Who are some of your favorite stand-up comedians or funny people, all-time.......

While I'm not a big Chevy Chase fan, this is a good routine in a Paul Simon song. Chevy is lip sincing that

He is an exception, but why does the SNL talent pool almost always suck ass?

Is anyone even trying to find funny people?

I am really curious.

Martin Mull and Fred Willard doing the little known show Fernwood Tonight (it was on PBS back in the 80's) were incredible. The episodes are available, and it is just insane.

Trump.

Regardless of the race, sex, skin color, or ethnic background of that person? My favorites include Robin Williams, my absolute favorite stand-up comedian all-time, he was a fine actor in addition to his brilliant and wonderfully zany stand-up. And George Carlin, who I think is STILL relevant these days, Steve Martin, Bill Cosby, Dave Chappelle, (my favorite current comedian) Groucho Marx and Lucille Ball, some more of my favorites.

I would encourage everyone to watch Ralphie May and specifically his "Just Correct" routine. Its hilarious but will piss everybody off. Also Bill Burr.

Bob Nelson is hilarious. This would never fly today.

This is one of the funniest routines I have ever seen.

Red Skelton
Flip Wilson
Pryer
Eddie
Kinnison
Ron White
Lewis Grizzard but hes more a writer
Robin Williams
Kyle Esshin (actually a comedy magician)

Thanks, YaKuda. I've never watched Ralphie myself, but a friend of mine really likes him.
