Watching his latest special on Comedy Central.

After seeing like 3 or 4 of his specials, I have to ask. Does he ever get new material? Every special is pretty much the same. The slight differences aren't even worth mentioning.

I know plenty of comedians use older material whenever they do a new tv special, but using over 95 percent every time?

The info my TV gave was for 2008, but I looked it up and he did actually perform that in 2006.

That still doesn't change the fact that all of his tv specials have been extremely similar to one another.

Saw him in Vegas in July. Funny stuff but very few bits were new.

not sure when exactly that one was performed, but it's way older than 2006. CC has been showing it for years.

I know I'm probably being leveled or something, but just in case

if that's referring to the same CC special (he has 2 or 3) the date is wrong. i first saw that one at least 5 years ago.

Shit like 80 or something. He's a funny guy but very little in the way of new material. I know ticket prices are inflated in Vegas but I still felt kind of ripped off.
