Began a search after reading a news item and learned these great 'funny' men had died. Listed in no particular order. Lenny Bruce, David Brenner, Johnny Carson, Rodney Dangerfield, Sam Kinison, Flip Wilson, Buddy Hackett, Henny Youngman, George Carlin, Joan Rivers, Richard Pryor, Jonathan Winters, Robin Williams, Gary Shandling.

Still living Don Rickles 90! Bob Newhart 87! Jackie Mason 85!

[wideminded]

He skewered environmentalists viciously; equal opportunity offender.

And feminists.

[equaviator]

Duly noted!

[Vermont Lt]

You tube has a good catalog of all of those guys. You never have to be alone.

[Ann Archy]

imho the Best Comedy Act is Jeff Dunham and his Dummies!! Hillarious!

[Bobalu]

[N. Theknow]

It's the most Wonderful Time In Eight Years! video and song

[PLOM...NOT!]

Not the traditional stand-up but I think Jeff Dunham is one of the funniest guys out there.
I Keel you!

[PLOM...NOT!]

ha! You beat me by 4 minutes. I love Jeff-fa-fa!

Robin Williams is a net negative with me. I find his choice to commit suicide to be particularly repulsive...

Did you know that his autopsy ultimately revealed that his brain was being eaten away at an accelerated rate?

Yes, I read that Williams was physically tormented in those last months. Very, very sad. And also sad that, as a role model, he chose to commit suicide.

Perhaps he should be given a pass on that, as he wasn’t in his right mind. G-d will decide.

[Political Junkie Too]

That was my take, that he wasn't fully aware of what he was doing.

-PJ

[shotgun]

You forgot Bob Hope.

[daler]

Jack Benny

STILL my all-time favorite!

[tophat9000]

Robin Williams - NO! A rabid nasty liberal with a mouth you wouldn’t believe when talking about Republicans.

He was great adlibbing in “Good Morning, Vietnam,” too.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Foster Br...[urp] Brooks.

No pics of Jackie? I'll fix that.

[exDemMom]

Don’t care much for most of the recent crop (SCTV cast and Bill Murray excepted, also Jeff Foxworthy and Ron White).

You have to be careful with Ron White. I went to see him, and he was foul and crude... not like when he is on TV and has to keep it clean.

I saw Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy a few months ago. They had given free tickets so military personnel could come see them. They do a good show.

[1217Chic]

Anyone on Dean Martin’s Celebrity Roasts.....we watched the other night roasting Jackie Gleason and Milton Berle said something corney like he was so full of gas the Arabs are chasing him.....can you imagine saying that on TV today???

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

Huh? A list that leaves off Bob Hope, yet starts with Lenny Bruce, whose claim to fame is being the “comedic” ancestor of today’s F-bombers & Shock Jocks? He was a veritable Push-The-Envelope Pioneer in the entertainment industry’s wildly successful jihad to drag what was once known as American “Culture” into the cesspool it now is.
