[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

No one mentioned Buddy Hackett yet, so I will.

I'm surprised Bill Hicks hasn't shown up on anybody's list yet.

Two of my old favorites are, Jackie Gleason and Art Carney

Steve Carell and Leslie Nielsen are my favorite funny actors. Dont really have a favorite comedian.

 

[Okiedog]

Can't believe Red Skelton hasn't been mentioned.

I was never a fan of Bill Hicks, but he inspired a lot of good comics.

I thought of more to add..

Joe List
Ari Schaffer
Natasha Leggero
Monroe Martin
Brody Stevens
Chris DeLia
Mike Birbiglia

 

[BlackRifle]

Larry the Cable Guy
Lewis Black
Foster Brooks

[AllOut]

How has no one mentioned Chris Rock?

This really has nothing to do with "race" but I've never really been into black comedians. Not that I have anything against them, just not my style. The newer generation anyway. I do like Rickard Pryor and a few of the older ones.
However, one of my favorite newer comedians is Bruce Bruce. That's one funny big ol black dude!
