“Itu0026#39;s never easy to recreate legendary entertainment of the past, yet the DCJ 25th Anniversary Special left a lot to be desired, and I do mean a lot. Most noticeably absent was the classic, engaged DCJ rowdy audience renowned for encouraging and motivating a comicu0026#39;s act. Rather this production was attended by A-listers and elites who otherwise keep their too-good asses glued to their seats. If you ask me, I found the stale crowd insulting to the loyal fanfare who made it such a successful franchise. Unfortunately, DCJ-25 proved to be more about reminiscing for attendees than the great comedic content we lived for in the 90u0026#39;s. Overall, it was a teleprompter-laden presentation which lacked the LMFAO genius one would expect (given the All-Star talent in attendance).”
