Jeff is a bit of comedian himself, but Ryan was a true force multiplier in the comedy-sense. After Ryan died Jeff was never as funny, never as willing to break out of his shell to make something as funny as like his child molester character. With the death of comedy, especially in the game/technology sphere Jeff doesn't even have the option to be funny anymore. Comedy is problematic. Comedy does not fit in with the culture at CBSi in 2020, or really any tech company.
