Comedians are thinkers. The best ones are akin to philosophers, in my opinion.

Louis CK went from a writer/comedian to winning Emmys for his own show because he works his ass off.

Sometimes crowds start out not liking someone but then they shift and love them. Or vice versa. It can shift on a dime.

Comedians can articulate some important and profound ideas that address a lot of the hypocrisy we're inundated with (in the media).

Certainly, you want to be liked, but as you gain confidence and experience you're more concerned with expressing yourself and what matters to you.

Chris Rock went from a guy whose name you knew from SNL to a legendary comedian by working his ass off.

Like once we picked Jim Norton as the head of security, the writing flows pretty easily.
