Why Isn't Bobby Lee More Respected As A Comedian?

This guy single handedly carried MadTV when it was on cable television. Not only does he do comedy, but he's a great actor when ever he's given roles on TV having appeared on multiple tv shows. Why isn't he more famous?

      Bobby is a cuck but this chick is a gold digging psychopath of the highest order. She owns half of his podcast, she had him committed to a mental hospital while she was in Hawaii fricking some dude after gaslighting Bobby into an open relationship he didn't really want. She's admitted to jerking off dogs, fricking her brother (who killed himself), she lies about being a professional swimmer, registered nurse, and a bunch of other shit. For a year after they broke up, she stayed in his house along with her niece (who was freeloading). She's still on the podcast and it's just continuing to go downhill.

      Her entire pattern on the show is to derail good conversations by saying out of pocket demeaning shit about Bobby. Absolute succubus of a woman.

        correction his niece is still freeloading. they just moved her off the podcast coz of the backlash
        she's also back on teh podcast now-they straight up delete any comments talking about her freeloading.
        also they gave her made up stories about school shooters threatening her so ppl will sympathise with her

            My point is you're moronic, honestly. Mad TV had a well rounded cast that were all well loved, singling out Bobby is a weird pick. I had a harder time trying to remember a specific character for him than Stewart or Ms. Swan or James Brown or Kenny Rodgers or the Cholas or the coffee guy etc. Bobby had great energy but his iconic character was.... the bad translator?

              Bobby Lee is remembered the same way Ms Swan and Stewart are. But both of those guys aren't really doing TV anymore, other than Bobby, so that disqualifies them. My point is Bobby Lee has a much more impressive resume, is still active in acting and doing comedy, so why isn't he more popular?

                And the answer is well known, dude is a disaster of substance abuse and personal issues. I take issue with your bizarre memory of Mad TV. Seriously, rewatch it. I mean, even by your weird 'still working' criteria, Key, Peele, Sasso, Bornstein, Williams all have much bigger careers/range and did more on Mad TV. Hell, Artie Lange self destructed way back on S2 and many times since and is also a bigger name, plus White Momma is 1000x the skit anything Bobby did on the show.

    because hasn't written new material in two decades, and because his old material is just getting naked when his hackneyed jokes about having a korean father don't go over

    he can be funny in the right environment, with the right people around him, and at the right point in his manic cycle (for example, some of his O&A appearances), but most of the time he tries way too hard. he's hardly a comedian. bobby is 100% a comedy store animal. if mitzi shore didn't like him because he sucked up to pauly he would never have earned stage time anywhere else.

    I don't know what it is, but Koreans just can't handle fame and fortune too responsibly.
    They tend to fade away to obscurity as quickly as the brief moment of success they enjoy they.
    Almost all of them eventually succumb to psychological problems as a result of drugs, alcoholism and/or family/relationship problems, and never recover their success to any meaningful level.
    Exceptions occur of course, but Bobby Lee is unexceptional.
