Hey can we all agree to love Louis CK at least?
It's NOT even a matter of opinion.
CK is per se brilliant.
As for my beef with Morgan, I couldn't care less if he has heroin and meth fueled orgies on his own time, BUT with that said:
(1) He was paid about $30,000 for ONE WEEK of shows - middle-class couples saved up to spend $150-ish (including the drink minimums) to watching him do his thing.
When you're lucky enough to get paid that kind of money to tell fucking jokes, it's your ETHICAL OBLIGATION to show up EVERY FUCKING SHOW, ready to KILL.
He gladly cashed their check, but got so hammered before the show that he was speaking incoherently and actually fell asleep on the stage!
I was there.
I saw it happen.
I, for one, enjoy my chemicals, but I know not to so much as smoke a joint, let alone down ten drinks, just before a gig where people are investing their time and energy so that I can entertain them, and I don't exactly pull in $30,000 a WEEK (yet).
(2) Just my opinion, he's just NOT funny.
Charismatic?
Perhaps.
Good actor?
Absolutely.
Funny?
Not really, in my opinion - certainly not at stand-up.
