So who's your favorite comedian ?
Robin Williams is up there with me, I like his approach at looking topical issues.
Comedians are hard to pick one over the other because they're so different.
I like Robin Williams. Geoge Carlin was always good. I like Lewis Black. Probably my three favorites.
I like Bill Maher's TV show, "Real Time" but I've never been a big fan of his stand up routines.
I used to love to see Gallagher, but it seems so sophomoric now...
I saw the Wanda Sykes special last month or so on HBO...that was good. I usually can only take her in supporting roles in movies/TV shows but she was really good in that stand-up.
Name a comedian and I can probably appreciate something they've done... except Dane Cook. He is not funny...at all.
Richard Pryor is probably my all-time favorite. George Carlin was funny, too.
So many to choose from. Lots depends on what I'm drinking and the mood, but......
Way back I liked the Smothers Brothers.
A little way back, Eddie Murphy's 'Mr Robinsons Neighborhood' act on Sat. Nite Live was sensational.
I like it when they can tie a clever theme through their entire act.
I lived to stay up late to see Johnny Carson's monologue, then went to sleep.
I saw Sinbad do a gig a few years ago. He had me actually on the floor laughing describing the Mormons and race relations. Like him, I used to live in Utah, so it hit home.
I've got a ticket to see Bill Cosby in April at a private event. Curious to see how he's changed his routine.
Richard Pryor was my all time fav.
I loved Ben Elton when he did stand up in the 80's.
Eddie Izzard always leaves wheezing with laughter as does Jack Dee.
and a bit of Michael Mcintyre.
Dana Carvey is another of my favorites, if you haven't seen his latest HBO Special
I highly recommend it, it should be out on DVD now.
There is also a Best of Dana Carvey on DVD from all his skits fron SNL
thats worth picking up.

Did any of you see this program on Showtime? I haven't laughed that hard in months. Good show! (Set your DVR, as it will air again on 03/11/10 at 12:35 AM)

Here's a sample. . .
Here's part one of a special that Robin Williams did a couple years ago,
the rest of the parts are on Youtube
Daniel Tosh is currently my favorite, but Dave Chappelle made me laugh like no other.
I get a kick out of Ricky Gervais and Wanda Sykes' HBO special had me laughing so hard, I nearly peed myself.
