Stand up comedy it killing right now. A lot of these comics are making crazy bread touring, largely in part because they can get their original stuff on YouTube without anyone else telling them to rewrite because it might offend people and people are showing up watching them perform. These guys are selling tickets and getting big deals from streaming platforms.
Jerry's talking about network shows not shows that are behind paywall where they have greater creative freedom.
However Family Guy has been around for 2 decades and that's about as offensive as Married with Children (both GOAT shows
) and both shows are/were on network TV.
