He didn't just call them out, he called them out on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Kimmel averaged 1,720,000 viewers a night last year and that doesn't count people watching the next day, or even later, on YouTube.
Bill Burr has always been a "no fucks given" kind of guy and I respect him for that.

Damn. Booing Dom Irerra is low even for Philly.
That guy is like comedy dynamite. He makes sports funny to me and I couldn't give less of a shit about sports.
20 0 ReplyDom Irerra was more open about his sexuality than a lot of the comics of his time, and it always made me respect him.
Rewatching Dr. Katz and thinking about the time period it was in, sometimes Dom feels absolutely subversive to the times.
His obsessive love for Dr. Katz is something a lot of men comics would have been afraid to commit to, even to this day.
14 0 ReplyHe was by far the funniest guest on Dr. Katz and I looked forward to it every time he was on.

Rewatched most of Dr Katz recently after not watching it in forever and Dom was really a highlight. Every scene I remember with him was good and seemed to hold up. I didn't get a lot of the show as a teen watching it, but there's so much gold in it now watching it as an adult.

That was one of the most brutal 'observational comedian' acts I've ever seen.
The constant reminders, "7minutes left", and the going all in on ... everything..
Perfection.
Thanks.

It turns into almost an aristocrats joke. Not really a fan of his, but he delivered it well.
