I remember as a kid watching a Laurel and Hardy movie. It was so funny that I couldn’t quit laughing.

Jack Benny was another great one. It took a few times watching him before his humor began to sink in.

Nobody could beat Bob Hope.

I thought Robin Williams was a good serious actor but he never made me laugh at all.

Buster Keaton was another good one.

I always thought Cheech and Chong were funny. My sides would hurt.

Then I stopped smoking dope and grew up. They aren't as funny now. Sorry, I could only come up with two.

Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in “Some Like It Hot”.

Joe E. Brown was also superb in that one.

I never liked Bob Hope and never laughed at his jokes.

Belushi and Ackroyd in “The Blues Brothers”.

Nicholas Cage in “Raising Arizona”.He was also very funny in “Moonstruck”. Cher was marvelous.

I always loved the clowns, Sid Caesar and Red Skelton.

Giulietta Massina always mad me laugh and cry.

I can’t watch Laurel and Hardy without busting a gut. Favorite “Way Out West”.
