Lily Tomlinson and Bette Midler need a mention.

“9 to 5” might be one of the best comedies ever. Oh wait, “Court Jester” and “Singin’ in the Rain” really up on top.

Irene Ryan. Carol Burnett. Ruth Buzzi. Rhea Pearlman.

Cloris Leachman is actually hilariously funny in "Raising Hope", though she is only a supporting actor.

Whoppi Goldberg was also funny at one time.
