It seems to me that all of the great comedians have been social commentators. It's the jester archetype.

Well first off, I find it amusing that Dr. Grande always starts off with the disclaimer that he's not diagnosing anyone, and then proceeds to do just that.
With that little observation out of the way, I'll bet he's a real drip at a party, he always reminds me of a wet noodle, just laying there. Getting cold and sticky.
Seriously, what I see in him is a square peg, who learned everything he knows from the Square Peg Manual, with actual life experience not straying too far from office settings and academia.
Carlin was a natural born philosopher, a studier of people and society in general, he was never quite satisfied with who he was, and reinvented himself many times as such people are prone to do. Carlin didn't give a shit about leaving any particular fan base behind when reinventing himself, he was marching to the tune of his own drummer, to have it any other way would have been a monumental betrayal of himself.
So his drug use. It wouldn't surprise me if Grande has never even smoked a joint in his life, so what the hell would he know? it would never even occur to the self-flatulating image he has of his own intellect that doing something like acid would have opened up whole new worlds for a person such as Carlin to explore, and that a drug like cocaine would be a natural co-pilot for such a guy to sit alone in a room listening to his favorite music, while conjuring up new routines. It was a match made in heaven and he knew that.
That his substance abuse was a double edged sword, and was also something that he struggled with over his lifetime is a token of the human struggle at large, and most assuredly Carlin recognized the irony of his own condition. That likely gave him even more license to point it out in other places that he noticed it going on.
You know, I'd rather an experienced bartender diagnose my life story, they'd be able to truly read someone better than an academic like Grande any day of the week. I think a lot of his takes on people are butcher jobs, with his take on the life of George Carlin being right up there at the top of the doozies. People are complicated, their struggles, successes, failures and heartbreaks, make them who they are. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse.
But it's a beautiful struggle when looked at in a certain light.
I don't think Grande would recognize "it's a big club, and you're not in it!", or the brilliant depth of sarcasm in the "I now worship the sun" routine, even if they both came swimming up out of those depths unknown and bit him square in the ass, and he certainly would never recognize his own utter lack of insight into many of the people he diagnosis.
So there's my own brief diagnosis of both Carlin, and Grande.

Yeah. It's like with Alan Watts who used alcohol a lot and died from complications due to it. Someone could just be mean and say that oh well, he was just a drunkard. How could he have been anything great? Yet I think he was very wise and there haven't been many people or philosophers who would have influenced me with their thoughts as much as he did. We are only all human now and struggle with our many issues issues and flaws.
Perhaps the likes of Dr. Grande sure could use an acid trip or two, or perhaps a journey to the mushroom-land, or even better and try ayahuasca a couple of times. They tend to have their head so up in their ass that they just think that they know it all better. I think in general that tends to be a big common problem with academia and their intellectually arrogant mentality. That's why also they label anything spiritual as woo-woo.You know, I'd rather an experienced bartender diagnose my life story, they'd be able to truly read someone better than an academic like Grande any day of the week.

In general I just find Dr. Grande's takes amusing, sometimes he hits the mark, but quite often not. The topics themselves are more interesting than what Dr. Grande really has to offer, but so far I haven't really found a a channel which would tackle such a wide array of current topics. He of course does that for the sake of money.

Especially the US right wing media likes to talk a lot about Hunter Biden.

I wonder if Kerry Cassidy had him as her whistleblower.
