And I know it takes serious balls to do stand-up, because I've done it a few times and succeeded. But I'd never compromise myself creatively to become rich. I'd hate myself for it.
I'll take your word that Cook stole. But Larry's act is a schtick. You can't steal schtick I don't think. You might call him a hack, but he earned what he got. I'm not saying his act is inventive, original, or even funny. But unless he's stealing material, I'll give him credit for getting what he's got. He's there to make people laugh, and some people like it.
