in my eyes they are the closest to ameircan stnadup comedians, like seinfeld.
they got little help from government, instead some time only blows. every penny they earn the hard way, if they lose audience, they perish. exactly like their american counterparts.
to me, thats' teh future of chinese comedians, not guys protected by powerful greenhouse such as cctv....
i won't deny cui's talents, one of a few cctv guys i like. but his situation is much better than guys like zhou and guo.
furthermore, i am a bit offended by cui's words. unless it's really a mutual acceptablet show by him and zhou. i mena, they are all famous for humors, if zhou has no problem, why should i complain. but for guys like me, i jsut find cui's sayings a bit offending during a wedding
