The Creator of the Sitcom echoes by Joe Rogan with the plea of Hollywood: they make movies again!
When was the last great comedy movie?
This is a question that circulates among the comedians, the actors of comedy and the writers, and recently “Joe Rogan Experience” recently dedicating her episode.
Comedian Steve Byrne, who has just sold out five shows in Rogan’s new club during the south, by Southwest (SXSW) Annual Comedy Festival, has an answer.
If you don’t know Byrne from Rogan’s comedy then you know him from your “Sullivan and Son” Days, or his viral clips on social media. Commander Veteran sat down exclusively with Fox News Digital In Austin in Texas, ahead of his fifth and last show last weekend, where he laughed at his most prominent career and cried for friendship with Vince Vaughn.
But for a comic book, The recent path of the film industryY is not a tiny thing, citing movies like “Bridesmaids”, “Wedding Dresses”, “Superbad” and “The Hangover” as the last few films “Hardcore, R-Owners, without any” mosque “that hit theaters.

The latest census – “bridesmaids” – came out 14 years ago in 2011. The others preceded him, reporting Byrne’s claim that funny films from the 2000s were unfortunately, unfortunately for many, a thing of the past.
“Hollywood [today] Could do a better job allowing comedians to be funny“Byrne told the way out.” … I’m afraid my children grow up in a generation that will not have such kinds, as, communal jokes or common scenes or, you know, I mean, have … All these cultural references we are all adults with. And to know that there is currently a generation of children who are not. Hollywood does not make comedies. They don’t take the risk. “

Byrne described the “failure” of Hollywood as a probable reason behind the sudden upstairs stand-up comedy on the “fill in the void” of Hollywood comedies.
“Komičari have never sold out the Arena, to the extent that you have more comedians who are now the arena. This is because Hollywood failed to fill the emptiness of comedies. And so people become repairing in the arenas.”
And mathematics proves it. According to Pollstar -u, Revenue from stand-up shows doubled from 2022 to 2024, with a combined gross revenue among the top 25 comedians over the last year amounted to $ 582.7 million.

The comic book issued some advice to Hollywood figures that may be ongoing with recent trends in trends, claiming that if they were “smart”, they would allow today’s best -selling comedians just “go to it”.
“I think they are [Hollywood] They were smart, they would let some of these guys go and wouldn’t be too restrictive in terms of, obviously what Bill Burr did, What Shane Gillis did. These are designs. Obviously, there is a desire for someone to let it take it into a narrative form and make films. “
Drug? Byrne decided to write and direct film scripts. And although his latest effort is not necessarily “hard r” – and although he cannot reveal the attachments to the project yet – he told Fox News Digital that he is currently “big name” (which may not be acting in “Office”).
Byrne, whose stand-up routine is known to include everything, from a monologue-style joke to the crowd (a comedy expression for cooperation with the audience), pride that he could make fun of all-in-all-in, including, including both sides of the political aisle.
He recently wrapped himself in his latest special comedy, “violently moderate” – which includes his joke “most comfortable” so far – saying Fox News Digital that he wants to be “more focused”. The comic book called the entertainment industry “progressive and left … as a whole,” explaining the recent flourishing on other platforms outside the Hollywood domain.
“I think that’s why, you know, people go to traditional sales spaces to leave Your mom’s house or Rogan’s podcastetc., etc., because they do not receive their repairs from these other main elements that, you know, are quite just primarily supported by people who agree with them and play in the same sand box. “
Rogan himself agreed, going to his subcast Asking the question: “Did people awaken comedy? Is there any attempt at a politically correct movie about comedy?”
Despite her frustration because of the industry, Byrne told Fox News Digital, she has nothing better than she is in comedy.
“I think stand-up is the biggest job in the world,” he said. “The fact that you can take something relatively or something you can easily get out of the ether, and you bring it to the foreigners’ space and provoke only one emotion, which is laughter … There is nothing better than that.”

Which are this Komicar favorite comedians, maybe you are wondering? Well, Byrne is a few in mind.
“Bryan Callen laughs at me like no one else,” he said. “He’s so smart, so gifted, so talented … just laughing at me.”
Byrne also pointed to Famous comedian Sebastian Maniscalcoto claim that his “contempt for humanity is” “f ——-funny.”
A significant curmudgeon bill burr shares a similar enthusiasm for anger, Byrne shared.
“Account [Burr] I’ll call me and I just don’t say hello. No, “How are you?” Only three minutes will go to the tangent, appalled at something. “
“What I hear behind closed doors to the present … [are] Some of the most mixed conversations. “
Finally, quoted by a funny man Longtime friend Vince Vaughn – who produced “Sullivan & Son” from 2010 and other titles that Byrne wrote – as not only a “funniest human being” he met in his entire life, but probably his greatest friend.
“Vince Vaughn is not a comedian-on a comic actor-but is certainly one of my best friends, if not my best friend. And now I’ll tell you, he’s the most mixed human being I have ever met in my whole life.”
“Vince has the most innate ability to go directly where gold is. He just bypasses it. I have to work very hard; I’m not that way … [But] I could literally do this tonight better than I could 60 minutes, and I’ve been doing it for 25 years. “
Byrne brought him a full circle – revealing that it wasn’t Vaughn, he wouldn’t start writing for film and television.
“He said,” You should write something for yourself. “I said,” I never wrote anything but a joke. “He is,” You could do it. So I bought all these books and six months later gave him a screenplay for “Sullivan & Son”. He is like, “I’ll read this tonight.” And so it happened “Sullivan & Son” … I could become emotional, but I wish everyone had friends like him. “
Byrne, who started putting himself “through Wringer” in the NYC Comedy Comedy during his 20ths in what he described as a “Master of the Comedy” -suffered “one of the worst bombs” in his career when followed by Like Raya Romano, Chris Rock, late Robin Williams and Dave Chappelle. But he said his biggest role was all his father.
“I pray that every night, and there is no night that goes through it, you know, thank God I only have two wonderful children.”
