Charlie Chaplin was awfully good. Tim Conway, Madeline Kahn, Gene Wilder, are names not mentioned often enough.

Impossible to pick one.
But if you use the standard of the number of laughs, total, it’s probably Lucille Ball.

Not even close, Bob Hope. A lot of other good ones such as Jack Benny, but no one could touch Hope. He was also somewhat conservative.

If you really wanted to go out on a limb, you'd say Bill Cosby.

Do you remember that one about “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”?

Since you said “comic actor,” the answer is Buster Keaton, with Charles Chaplin a close second.
After movies became talkies, the spoken joke became as important as the acted joke, and comedians shifted accordingly. The top three would be, in no particular order, Groucho Marx, Robin Williams, and Steve Martin.
