Jackie never stopped being funny ever Not for a minute. Been in the ground for decades still funnier than all the modern comics put together.

What career?


If Meade was successful being fat, there might be an argument to be made.

Same thing happened with Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen, when he slimmed down for a time. Fat people seem to lose their comedic edge once they've gotten fit.

Drew Carey lost weight and became a game show host.

He does make 35 times the pay in a single episode that Meade has made in his entire 20-year career, but it is a step down from comedy.

George Kirby, black comedian and impersonator, was once on the Jimmy Dean Show, he lost weight and turned to crime.

Not really. Stand up is pretty hard. You've got to come up with jokes and there's a lot of preparation that goes into an act. Being a gameshow host is infinitely easier and in many cases, pays better. All Drew has to do is show up and host. He is probably making more doing Price is Right or whatever than he ever did in standup.

Being a good stand-up comic is far more respectable than being a game show host.

The fact that Drew Carey lost weight and sold out was not a step in a positive direction.
