Hes not universally loved. His last special is clear evidence of that, there is a decent amount of people out there that hate him because of his trans jokes and other things.
Now, hypothetically, if he continued to ride the Chappelle show high for the last 10 years until the wheels fell off. And if he never turned down 30 million dollars or whatever it was. Hed probably be having the career Kevin Hart is having right now (I think Ive heard him make a similar joke himself). And then ol Davey would be right beside Dane Cook on your list because thats how you internet folk work.
Jerry Seinfeld is a legend in stand-up and id say hes mildly popular. Would you like me to poke more holes in your terrible theory? ---
