But I'm not sure what you mean by "live shows" - neither Rogan or Cook have done live stand-up sets online as of yet - and I imagine they could be as ambivalent as your friend is. The live experience of stand-up is still important to both of them - both artistically and commercially. I think they'll both be a little slower to put on a "live show." But they have had essential live chats or conversations with their fans online using justin.tv, which I can definitely see the advantages of - and is nothing for comics to be afraid of.
