Elite 5145 Cleveland | Subject: RE: Greatest Comedians of all time Chevy Chase Red Skelton Tim Conway (w/ or w/o Harvey Korman) Denis Leary Richard Pryor Sam Kinison Eddie Murphy George Carlin Bill Cosby - his HBO special is still one of the best bits of comedy, ever. Steven Wright Robin Williams Honorable Mention: Mel Brooks. Didn't do stand-up, but his movies are the funniest things, ever. Edited by cgregg 2012-09-20 6:49 AM |

Carlin's later stuff was kind of a downer but very smart. Leary always made me laugh but to call him one of the greatest is a stretch, IMHO.
I'd put up
Cosby (I remember being a kid and listening to his records (yes vinyl records) for hours
Robin Williams
Sam Kinnison
There are tons of others I'm forgetting but if any one puts up Dane Cook .... SMH

Elite 6387 | Subject: RE: Greatest Comedians of all time scoobysdad - 2012-09-20 7:34 AM Toss up between Gallagher and Carrot Top. Shut up. I saw that Gieco commercial with Gallagher in it recently and I was like... my God, what rock did he crawl out from? Pretty big in the day... but definitely a one trick pony. |
