Tom Papa, Judy Gold, Joe DeRosa, Esther Ku, Iliza Schlesinger, Colin Kane, Chris Distefano, Bob Levy, Ralphie May, Jim Breuer, Pablo Francisco, Mike Birbiglia, Kirk Fox, and Gabriel Iglesias.
he was pathetic on stern. he attached himself to wackpackers and made them part of his comedy shows just so he could call in and plug his hotel basement gigs. he went off on stern for asking why they were plugging his shit gigs every week, threatened people, and got banned from the building. when he was in tight with Stern he called out Pat Cooper for doing O&A and Cooper lost it on him.
then he shows up on O&A and immediately starts trying to attach himself to BoBo and Lady Di. He's a hack and a loser.
Watch Colin's stern interview when he was talking about Levy booking gigs with wack packers. He said he was driving to a gig with Levy and he had to hear him making deals on the phone for like an 8 hour drive, he didn't shut up the whole time, and it was just Bob booking these wack pack meet n greet/comedy shows like "you can have Elephant boy and Greg Fitzsimmons", "Blue Iris and Brian Regan". He said Bob is like Dr. Doolittle with the wack packers, and he also heard Bob trying to play "hardball businessman" on the phone going "listen to me: I'm not fuckin Mary Popkins". Like he literally thought the name was Mary Popkins.
That was, of course, until Bob threatened to kill Howard on his fuckin 10 viewer video podcast and had the FBI show up at his door. Since then he's turned his back on Beetlejuice Et al and now does off off Broadway dinner theater, like those shows where the "actors" interact with the audience like Tony and Tina's Wedding. So that's Bob's career/life.
The best thing that could've happened for OnA and it's fans was that Howard banned Levy from the building. Otherwise, he would've guilted Jimmy in to having him on the show once a month.
He didn't just "go off" on Stern, he ("jokingly", according to Bob) threatened to kill Howard on his internet video show that he does for an audience of like 10 people literally. Stern called the cops and the FBI showed up at Bob's door. He recounted this story on O&A at least once. That's why Bob's banned from the SXM building. He lost a show on Howard's channel, weekly plugs for his gigs, free airtime to promote his blue cheese stained comedy club, etc. He threw that away cuz he wasn't happy with 1 plug a week. Brilliant businessman, Bob Levy.
They agreed to plug his gigs every week in lieu of payment. One day stern happened to listen to his own channel and thought a plug on his show was too much payment.
he gave Levy his own show on the Sirius channel. He allowed Levy into the studio more than any other comedian as a guest. He let Levy host the show's Roasts. He gave Bob his own show on the Howard TV network. All that and he still couldn't sell 200 tickets by himself.
the traveling "hack pack" used to be Artie, Yucko, Shuli, Sal, Richard, and various wack packers. At some point Artie got sick of traveling with these idiots and left. Then Sal and Richard realized they were splitting money with people no one was coming to see and left to do their own shows. This left Levy, Shuli, Yucko, and Beetlejuice playing hotel lobbies. Howard was probably sick of promoting 3 comedy tours when one wasn't even a "show" tour.
He may be the shittiest comedian ever. Listen to some of the roasts that Stern would do when he came over to Sirius. They used to get DiPalo and Colin to be on and Levy was the roastmaster for all of them. He had the hackiest jokes ever.
yeah, calling Lady Di a man was funny THE FIRST TIME. Then he kept calling up and saying it over and over. It was hilarious when he was making fun of Lady Di one time, and Marion told him that he fucking sucks.
Levy was the Vos of the Stern show. When he was on they mostly made fun of his hackiness and constant mispronouncing of words. Live he does do great crowd-work, but it's been the same act for over 20 years.
Tom Papa and Mike Birbiglia aren't shitty enough to be called out. Esther Ku and Iliza Schlesinger are unbearable. They would never call out hot chicks.
I think he's worse than Birbiglia, but even if you think Birbiglia's actually a worse comic, Papa's sheer number of appearances ESPECIALLY last year put him way over the edge. I was so fucking happy when he announced he was moving to L.A. Another shitty comic to Los Angeles, another grain of sand on the lamest possible beach.
But the day after he announced that, he was right back on the show. God damn. He is the real reason people who say offensive shit shouldn't lose their gigs; because then they're replaced by inoffensive nobodies who aren't good at their job, they just don't bother any groups with their content.
that is some Panzering right there.I think you missed Sherrod Small, Jim Florentine, Vic Henly and maybe a few more. I realize that there are some that like them and they are not slam dunk picks in the way that Esther Ku and Colin Kane are.
Without even clicking the link I'm going to guess it's the one where he's completely destroyed by Vos. I agree, it was a great show, and showed how awful he is.
Vos didn't destroy anyone. Vos only confirmed on that show he is a needy fuck, who expects comics to kiss his ass, because he is in his 50s and thinks he deserves some respect for longevity. Then Vos got trashed by a wrestler and fat fuck Roland.
Alright, hold your horses. I agree with many, but cmon: Jim Bruer? Also, if you ever get to see Kirk's stand up, if you're ever at the Comedy Store or something, I garuntee you he will turn you around. He is one of the funniest fuckers working right now, and one of the most original & unique senses of humor/jokes I can think of. He's weirdly "off" on interview stuff and podcasts, which is why he rarely does em. But his stand up is killer, I "put my NAME on it." Im a man, or a WOMAN, I put m'name on it!
Just about every comic they have in studio these days is not only given too much rope, but they're invited on over and over again. It's really such a shame, too. The days of A+ talent like Patrice, Colin, Bob Kelly, Burr, Louis CK, even Vos, just seem like so long ago.
Colin and Patrice are on a higher level of radio talent than the rest of the list. Louis CK may be a better standup act than Colin is or Patrice was but they were outstanding on O&A.
Every comedian (besides his friend DeRosa) must hate Colin Kane. I see other comedians going after him on Twitter, or they used to. He is constantly tweeting people and telling them to come to his shows and he'll give them 10 free tickets and he does this for like every show. I guess if he gets paid up front and there's a 2 drink minimum, the club doesn't care. He is awful, though.
He was unbelievably terrible. Every joke he made was a complete bomb. Nobody called him out on it, so it was pretty uncomfortable to listen to. Some time later Danny mentioned Colin Kane not being funny and they acknowledged his horrible appearance.
Gervais. I love The office but he has been awful for the last 5 years and they would probably shit on him if he didn't keep coming in and saying he loves the show.
he gave Levy his own show on the Sirius channel. He allowed Levy into the studio more than any other comedian as a guest. He let Levy host the show's Roasts. He gave Bob his own show on the Howard TV network. All that and he still couldn't sell 200 tickets by himself.
