I don’t know a ton about Andy Rooney but I remember trying to watch Black’s standup special like 10 years ago and a lot of it was just an old man complaining about not understanding phones. So incredibly out of touch.
What I’m saying is that they are to Millennials as the other guys are to Boomers. Yeah, they’re both Gen X, but both Rooney and Cronkite were older than Boomers, too. Jon Stewart is probably the most trusted person in news among Millennials, and I got my Boomer dad to read an entire book series on Cronkite’s recommendation.
If Jon Stewart is the Millennial Walter Cronkite, Lewis Black is the Millennial Andy Rooney

It’s less out of touch and more you not getting it.
Curmudgeon is the whole shtick.
But there weren’t really jokes. It was basicallh him saying “these damn kids and their phones!” which you can get from any crotchety old guy
Maybe his humor works better in small doses…but what I watched just felt like grandpa rambling for an hour. I dunno
Yeah I can see how that’d get old after awhile. He’s not my favorite comedian or anything for sure.
Alternatively, maybe it was just a bad set. I had never seen him before and haven’t watched any other specials so it could have been a fluke
Yep, that sounds like Andy Rooney
I think they are Gen X. Your point still makes sense tho.

Ohh, I see. That totally went over my head. You’re totally right.
Is it weird that I know Andy Rooney mostly from that distinct upper lip dip thing he has going on?
I read that in Andy Rooney’s voice.
