I think Richard Prior will take first. Can't think of anyone CC would put before him. I think Seinfield will be somewhere in the top 10. I can't really think of any others that would go in top 10 of the best 100 of all time. I could easily get a top 10 list of who my favorite SUCs are.. but I know they won't get in the top 10, most probably won't even get on the 100 best list for CC. So any guesses?

Other than that, god...there are so many good comedians over the years. Andy Griffith, Bill Cosby, Eddie Murphy, Lenny Bruce, Sam Kinnison, Andrew Dice Clay, Lewis Black, Steven Wright, Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, Steve Martin, George Carlin. So long as Gallagher and Carrottop are snubbed, I'll be happy. Skating away on the thin ice of a new day.

Denis Leary --- As for the show, I would imagine they'd have Bill Cosby somewhere near the top as well. Seinfeld, Carlin and Cosby would be who I would guess for the top three.

I doubt anyone could name 50 off the top of their head, let alone 100. But my 5 top would be: 1. Bill Cosby 2. Robin Williams 3. Steve Martin 4. Will Ferrell 5. George Carlin There are others that have had me rolling such as Tony Woods, but I don't think he would get top 5 just for the fact that he isn't well known.

He was successful b/c he had some clever rymes, but his shtik got so old, so fast, and he had nothing else. The people who deserve to be top 25 are ones who've showed they are creative, and able to think on their feet. The top 25 will also be intelligent comics. I'd put Whoopi above Dice, and I think Whoopi is horrible. She's intelligent, but I'm not sure I've ever laughed at her standup.

Where did robin williams perform that show at that small club where he was dressed kinda mork-and-mindy'ish? It was back around that time and he was just off the walls. Best standup I've ever seen hands down.

One or two on Sat. Night Live I can't think of. One with really dry humor and an annoying voice ... maybe another would be Paula Poundstone ... hmmm
Mardoc the Dwarf Registered User Posts: 1772 (4/9/04 9:05 pm) Reply	.. Chris Rock "Big Blacker" was amazing..... Mine top 5 would be. 1) Eddie Izzard 2) Chris Rock 3) Dennis Miller 4) George Carlin 5) Richard Priar
Trolo Jesterkinng Posts: 6733 (4/9/04 9:41 pm) Reply	Re: .. Cosby will be top 5. He's my number 1, for sure. Seinfeld will be top 10 or 15. 100 is a LOT, they're gonna havta go way back. Oh, god, Bob Hope. He'll be way up there.
