I was not familiar with Drew prior to this, but saw the promos and tuned in. Not knowing what to expect, my expectations were low. This was such an
epic blend of brutal honesty, hilarity and syndrome analysis, all contained in an effectively delivered, revelatory way. I'm so relieved to hear someone say
these things out loud, in a spotlight as bright as an HBO special. I loved his
disgust fueled rant on sycophantic suck up Jimmy Fallon, Every word of his
observations on wealth, celebrity and fake sincerity about exposure to and a connection with the rest of us, from inside the moat, was divine. This was
not yuk yuk comedy, but somehow, these deeply personal confessions were
woven into a simultaneously thought provoking and very funny performance.
I can't refer to it as an "act". It was unlike anything I have ever seen, and I
will watch for anything new from him as I seek and search for all he has done before. He won't be on The Tonight Show, but I don't watch and can't
stomach Fallon, the effusive fountain of fawning flattery and fake infatuation.
What a wonderful hour spent with Mr. Michael. Painful at times, enlightening beyond belief, laughs galore, and long overdue truths said in a highly public place. I needed that. This was something other than just comedy. More of it, please. Drew ? Series ? Weekly show ? Become a rich celebrity, with a solid
loving relationship and a family ? Could you cope with that ?
