Is this a look now? Garret on Love is Blind DC has the same hairstyle. I hate it.

I've never thought he was funny. He's so smarmy and smug acting. One of his jokes was how everyone in his life including daughter, little boy, and wife, is short. I did not see anything humorous about that. It's just an observation, like having brown or blonde hair. I also thought it was weird that he was out there holding a microphone. They don't usually do that with the host.

And I really have to side eye how he left the ex-wife and just ignored the mental health problems. Of course he is not responsible for all of her problems, but he has showed zero compassion.


Of course you don't have to find him funny but I appreciate that, then and now, his humor is of the self-deprecating kind and slice-of-life. There's no meanness to his humor (unless you find complaining about being tall among not-tall people mean). His smug act is welcoming, inviting you into his world, rather than being off-putting (and his world has been an absolute mess - addiction, divorce-and-rehab, new wife and new babies- for years), so there's a lot there to deprecate. IMO


I do appreciate that he's relatively clean compared to other comics and that he tries to build on everyday observations. I think the situation with the ex wife is what bothers me the most. He was really proud of his ex-wife, until he suddenly wasn't. I would not be surprised if he gets tired of Munn one day too. Reminds me of Pitt and Jolie.

He looked haggard to me. Maybe the hard living has caught up with him and you can't reverse that. The monologue was unfunny but his skits were okay.

Nate Bargatze is 100% funnier.

He looks and sounds like a closeted gay man going through a mid-life crisis.

A long time ago I thought he was really funny. His material about having a Jewish girlfriend was clever and there was something endearing about him. Flash forward 10 year and he’s done a bunch of sort of unfunny material on addiction and has left his wife. The endearing aspect is just gone. I think his face looks different because he’s older and has gained weight. I’m in the same boat. The hair change is such a change from his formerly clean cut look, though. It’s kind of cheesy.

Yeah, I don't get the appeal.

He's a talentless hack who thinks drugs give him a personality.

Looks like fillers under his eyes definitely and whatever jaw thing men in hollywood do (where Zac Efron went overboard)

Addiction wrecks your body from the inside out. Agree he is not clean. I wish him strength; sobriety is a struggle.

My thought as well. Drives many men into drugs and mental issues.

Sorry for your lost. This is so common with addicts. Especially ones that are functional addicts. My own nephew has issues but you could never tell. He has a great job, dresses and speaks well. It's only when you stay around for awhile when you pick up the signs. The nose touching, constant sniffles, the jaw twitches. Subtle signs that many miss.
