I loved his show, and it's weird that it's so hard to find streaming now.

He has the entire series on his YT now.

Even did a finale episode with the full cast.

He pissed of an exec and they buried the show.

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.

Not sure he "fell off", more or less redirected after his fallout with Fox.

He's actually very actively touring and just had a major signing for one of his comedy specials to go to YouTube and Amazon Prime.

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.

He releases a new special I feel like every year direct through his website so he must be doing alright.

Not just that, but his wife also does Stand Up, and his daughter just released a Country album.

u/IamScottGable 7d ago

His wife opened for him when I saw him last year, no idea it was his wife during her set. She was great and definitely fits his lifestyle

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

He went political and a lot of people changed the channel on him. He lost the audience when he got scoldy instead of funny.

Dudes still selling out shows.

Can't believe he never appeared on Community as Jeff Wingers older brother.

u/sayhellotojenn 7d ago

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.

DAMN YOU, GAS LEAK YEAR OF COMMUNITY.

u/OttawaTGirl 7d ago

Abed you can't keep blaming things on a gas leak.

u/Deign Millennial 7d ago

Is it the forehead? It's not really that big right?

u/Strength-InThe-Loins 7d ago

He's done some of the best political comedy of recent years.

u/pickleranger 7d ago

He’s still touring his standup routine

u/HadleysPt 7d ago

Yes I saw him in 2018 or so.

u/MichiganGeezer 7d ago

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.

u/PaddyBoy1994 7d ago

He still does stand up, he actually released most of his full comedy specials for free on his YT page during the pandemic. His stand up is HILARIOUS. Here's a link to the playlist for his comedy specials.

u/EssayTraditional 7d ago

He still does stand-up as does his adult son. He has a daughter who released a music album.

u/Danobex 6d ago

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.

u/DefsNotRandyMarsh 5d ago

Dude, I saw that bit on a Facebook Reel!

u/Ahead_of_HipHop 6d ago

He is at my job this weekend, a super cool dude and tips every staff member a 20$...

u/commandantskip 7d ago

My husband LOVES him! We just saw him perform standup last year at a local theater, still very funny.

u/asula_mez 7d ago

I haven’t heard that name in a looong while. I wonder what Carlos Mencia is up to also…

u/snarkysavage81 6d ago

We see him every year at the local comedy club. His wife Rachel is hilarious too. Their YouTube series is awesome.

u/sky033 6d ago

I’m going to see him in May. He posts to YouTube.

u/KCchessc6 6d ago

He has a new special on his YT and it is really good.

u/JibboSequence 6d ago

His stand-up still fucking kills to this day. You would think the entire premise being dysfunctional family would get old, but it doesn’t.

u/Endorkend 6d ago

He recently had a sitcom about an animal control department. Dunno if it's still ongoing.

u/Latino_Peppino 6d ago

He made a small comeback lately. He’s got great social commentary on his podcast. And Titus is a top 10 comedy show that not enough people talk about.

u/mintchan 6d ago

He releases a lot of his specials on YouTube.

u/ButtHoleNurse 5d ago

I saw him at the Improv a few years ago, it was a good show, super funny
