Been listening to some old Richard Pryor albums.....I still think he's the funniest I ever heard.....followed by Bob Newhart in his prime. Whatta about you?

Gallagher, or Eddy Murphy! Keep me in stitches...

Without a doubt....Pauly Shore....he's the best of the best!

Carson was the MASTER of timing...brilliant

Jonathan Winters never really did it for me...same with Robin Williams.....not hatin...just sayin

#7 I'm with you on the "can't have just one" note. Too many funny people out there to exclude, sort of like cigars. I have some favorites, but the variety of so many good ones is something I'd seriously miss if I were limited.

Favorites all-time would probably take too long to list, so I'll just say favorites at this moment...

Steven Wright and Eddie Izzard.

Bill Cosby told some of the best stories

George Carlin made you think

Many don't like him but I got a kick out of Russell Peters.

#11

Oh, yeah, Steven Wright!

Most of my favorites are dead

George Burns & Carlin

Red Skelton

Johnny Carson

Groucho Marx

Redd Foxx

Dean Martin

Still alive and Kicking

Robin Williams

Tim Conway

Carol Burnett

Bill Cosby

Rowan Atkinson

Jerry Lewis

Also liked the Smothers brothers

It fluctuates.

Currently Jim Gaffigan.

He's the funniest guy out there right now, in my opinion.

Probably not an "all time" great, but I laugh at his current stuff like I used to laugh at Steven Wright, or even George Carlin in their prime.

Donnie Baker.... altho I don't listen to Bob & Tom anymore because of their constant Bush bashing...

They can keep Lisa Lampanelli. She's just a fat, obnoxious beeotch.

Some great ones above. A few geniuses that also come to mind:

Lewis Black

Chevy Chase

Mitch Hedberg

Chris Rock

Carlos Mencia

These perfected their art for only about 15 minutes, but when on top, there were few funnier:

Rosanne Barr - early stand-up was stellar

Dice Clay

Bobcat Goldwaithe

Whoopie Goldberg - yes, she was actually funny once upon a time

-dave

One of the guys whose name jumps to my mind every time I think of comedians -- Mitch Hedberg. Damn, I loved that guy's stuff.

I miss Mitch.

Rodney

and

I do think Lisa Lampenelli's vagina is sorta funny
