    So who's your favorite comedian ?

    Robin Williams is up there with me, I like his approach at looking topical issues.

    Comedians are hard to pick one over the other because they're so different.

    I like Robin Williams. Geoge Carlin was always good. I like Lewis Black. Probably my three favorites.

    I like Bill Maher's TV show, "Real Time" but I've never been a big fan of his stand up routines.

    I used to love to see Gallagher, but it seems so sophomoric now...

    I saw the Wanda Sykes special last month or so on HBO...that was good. I usually can only take her in supporting roles in movies/TV shows but she was really good in that stand-up.

    Name a comedian and I can probably appreciate something they've done... except Dane Cook. He is not funny...at all.

    Richard Pryor is probably my all-time favorite. George Carlin was funny, too.

    So many to choose from. Lots depends on what I'm drinking and the mood, but......

    Way back I liked the Smothers Brothers.

    A little way back, Eddie Murphy's 'Mr Robinsons Neighborhood' act on Sat. Nite Live was sensational.

    I like it when they can tie a clever theme through their entire act.

    I lived to stay up late to see Johnny Carson's monologue, then went to sleep.

    I saw Sinbad do a gig a few years ago. He had me actually on the floor laughing describing the Mormons and race relations. Like him, I used to live in Utah, so it hit home.

    I've got a ticket to see Bill Cosby in April at a private event. Curious to see how he's changed his routine.

    Richard Pryor was my all time fav.

    I loved Ben Elton when he did stand up in the 80's.

    Eddie Izzard always leaves wheezing with laughter as does Jack Dee.

    and a bit of Michael Mcintyre.

    Daniel Tosh is currently my favorite, but Dave Chappelle made me laugh like no other.

    I get a kick out of Ricky Gervais and Wanda Sykes' HBO special had me laughing so hard, I nearly peed myself.
