This is one of the strongest specials I've seen. he has some serious hard hitters that take rough topics and make a killer joke out of it. He has 6 to 7 seven jokes on the same topics yet never seems to overstay on a topic. He has some well threaded topics that would be hack in another comedians set but builds them into actually making a point on them.
Seriously stellar work. This blows so many specials on Netflix out of the water it's an absolute outrage that he isn't on there.
I was blown away that none of the streaming services would buy this! It’s insane. Maybe he was telling the truth when he said they don’t need another straight white male, I honestly can’t see any other reason.
Probably a combination of: it's not new material for him, none of it is really groundbreaking subject matter that they would take a big chance on, his following is relatively small so there's a lot of competition at that level, he's not super tight with a lot of big comedians so he doesn't get that boost (I think Ari Shafir benefits a lot from this, though I do like him), he doesn't have any sort of big project coming up to generate a lot of buzz. And yes, there is definitely a degree of "oh he's just another acerbic straight white male, we have plenty of those on the lineup already, let's try somebody with a different audience demo," without recognizing the canyons of difference between many of those acerbic straight white guys.
To be clear: I think this special was incredible, I'm just spitballing potential explanations for why Netflix didn't go for it.
