While some of his material is reheated, what comics are 100% new material with each new tour? It seems it is largely Millennials that call him a hack and his bit, garbage. It's my contention that Millennials feel entitled to constantly assail the culture and accomplishments of their parent's generation. So right out of the gate there's a tendency to transfer any resentments or grudges they still have with their mommies and daddies to anyone belonging to THEIR generation. Never stopped me from treasuring George Carlin, Jackie Mason, Rodney Dangerfield, Mel Brooks, etc. There is always the "go-to" subjects that are common to all comedians of a certain generation. Probably why I don't find young comics that spend a whole set eviscerating Republicans, Christians and anyone else over 40, the least bit comical. I appreciate a comic that can transcend the cheap laugh and easy target and go for a more intellectually savvy and honest audience...not a bunch of whining cry-baby "Truck Fump" puss-wads.
