As traditional TV comedy wanes, Netflix is redefining the genre with its innovative approach to stand-up and talk shows. The platform has become a stand-up powerhouse, thanks to a Canadian comedy enthusiast's efforts, and is now challenging competitors like Hulu. Netflix's live late-night experiment with John Mulaney could herald more such offerings. The company is also revising payment structures for Hollywood talent, potentially altering industry norms again. Comedians like Bert Kreischer have acknowledged Netflix's pivotal role in enhancing their careers and the stand-up comedy scene. Questions remain, however, about whether Netflix can maintain its roster of top comedians as it navigates these expansions.
