    You obviously never saw him when he was touring! He is amazingly funny.

    I like a lot of them Wanda is always fun. John Leguizamo's stuff is beyond funny.

    As far as slapstick goes, Jim Carrey was phenomenal during his prime. I wouldn't say he burned out. He just pushed slapstick so far to the limit that we got used to it, and it wasn't humanly possible to go any further. Some of those SNL episodes he's in. . . I blew out a kidney watching them.



    And "Ace Ventura Pet Detective" is pure genius.

    Jon Stewart

    Lewis Black

    Mel Brooks (sp?) -- the twelve chairs, spaceballs, to be or not to be, history of the world, etc... (I wonder if I got his name right.)

    The doctor guy from the "carry on" series.

    Jim Carrey

    there's too many greats, and i'm probably forgetting a few (no order): jerry seinfeld, jon stewart, steve martin, chevy chase, john belushi (a lot of the not ready for prime time players were very funny), bri regan, andy kaufman, rich pryor, rob williams, bill hicks... oo, that dood who would yell ferociously, died like a decade ago, tended to wear a long coat and scarf, and that cap... lewis black, chris farley, and lot's more. i rarely dislike a comedian. among them all, i think my current fav is belushi. for evidence of his greatness, find the "Luck of the Irish" skit, wherein he was a correspondent on Weekend Update.

    Never thought much of him before, but was surprised when I heard on a radio program, a very funny and crude stage bit of Milton Berle's (yes, Milton Berle).



    The same can be said of Buddy Hackett.

    Many of these old timers were really quite foul and graphic in various lounge acts and roasts.

    I was watching Hollywood Squares last night, and Phyllis Diller was on there. She's hilarious! Really!
