Burnham directed [[Jerrod Carmichael]]'s comedy special ''8'' (2017) for [[HBO]] and [[Chris Rock]]'s comedy special ''[[Chris Rock: Tamborine|Tamborine]]'' (2018) for Netflix. In an interview with ''[[Vulture (magazine)|Vulture]]'', he discussed his directorial outlook when directing a comedy special: "I approached [the special], which was me taking stock of the feelings that I get out of watching this person perform and asking, 'How can I recreate that for the audience as best as possible? How can I make a good container for the thing?' But the thing is being provided by them, so a lot of directing is just getting out of their way."<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.vulture.com/2018/02/bo-burnham-and-the-art-of-the-standup-special.html|title= Bo Burnham and the Art of the Standup Special|website= Vulture|date= February 14, 2018|access-date= January 1, 2020|archive-date= September 18, 2020|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200918090542/https://www.vulture.com/2018/02/bo-burnham-and-the-art-of-the-standup-special.html|url-status= live}}</ref>

== Controversy ==
Burnham said of controversy surrounding his older material in 2009, "I try and write satire that's well-intentioned. But those intentions have to be hidden. It can't be completely clear, and that's what makes it comedy."<ref name=":8" /> As his career progressed, he began expressing regret for his early material, which he described as "[[Shock jock|shock-jock]] offensive comedy done by a 16-year-old without any tact".<ref>{{Cite magazine |date=2018-06-25 |title=Bo Burnham's Age of Anxiety |url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/07/02/bo-burnhams-age-of-anxiety |access-date=2022-08-29 |magazine=The New Yorker |language=en-US |archive-date=August 2, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180802020738/https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/07/02/bo-burnhams-age-of-anxiety |url-status=live }}</ref> During press for his film ''Eighth Grade'' in 2018, he used the controversies surrounding his work to express concerns about the new concept of teenagers' mistakes being immortalized online: "I'm happy to be an example of someone who failed out loud publicly, in a certain way, and who has hopefully been able to evolve and get past that.
