Gary's early material was pretty great, in my opinion. His Judge Cuts set was probably one of the better comedy sets of the season (though I'd say Myq's JC or Drew's Audition/Semifinals sets top it), and he got a few laughs from the Quarterfinals set. But...as soon as he hit the live stage, the magic started to wear off, and he fell into the realm of explaining...all...of...my..jokes...very...slowly...that certain awkward comedians fall into. It's why Taylor Williamson is my favorite in that genre of awkward comic over, say, Darik Santos or Jacob Williams. Taylor worked in that he didn't fall into that trap. Gary fell into that trap, and boy did he stay there. And it SHOWED. ESPECIALLY in the Finals set, which was probably the worst performance of the night barring Derek's flop.
