1. Richard Pryor - The Imperial Emperor of Comedy

2. Redd Foxx - The Dirty Duke of Comedy

3. George Carlin - Without a doubt a true King of Comedy

4. Bernie Mac - Without a doubt a true King of Comedy

5. Eddie Murphy - The Crown Prince of Comedy

6. Robin Williams - The Royal Jester of Comedy, if there ever was one

7. Dave Chappelle - An Heir Apparent For The Emperor's Throne, if and when he quits tripping over himself.

Shit! I forgot Paul Mooney! His input, influence and efforts are all over my list, from top to bottom! So I just have to dub him...

The Godfather of Comedy! worship

My faves of all time are George Carlin, Chris Rock and Kathy Griffin. But I must say that I really dug Eddie Murphy's stand up when I was growing up. Raw was the shit!

My top 4 for various reasons:

George Carlin: The master of political and social commentary

Chris Rock: Call's it like he see's it.

Ellen Degeneres: Finding the inane and ridiculous and pointing it out.

Elayne Boosler: Great stand up-her late eighties early 90's stuff-beyond funny. No wonder she was the #1 stand up.

love plenty of others

Wanda sykes

Eddie Murphy

Richard Pryor

Rita Rudner

Paula Poundstone

DesireeNevermind did a thread on comedians about a year ago. I have never listened to Kat Williams before then. He may have the most foul mouth but the guy really thinks about things and his take on the world we live in is hilarious. He is also very physical and that just adds to it.

I don't watch TV, I have one I just don't turn it on much so I am not aware of the routines of alot of the other newer comedians listed.

There came a time when the risk of remaining tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin.

You asked for favorite. My favorite of all time is Richard Pryor. In my opinion, he is the master/king of comedy. Nobody could touch him during his day, and few have even been as funny. Eddie Murphy came close in his day of standup. Paul Moony is also one of my faves. He wrote a lot of Richard's stuff. Another gifted comic was Robin Harris. He would hav gone really far had he not died so suddenly. Remember "BEBE's KIDS?" Runners up are Chris Rock, Bernie Mac, Eddie Grffin, George Carlin and Whoppi. Oh, Steve Harvey is hilarious in "Don't Trip. God Ain't Done With Me Yet."
