Night of the Living Comedians

I’ve been wondering about the career of comedians lately. It seems like a lot of the good comedians start out really amazing and end up faltering later on in their careers. Then, they either fade away, or come back into their own when they are older. Can washed up comedians come back from a dead career?

Take Bill Murray for instance.



Here is a man who was an amazing comedian in his prime. He had an amazing early run with films like Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, and Stripes. But, then he faded away for a while. Every once in awhile, he would pull out a decent flick.

Then, he was in Rushmore. He was now making more intelligent comedies. He started starring in films like Lost in Translation and The Royal Tenenbaums. He had come out of obscurity and back into the mainstream light.

Now there is Jim Carrey.



He has been in slump through the late 90’s and the early 2000’s. But, with films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, you can’t help but wonder if he is starting to come back.
He is coming out with that Fun with Dick and Jane movie. I think that is going to be a flop. I guess we’ll see what happens…

MITCH!!!
