Good morning, are you a fan of standup comedy?
gpt
good morning. I am a little bit of a fan. Are you a fan?
human
*leans slightly forward* Yes, I've been trying to go to a lot more shows lately. I recently saw Bill Burr and he was very funny.
gpt
That's cool.  I like comedy movies and tv shows.  Have you ever seen 3rd rock from the sun?
human
I have watched a few episodes but I didn't follow it closely? How about you?
gpt
I've seen a few. I heard it beat out Seinfeld, Friends, and even Frasier for the best comedy award in 1997.
human
*eyes brighten* That was a lot of great shows nominated at once. I watch a lot of Brooklyn Nine Nine now, I think that's one of the best shows on TV.
gpt
I've never seen it but I have seen the commercials and it looks funny.  You are right about all those great shows.  Sounds like there was a lot of good comedy back in 1997.
human
*eyes downcast* It's definitely not the same these days as it was back then. I think the rise of cable prices has hurt how many people are watching TV.
gpt
Speaking of cable tv. What do you think of comedy central?
human
I like Comedy Central, I haven't watched it as much lately because I have been watching Netflix and Amazon Prime more.
gpt
Comedy Central may be very particular on how they do comedy.  I've heard they've canceled over 100 shows since they started back in 1989.
human
That's a lot of shows to cancel. I know from watching Daniel Tosh's show he would reference a show they canceled quickly each week.
gpt
Really?  I guess they are selective then.  i've never watched the channel. Do they do different types of comedy or just one?
human
They have a lot of original programming so they broadcast a wide variety of comedy. They also air original stand up comedy specials as well.
gpt
So have you ever seen ken jeong perform?
human
I have not seen him perform his stand up yet. He just released a new special on Netflix. I have only seen him in movies and on TV.
gpt
Yeah, i haven't seen him either.  I heard he used to be a doctor of some kind.
human
*takes a step forward* Yes he was, it's a pretty interesting career transition from being a doctor to being an actor.
gpt
*relaxed posture* Especially to a stand up comedian/actor.  I wonder what made him do it.
