It's common now everywhere in comedy, because Carlin/Pryor started the trend.

Previous generations of comedians would do the same material over years...Cosby was the last of that generation.

Actually, I'd say Seinfeld is the last of that generation. He has his "greatest hits" that he trots out at every opportunity.

Are you sure about that? I remember him doing an "I'm telling you for the last time" tour where he was retiring a lot of stuff. I saw him after that, late 2000s and it was 100% new material.

There was an entire movie (Comedian) about him starting new material from the ground up in prep for a special.
