[Bucho]

KATG + Marc Maron = Legendary.

Such a fantastic show.

I love so much Marc Maron that i was somehow afraid to be disappointed. Instead i am floored. Incredible.

[DJ Trashy]

according to Marc Maron, the following are also sell-outs:

Chemda - doing a talk show instead of following her music career
Keith - doing a talk show instead of stand-up
BroLo - doing ads, playing drums instead of working on his solo career

Damn sell-outs!

I know you're not an idiot, why do you write idiotic things? This one does not even make sense...

I get it but it was not what Marc said. He clearly said, clarified and explained that Joe Rogan did a mistake by doing "Fear Factor", a reality show that (in his opinion) is part of the lowering of the american culture. He also added that he thinks that shows like "Fear Factor" are responsible for the overload of crappy reality show, and the death of intelligent and well written sitcoms. So he thinks that Joe, that now preaches culture and intelligence in his latest stand up shows, somehow did something that he perceives as bad as joke-stealing.

As you can see, it's an argument way more complex than what you said. You can disagree, of course, but dont twist his words around to make your point.

Marc Maron is great.

Great show.

Great show, but Marc seems like a bit of a comedy snob - kinda like Jesse Joyce. It's okay to steal jokes, just as long as you only do stand-up, so that exonerates Carlos Mencia, but since Joe Rogan did other stuff as well, he is somehow not on the same level, heh?. Marc was disgusted by Fear Factor, which is fair as it was a horrible show, but to me me he seemed almost equally disgusted by stand-ups who do other stuff (sit-coms, hosting etc.) besides writing or performing in a stand-up capacity.

But what the fuck do I know

Marc is a very opinionated man, and has a smart and caustic way to make his points (Read his book if you havent. It's weird but fascinating).

I'm very divided on the issue of selling out. Yes, most of the time, having a break in a sit-com or a show helps to make money. But when some comedian like David Cross acts in one shitty movie after the other after acting like king of the spiteful snobs for all his stand-up career... Well i can see why some can get in Marc'sline of tought.
