I'm not a fan of hers, but there are way too many instances of "parallel thinking" for this to not be blatant plagiarism on her part and her co-writers. If by some strange miracle she really never heard the early stand up of these comedians, what does that say about her as a comedian and her appreciation for the art form?

^ I honestly can't call it. I wonder, if other popular comedians were put under the scope would we see things like this with them?

Corey Holcomb said it best, there are only a handful of original people in each arena, everybody else just tryna survive

I'll actually welcome names from clean comedians all time and current ones. When it comes to both and being good I draw a blank anyway.
I see Jim Gaffigan was brought up and I like dude as a funny person but don't love all of his stand-up. I really like his show and I wouldn't even consider that clean. It's not straight up cursing and cock jokes but the subject matter isn't always for everybody.
The ep he did about being a clean comedian and then in another world he's dirty was pretty funny

I think Colin Quinn is my favorite comedian. In second is Corey Holcomb.

You could be right, because popular doesn't necessarily mean original or even funny. What sparked this investigation into her material?
Three different female comedians initially came out and accused her of thievery
Kathleen Madigan
Wendy Liebman
Tammy Pescatelli
Then everyone started searching and found other things that she had "stolen"
I still lean more towards the parallel thinking explanation than outright theft because a lot of those jokes were already hack material...particularly the Pescatelli and O'Neal stuff

Bruh, Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn was amazing. Had no clue the greatness I was witnessing.
It was basically 4 comedians sitting around and talking **** the way they do at comedy clubs. I wish they'd bring something like this back in this era.

Watched a few old clips, and the structure of the show was a mess. Colin could barely read the teleprompter.
Young/skinny Louis CK.
I really need to rewatch a lot of this.

For me personally, I would say Jim Gaffigan.
Mitch Hedberg in my Top 10 for sure, but it's too bad he passed away.

I was bored one night and was watching random stand ups on Netflix and came across this dude. He is the complete opposite of every kind of comedian I've ever liked. But bruh, dude is hilarious. Men and one of my Co workers walk around saying hot pockets all day because of dude. I felt like I've been missing out on alot of **** since I was so late, this was like 2 mths ago.I'll actually welcome names from clean comedians all time and current ones. When it comes both and being good I draw a blank anyway.
