Is Ricky Gervais Jumping the Shark with His New Show, 'Derek'? Dec 28th 2012, 00:00 At the risk of sounding like I'm 80, I'd like to say that tearing down people, especially comedy legends, happens way too much on the Internet. Think of the way Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock's early, ground-breaking stand-up specials have been all but forgotten, or how Dave Chapelle is still called crazy for quitting his show, or how even Jerry Seinfeld is criticized for a holier-than-thou attitude toward his work. When Louis CK's hot streak finally ends, and will happen one day (unfortunately), even he will be criticized for "going mainstream" or "getting away from his roots." I think it will happen when his new stand-up special airs on HBO—it's an awesome bit of comedy but it's considerably less dark and mean than his earlier work, which some people may not like.
