Agreed.

I always make this comparison with Eddie Murphy.

The long and short of it is

Eddie Murphy did some gay jokes in his stand up special Delirious. He then references how gay people were angry at him and his next stand-up special Raw.

It takes up a minute and a half.

He never references again and the rest of the special is mostly about men and women, Johnny Carson and his family; with some small jabs at Michael Jackson and Italians watching Rocky.

And of course a fantastic bit about Bill Cosby. I think it's worth a watch just for that, considering everything that he has done.
