I remember Sandler's albums being more studio music works than live stand-up. Maybe BSAMS is referring to stuff I haven't heard, but that's all I can remember as of right now.
Mitch Hedburg's Standing of the Edge of Comedy album has the most appropriate title I can think of for that album. It's like he's standing on the edge of comedy looking at it, but unable to understand what it really is. He and Horatio Sanz have to be the two unfunniest comedians on the face of the planet. If that's what people are considering comedy now-a-days, then it further accentuates my point that we need more exposure to the classic comedians who knew what funny was.
A-WAA?! Clumping Mitch Hedburg into the same group as Horatio Sanz is a nearly-unforgivable transgression, but I'll let you slide this time, doctor.  Yes, I'll agree with you there, I have absolutely NO idea how Horatio Sanz got onto SNL, but I don't think he should be compared to Hedburg.
Comedy is like everything else, it's got all sorts of different styles and subgenres (for lack of a better word). Did everyone like Bobcat Goldwaith (sp?) when he first came out? I seem to remember his character-voice turning people off. "Is he retarded or something?" My point is, there's a comedian for every type of comedy-lover out there. There's just something about Mitch Hedburg that I just find incredibly hilarious. His speech patterns and his voice have something to do with it, I think.
The Amazing Jonathan is hilarious, too, but some people may not think his coke-inspired humor is that funny (especially when it's YOUR Rolex watch he just smashed to pieces inside his red velvet bag).
Personally, I can't stand the yuck-yuck-schmuck stand-up of Rodney Dangerfield-types, the self-deprecating humor that appeals to the leisure-suit and rhinestone-wearing 50-60+ crowd.
