it takes an edge to be big in entertainment. you have to be something different. and again, although his act is nothing new, per se, he does make alot of good points, he brings up alot of funny truths, and the generalizations he makes aren't usually so far off.
its he 100%? no way. I still think chapelle is better at the whole thing.
but he's the only one right now, or at least the biggest name still active.
being rich & successful != talent.
getting lucky and finding your niche != talent.
you can find plenty of examples of this beyond carlos menstealia in hollywood nowadays.
menstealia aka ned holness lucked out because comedy central was reeling from the loss of chappelle and they needed someone the void. chappelle's fans needed someone to fill the void too, and when menstealia was shoved down their throats, they ate it up.
so again, he lucked out. he was in the right place at the right time.
one more time, this does not equal talent. it's just a pity that people keep watching that thief and giving him props when he doesn't deserve any. they're just feeding the beast.
