"where a group of comedians will attempt to come up with enough jokes that haven’t already been made about Justin Bieber to fill an hour or so."

Yeah, this was disappointing. I do remember being impressed with how self-aware he seemed in Bowling for Columbine and other interviews around that time. Here: not so much.
