But as far as being popular, yeah, I think Dave Barry is really funny.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's not good for comedy to be like, 'Thanks for liking me.' Being popular is poison.
Barry seems to be more flamboyant merely because he gets more interviews to talk about it.
I think humor is important for all of us, and a great comedian is a great treasure.
We see less of Dave, certainly, and he's kind of fallen out of the sphere of our group, mostly because he's working on his show, and has kind of lost the fun of the party.
There's a lot of Dave mania when I speak.
I do notice a lot of people who want to shock to get laughs. It's such a tricky thing; you don't want to make rules about it. There's nobody more hilarious than Dave Attell, and he'd break every rule you set up. But he's funny.
Barry White seemed so filled with self-parody at first that it was easy to dismiss him. But it is becoming increasingly obvious with every additional release that he is a very talented man.
Popular in our time, unpopular in his. So runs the stereotype of rejected genius.
I've always been a fan of a Johnny Carson because he was so great with an audience and not afraid of self-deprecating humor.
Barry is an incredible singer. He's even gotten better through the years.
