I've never heard of that website but I've listened to a lot of different comedians having conversations and every time Chappelle got mentioned before COVID all of them would express how legendary he was. That legend is definitely gone now, he shouldn't have come back. But back then him and Louis were the two living comedians that had absolutely everyones respect.
Edit: Decent list but Carlin shouldn't be on there because his funny specials were not in the 2000s him and Lewis black got significantly less funny later in their career. Whoever made the list is an idiot for not having Chappelle on there but it's nice seeing Bryan Reagan get some respect.
Edit edit: after looking up his specials Carlin did actually get a decent special in, in 2001. But he is by no means a "2000s comedian"
Edit edit edit: my point being this article is irrelevant and you are still wrong.
