      Well actually he toured a lot of the same jokes for like 10-20 years. It wasn't until a bunch of headliner comedians inspired by George Carlin started to retire their material after shooting a special that it became frowned upon to do the same jokes for years. Standup has changed a lot since the 90s.

    No, I have not seen that show. Rosy O'Donnell said she just copied Jerry's style when she started. That was smart of her. Tony Robbins would have advised that method of modeling success. She stole his exact jokes too, though, at first.
