I agree...

but he never will again. It was too fresh and funny at the time, and artists/comedians/singers who create revolutionary stuff only have a relatively short window of time when their creativity is at its true peak.

Eddie will always be able to do great character acting, such as in Bowfinger or Dreamgirls, because he is uniquely talented, but long gone are his "Standup" days. He was untouchable back then and still is in that regard. It was probably the most funny and impactful comedy shows ever.

He was the king of 80s comedy.
