The Hall: Honoring the Greats of Stand-Up

Part of the Netflix is a Joke series, a group of contemporary hosts and comedians introduce the four deceased comedians being inducted into the comedy hall of fame. Hosted by pete davidson, of snl fame. Lots of swearing. Especially during the george carlin part. Jon stewart talks about the career of george carlin. Talks about carlin's genuine concern for how society looks at words, and the fact that we were really scared of those seven words. John mulaney describes robin williams' energy and total dedication to his comedy. And amazing film career. Chelsea handler introduces the hardest working lady to ever work in show biz joan rivers. Glad to hear the correct use of the word homage. Bob ross does a hilarious tribute to gilbert gottfried, louie anderson, norm macdonald, and bob saget. Dave chappelle talks about the film and comedy career of richard pryor, another hard working guy. It's funny! And touching. I'm really surprised at the lowish rating, as of today. There is a lot of swearing, so may offend some, i guess. Directed by marty callner.

Why in all the effing effs would you have Pete effing Davidson start off what should be a classy show honoring such trailblazing and brilliant comedians?! Absolutely one of the worst decisions ever made in the history of Netflix. Fast fwd to John Stewart and enjoy the show. Someone needs to lose their effing job for choosing Davidson.

On another note, the DJ MC was an annoying choice for this event and brought down the thoughtful tributes to these legends to a 90s MTV half-hour special level.

Garbage production but worthy attention for the nominees who will never go out of style.

This induction is really special for several reasons: I'm glad that Jon Stewart got to talk Carlin because that is always a joy to witness- I'm glad John Mulaney promoted and encouraged the same love and happiness that Robin Williams' comedy was wrought with- Chelsea Handler speaking truth and not making me roll my eyes was new for me and I enjoyed it very much, and I have never been happier to see Chappelle on stage surmising a man of true importance. If you love comedy and the history of comedy like I do, this is a treat. If you love seeing honest people lay down their pride in honor of the great figures that paved the way, then this is it. If you love Pete Davidson, well then maybe you'll like this special even more than I did.

This is the premiere ceremony of the induction ceremony for the new Comedy Hall of Fame. The first class includes George Carlin, Joan Rivers, Richard Pryor, and Robin Williams. This Netflix special involves comedians like Jon Stewart, Pete Davidson, Chelsea Handler, Dave Chapelle, and John Mulaney paying tribute to these great artists. There are some interesting perspectives but the historical footage and clips are the best part. Good choice in these four but it is almost a no brainer.

A bunch of unfunny washed up comedians honoring four of the legends.

Why they got unfunny John Stewart to induct the great George Carlin is beyong me. He cant touch the genius of Carlin.

The host Pete Davidson is already yesterday's news and today's fish and chips paper.

John Mulanny -- who??? -- comes out in a powder blue suit that doesnt fit introducing Robin Williams. You beg God to bring on the clips because it's so hard to listen to this guy.

Then completely untalented Chelsea Handler does Joan Rivers. She can't hold a candle to her either. The woman is a not funny.

Jeff Ross comes out to tell us who else has died. He's got to be one of the last borst belt comics.

The Chappelle comes out to introduce Rihard Pryor. Again while Chappelle may be rosey right now, he cant hold a candle to Pryor.

I was pretty bored throughout except for the comedian clips.
