Never in my life have I ever met a comedian so desperate to be the center of attention. And I worked the stand up circuit in Toronto. Every single thing that happens in the world this man has to try and somehow connect back to himself.
So Kanye comes out as a Nazi and Steve's first reaction is just to make it about himself for 3 minutes. To talk about how this impacts him and his own life. Frankly I thought that was scumbaggy enough, trying to inject himself into conversation. But this was only made worse when I loaded up the 33 & West website and saw 16 comedians. So he's using information he didn't bother to verify and just assumed, right?
Wrong. Look at the description.
This video was made a year ago but reuploaded today.
He made this stand a year ago and now has no way to make the stand again so he just reuploaded the exact same video. He has literally no way to make this about himself other than to say "Look what I did a year ago!" But he does it anyway. This is a desperate man who cannot handle people not talking about himself. Every single thing that happens he has to find a way to divert it back to himself to stay relevant.
The reason he went so long in his career without an agency is because he isn't good at his job. It's the exact same reason he has to do this underhanded and scumbaggy behavior.
Seems like someone making a principled stand to me. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I mean, isn't this exactly about him, his agency, and who they represent?
I give zero shits about this comedian, but the choice to criticize at this moment? Seems weird.
Here's the problem though. This stand was made a year ago. He broke off from his agency a year ago. None of this is new information, that's why the info in the video was outdated. He reuploaded it yesterday specifically because of the Kanye news but nothing new was added into the video.
Is that still a principled stand? Or is it exactly what I said, with one dude trying to make himself relevant to daily news.
