Just a fun question, to see who your favorite comedian might be, past or current?
I would say mine is Flip Wilson, especially when he did *Geraldine*
Here is one of his funny ones he did with Joe Namath http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-355kMZxUN4
They just don't make *em* like this anymore!

Tim Conway and Harvey Korman made an unbeatable combination.

I have a dry sense of humor.
One of my other faves, and I really mean it was WC Fields. He could drag a gag out for a long time building the set up.
The Fatal Glass Of Beer.
A lot of the modern comics miss the underlying hilarity of the human condition.

Don Rickles. I'm gonna give a shout to Deano for assembling them all together for his Dean Martin Roasts. If you knew the guests, it had you in stitches. :^)

You were one of Rodney’s writers? Holy you know what! That is so cool. So, tell us, was he a nice guy, or was he funny on stage but a jerk in private? Was he generous or cheap?
Can you tell us one or two of your favorite jokes? That you wrote? How does one write jokes? Do you spar back and forth with someone or can you sit in a room by yourself and think them up? Are you funny in real life? Was your family funny? Do you still write for comedians?
Oh, one more question, can one make a good living writing jokes? Do you get something like residuals?
So many questions, but I love to laugh and think it’s quite an art.

Flame away if you must, but I’ve always had a soft spot for Steven Wright.

My dad introduced me to Foster Brooks videos ....the one with him and Dean Martin at a bar and he’s a drunk airline pilot is a riot ... but then there’s also a difference between a comedian and a humorist ... Hal Holbrook as Mark Twain introduced me to his writings (other than Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn) - that’s real humor .... get to watch “Mark Twain Tonight” ....

“Not sure I’m still in grammar school...”
Not that hard to figure out. What grade are you in? You are either in grammar school or you’re not. Of course, perhaps you could buy a comma.
