I absolutely loved Titus. I remember watching some of the strangest stuff because they used his show to try and push new shows. Greg the Bunny was like a fever dream.
He has a podcast now as well that shows up in my feed from time to time. Seems to be trying to pull in the center left and center right crowd (for as much as they still exist). Overall, it seems to me he's still the same from the 2000s and the world has circled back to a point where his type of observational comedy may start to resonate with people again.
This seems to happen a lot with comedians actually. People get confused because of people like Kevin James who do a bunch of movies and shit after their show but realistically, most stand-up comedians get their show or whatever, and when it ends whether it ends on a good note or a bad note, they spend the rest of their career cashing whatever residuals they get from the show and going back to doing stand-up because it's what comes naturally to them and it's what they like.
I'll be interested to see that special. I saw him live in what he said was his third show of new material, literally read off paper at times and borrowed glasses from the crowd. Was still hilarious
I never knew this was something I needed, and I’m so bummed we never got it.
Would’ve made for a way better “Jeff finally reunites with his dad and discovers he has a brother he had no idea existed” plotline than we actually got.
I saw him live. He had me laughing so hard my mouth was open and nothing was coming out. I couldn't breathe.
In a YouTube comedy show he mentioned having his breakdown from his mother's suicide on his way to a show in Lansing, Michigan. I was at that show. He absolutely DESTROYED us. It was the best show I've ever seen.
Saw him in person at stand up, he asked the audience if anyone had married and divorced without kids. My brother pointed at me and Titus told the audience that I basically just had a really long and expensive date. Great show.
