Bill Burr's recent SNL monologue is a masterful example of a comedian succeeding with a difficult audience by refusing to pander.

“bill burr did an snl monologue in front of snl's super like trust fund white woman audience yeah right and he did it bill burr style my man was bill burr all the way through gilbert through and through and killed in arguably the worst audience in comedy murdered with his own material”

Chris Rock's SNL performance felt like he was pandering to the audience's sensibilities rather than performing his own material.

“it seemed to me like chris rock was doing what he thought the snl audience would like not what he wanted”
