I just think he ran the Man show into the ground. Everytime I've seen him he just seems like a drunk with a mic. I do like Artie Lange though. My validity seems to be shot in the foot.

Doug will be the first to admit that the Man Show sucked. They had some great material, but the censors and producers fucked with everything so much that, as he said, "we were lucky if we ended up with the same premise, let alone the same bit." Besides that, Stanhope and Rogan's material is way too dark for that show, and they both had nothing but contempt for the retarded frat-boys that made up so much of the show's audience.
And he
is a drunk with a mic, and he'd be the first to admit that, too. But if you listen to some of the social issues he mocks, he's spot-on, and funny as hell while he's doing it. Check out "No Refunds," if you get the chance.
All those guys I listed above are similar in terms of how far they push the envelope, and how creative they are with the angles they choose. And they're all human train wrecks, too. That's the best part about them. None of it is a schtick. Every night, there's a good chance things may derail, and it's always more fun that way.
