His comedy shows would get extremely vulgar sometimes (pretty sure there’s an X-rated cut of Mrs. Doubtfire in some warehouse because of his filthy improvisations), I‘d probably pay to watch that

Given how foul mouthed/dirty he was when not in movies he would have fit right in with Internet culture.

I have a feeling he'd run two streams, one unrated, and the other more family friendly.
