I think he's always been a bit of an asshole, but he's a charming asshole and sometimes the things he says are on point. Other times he's just being an asshole though, but I still find that entertaining for the most part.
He's doing a character (like most celebrities).
It might be a schtick, but their public facade never entirely detached from their actual identity. Also, isn't that what everyone does to some extent?
Sure, but it's their livelihood so I bet comedians like Burr are "taking it up a notch", especially on TV/interviews etc. Think about Eric Andre for example. He's probably nothing like his character irl.
