    I personally loved his Getting Coffee series. Honestly, I just like watching him talk about his craft and talking w/ other comedians. I honestly think he could have kept that show going for as long as he felt up to the task and I would have watched.

    I do think things like Twitter and being terminally online and trying to “get” people by recording them and starting a tempest in a teapot is very obnoxious. It’s like next-level heckling and I guess I understand why some comedians are kind of done with that. The thing about comedy is that they’ve always talked about “finding the line” with a given audience. It’s supposed to be a bit transgressive and so, yes, some will get offended, but now people seem to go out of their way to be offended by a set they didn’t even attend…
