PATTON OSWALT: I LOVE EVERYTHING
May 19, 2020  | By David Bianculli

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

 
SPECIAL PREMIERE: Patton Oswalt has gone through a lot since his previous standup special – he’s married again, for one thing. But in this solo standup act, recorded at Charlotte before the coronavirus began to spread, he doesn’t devote much time to that topic, or even to politics. “I don’t have any Trump material, that’s what I’m saying,” he says. Instead, he spends a few minutes on why he doesn’t joke about President Trump: “Right now,” he says, “being a comedian is like being the emcee in Cabaret. Not a lot of bright spots.” Instead, Oswalt muses about such topics as father-daughter days, Jesus, and Denny’s. On that last topic, he spends much time and thought analyzing the anthropomorphic figures on the Denny’s menu (“The fried egg is a prostitute”; “There’s something wrong with the pancake”).
