Opps---Cristela would have to stay. And let's keep Taylor but definitely below Burr and Wong probably goes above one of those two.
This list is useful because I hear comics, or am introduced, I might not otherwise. From the list of 9, I heard 6 (one I could not last past 15 minutes). Of the ones heard (each one on Netflix + Ali Saddiq) I would easily switch-out Ali Wong's "Don Wong" and most especially Bill Burr's "Live at Red Rocks" from the list. I have appreciateded Burr from a distance. In this one he bangs it out of the park.
