John Cleese!

Hasn't anyone ever seen him in Monty Python or Fawlty Towers?

Somebody had mentioned Eddie Murphy. Not my FAVORITE comedian, but he makes my list as an all-around talent. Comedy, action movies, drama and children's movies, he excels in all of those genres.

However, I can tell you I have met Jim Carrey twice, and I promise he is without a doubt one of the nicest celebrities I have ever met.

As for Bill Cosby, I met him too and I have no comment.

Primate Boy, how did you meet Jim Carrey? As far as Bill Cosby is concerned, he is a fellow Philadelphian, and I've met others who have also met him and my sense is they felt very similar to you.

Sacha Baron Cohen

I like and enjoy material from each of the comedians that have been listed and discussed. I do not really have a favorite because it all depends on my mood and their material!!!

Carlin wore a Rollie!

First time I met Jim Carrey was at a Kings vs. Ducks game. He was there with his little girl (she was little at the time; it was 12 or 13 years ago). He could not have been nicer, indulging every request for an autograph or handshake whenever anyone approached.

While we were with him, he was also a wonderful father. Overall, he seemed very genuine and kind and treated his little girl like gold.

Sam Kinison. No doubt. I still feel bad about his young passing.
Anyone heard of Mitch Hedblom... very funny.

Both Carlin and Williams appear in my top 25 though Carling would be far higher.

Hi Harvey,

I listened to his skit all the way through, and my sense is people like him because most (men in particular) would find him an easy person to relate to, and he also looks like a typical guy. While he does curse, he isn't gross (which is what I find intolerable in Dice Clay). Thanks for your post.

My two favorite people on the planet who have me consistently in stitches is Kelsey Grammer as Frasier, and David Hyde Pierce, who plays Niles, Frasier's brothers. Two pompous and insecure psychiatrists who are guaranteed to make anyone smile. (Let's also not forget about Eddie, the trusty and beloved Jack Russell belonging to their father

.)

No Dave Chappelle?

barista_krystal · 1 September 2009, 06:13 AM

I like Zach Galifianakis. I have a love for bearded men.

kyle L · 1 September 2009, 06:14 AM

Ben Stiller? His movies are pretty funny

ayecarumba · 1 September 2009, 12:58 PM

Glad to see I'm in sync with my fellow TRFrs with a dead heat developing between George Carlin and Sarah Silverman...I voted Sarah...that "Jesus is magic" special was too funny (and she's better lookin' than George Carlin!).

Alas, my poor favorite Rodney Dangerfield not included for vote...Still "NO RESPECT?!"
