Tough Crowd was a good show. The comedians seemed to interact pretty naturally, so you could see how they were off stage.

Tough Crowd was Politically Incorrect without the political correctness.
Loved it, miss it, want it back!!!

I am really glad to see I am not the only Tough Crowd enthusiast.

That's a perfect way of describing it. No smug, self congratulatory looks at the camera... they'd just laugh at why someone had been a public jerk that week, and then move on. Like four guys in a bar, bitching and making fun of life.

Chevy Chase. At times his post-SNL career may have made people forget just how funny he was in the early days. I'm glad Community came along for him.


Looks like I spoke too soon...

Old news. Heard about that weeks ago.

It is weird stuff. Chase comes across as an asshole. Although the creator of the show has been pretty dickish too. From what I hear they are both big personalities and as such they keep butting heads. Because neither of them can really help it.

A lot of comedians are assholes. I had a friend who worked for a hotel in the 90's and he said Denis Leary and Tommy Smothers were the worst guests he ever had to deal with. I guess Bill Cosby had his reasons when he punched Tommy Smothers in the head.
I think Chase is great on Community.Sometimes he's even my favourite character.

I think it's because they have problems dealing with people that makes them do stand-up.

As much as I fondly remember Chevy Chase...

...Dennis Miller is my answer.
