Content aside his stand up skills are surprisingly good. Perfect timing and clever audience work.

Do you have any idea how often serious journalists put themselves in danger with their work? Just because you don’t hear about them being attacked, doesn’t mean it’s not happening. They just don’t have YouTube channels with a million followers. And these days it doesn’t take in-depth research to draw the ire of people. It doesn’t take effort to piss off the powerful. Say the wrong thing and you’re a target.
