Transcript

We have more comedians. People more into comedy. It’s all around us. I mean movies, TV shows, reality shows, that’s some of the best comedy you can find right now. And more and more people are doing it, stand up especially. And I think that we try to find newer now and everything look at the political issues, I mean look at the political comedy that’s a big part of what goes on and late night TV. so we have more of it. We have a lot observed stuff years ago to. I think the style it’s really growing into more of the observational kind of humor. I guess you could say that’s started with Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld or else but that seems to be the style that really is popular right now. Well we all talk about everything going on over the internet nor little bleeps of this and that on You Tube and every where else. There’s, I guess, more collection of bad stuff around than good stuff at this point so I guess the next ten years are going to change then away to. What I do is I really stand ups not I don’t watch the writers with the skits so or like that but the stand ups that I see usually you know I would see tapes, somebody sends to me this and that whatever else so I get to first hand review it before going on to a site to see it. People that I might be interested in and so I means there’s only certain amount of comedy I can watch in day time so.
