Okay, so this is satire of someone real doing this, and I'm out of the loop. Is this Rogan whining about people hating his terrible comedy?

It's about Chappelle and Ellen having comedy specials on Netflix where they talk about being cancelled.
And they are not even the only comedians doing this. It's basically a trope at this point.
Anyone who is paid to say funny things in public and still manages to pull that punk ass move is automatically wasting my time
I think it's hard time to not be an asshole and work in comedy. A friend of mine got into stand up and it was just an avenue for him to teach everyone about the stereotypes he believes in. Before he was just this friend who said shit and we could ignore and change the subject, and then he got an audience and it was like everything he believed in was automatically approved and appropriate. If it got groans from people in the crowd "but they're women so who cares hahaha'. Covid took a lot of these people over the edge.
Stewart Lee did a bit about comedians ridiculing comedians who did the whole ‘things you can’t say anymore’ thing.
this is too meta
Never have gotten a good answer out of anyone as to why they think their suggestions are full of people who've been 'cancelled'.
I don't know this guy, but he sounds like he's as funny as our angry uncles at Thanksgiving.
