It's Early Access day and this is a video that's been... nearly 3 years in the making. I keep a document with a list of topics that I may eventually do, some (a lot) just never get done and get moved to another document called "Rejected Ideas", while some stay in my main document while I wait for something more current to happen. In this case, I had a line written that just said "Why do so many Comedians get caught being creepy? I have a theory..." along with a few comedians' names. It's been in that document basically since I came back from my hiatus over 2 and a half years ago, and a couple weeks ago a story came out that finally gave me the push I wanted to do this topic, and clear it from my to-do list. So, enjoy this video that's effectively lived in my head now for nearly 3 years!
The recent story that Dane Cook got engaged to a girl he met when he was in his 40s and she was 17 (or possibly younger) has reminded your ol' pal Buckley of 5 other pretty high profile stand up comedians who have either been accused of creepy behavior or have flat out admitted to it or been convicted because of it. We look at Louis CK, Chris D'Elia, Aziz Ansari, Bill Cosby, and Jerry Seinfeld and wonder "what's the deal with Comedians being weirdos!?" Buckley has a couple theories, as well as an idea for a new show!
