The Hall: Honoring the Greats of Stand-Up

Jon Stewart, John Mulaney, Chelsea Handler and Dave Chappelle honor George Carlin, Joan Rivers, Robin Williams and Richard Pryor.

4 of the the greatest. A good way to learn a little more about them.

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.

Not a bad look back at four comedic geniuses, every one of them deserving. There are at least a dozen, or more, comedians that are deserving, this is simply four of them. The whole premise is difficult in this era, as nearly everything shown in the clips of those honored is available at the push of a button. Still, the event is put together pretty well, the edit of the clips was fine, though parts of Pryors seemed a bit disparaging and uneeded. The presenters were ok, hit and miss all of them, but they were given an impossible task. I enjoyed the event and look forward to seeing it again.

Props to Jeff Ross, his memorial segment was absolutely fantastic, just really spectacular, even if the crowd didn't seem to get some of it.

I love the comedians being honored in this show and I love the comedians that are honoring them on stage but I can only imagine one thing that's worse than watching this show... and that's sitting in the audience for it. Comedians explaining why these other comedians are among the greatest is dull. And also another opportunity for people to toss around the cliche phrase of 'GOAT'. God I hope people drop that phrase soon.

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.
