David Cross doesn’t 'give a f---’: The actor-comedian on his new special, social media and ‘terrifying’ AI

David Cross has released his ninth stand-up special, 'The End of the Beginning of the End', now streaming on YouTube. The comedian is known for his offbeat style and sitcom roles. Cross doesn't tailor his work for algorithms or mass appeal, instead focusing on a balance between silly and political jokes. He expressed concern about the rise of artificial intelligence. Cross' approach to comedy involves threading the needle between playful and provocative content, with audience reaction being his main metric for refining jokes. He doesn't consider social media virality when crafting his material.
