I think he's possibly the very best stand up comedian ever - or at least the last 5-10 years have put him into that conversation - and I'll likely hesitate to go and spend money on something from him. Does that make me willfully naive or hypocritical (if we all "saw this coming" pun maybe intended) for enjoying him all these years? I don't know.

He's been my favorite comedian for a long while now and I'm with you in feeling conflicted. I did willfully ignore the rumors, and wanted them to be wrong.
