally agree! i have the same beef(s) with this one and i've always been partial to "delirious" / "comedian" (still have that one on vinyl!).

"He must've thought it was white boy day. It ain't white boy day, is it?"

Agreed. His routine needed a lot of editing. Love him in the movies, standup not so much.
