Another vote for Mel Brooks. When Gene Wilder was involved it was always magic.
I miss those days.

The definitive list of the funniest people who have every lived (well at least since the dawn of recorded sound and film):

John Cleese
Mike Myers
Bill Cosby

George Carlin
Mel Brooks
Buster Keaton
No arguments to this list will be considered.

I always loved Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor together. That comedy duo worked.

Never was much of a Mel Brooks fan. Funniest thing he ever did was "Blazing Saddles", and there were parts of that which I thought weren't funny.

I absolutely hated "Spaceballs." Not funny. Not even in the same country as funny.

A fellow I haven't seen mentioned so far is John Astin.
