Chris Rock is a grandmaster of improvisation. I don’t think he even writes his material down. If you watch Chris Rock’s specials from the early 2000s, he says that he writes his material down, but then he tests it out in front of an audience and then has to improvise around it.
He can probably do this because he doesn’t need to write his material down, because he is a master of improvisation.
Louis C.K. was almost an INTP. Louis C.K. tested into Harvard even though he didn’t qualify as an INTP.

In addition to singing and songwriting, he plays accordion, baritone and bass saxophone, clarinet, and keyboards for the group. Linnell's lyrics are perhaps best known for their inclusion of strange subject matter and word play. Persistent themes include aging, delusional behavior, bad relationships, death, and the personification of inanimate objects. Conversely, the accompanying melodies are usually cascading and upbeat.
