Is the trend of comedians making comedy specials a money grab? Let's take a look at a few examples and see if we can determine that. I discuss the beginnings of YMH Live Shows and their evolution. We examine if the 69 Minutes with Tom Segura our of YMH Studios is a money grab. We take a look at the Skankfest live stream and if 12 shows over a weekend is worth 80 bucks. We analyze the the value of the Kill Tony special event streams, how awesome the Gilly and Keeves sketches from Shane Gillis and John McKeever were, and why everyone should take a chance on purchasing content directly from comedians. We discuss if Andrew Schulz's moves with the special he bought back from a streamer (Netflix, probably) was a textbook money grab. We also ask if Chris D'Elia and Louis CK have the same kind of pull. Do they?
