Hey, I don’t judge her. I do too.

See what I mean in Punchline’s interview with her.

Monet shot:

Do you think the contemporary comedy scene is in a good place?

It’s been pretty consistent. There’s always stand-up that’s less to my taste and stand-up that’s more to my taste like Patton and Zach. There’s always going to be great comics like that. Then there’s going to be more successful comedians where I don’t understand their popularity. Dane Cook is an example of that. I sort of don’t understand where all the enthusiasm for his material comes from. But there’s always been people like that: hugely popular, but it just doesn’t appeal to my taste.

Comedy is pretty subjective that way. But I think comedy is always in a good and a bad place. I just think that’s the nature of any entertainment. There’s always going to be entertainment that’s popular and good and then there’s always going to be entertainment that’s popular and mediocre at best.
