Are any of you other (LOL) old farts familiar with this guy?  He's a "new" generation comedian whom I believe has a chance to walk in the footsteps of guys like George Carlin and Steven Martin.

My belief is NOT based on style, which I suspect will be off-putting to some of you, but rather on my sense that he is a hard worker (an opinion based on almost nothing other than a gut feeling) and very talented.

He began as a YouTube "success" but has now done at least three videos which are currently available on Netflix.  Just interested in hearing how your view his form of entertainment and your estimation of his prospects.

Greg: As a comedian, I think he is intentionally exploring all the subjects which some people seek to make "off-limits." 

To me, that means he'll sometimes poke fun of the "woke" crowd. 

At other times, he may poke fun of the people who poke fun of the "woke" crowd (if you see what I mean).
