Rita Rudner makes me laugh, but the author's observations have merit.

Actually, Ellen de Generes was a very funny standup. So was Paula Poundstone. And both of them worked clean.
Whatever you might think of their politics and, ummm...lifestyle choices.

Erma Bombeck.
Lucille Ball & any of her female sidekicks.
Can't think of any current comediennes, though.

Ann Coulter.
Kinda' like blacks doin' the dozens on each other ... she rat-a-tats one-liners and pertinent quips that slay me.
Not rollin' in the aisle humor, but a put a smile on my face and heart kind of humor ... and it'll stay there because of its pertinence.

"Which is a fair call, but I just seem to have experienced more women laughing at men's jokes than the other way around."
Thats because we (women) dont want to make men feel bad by not laughing at thier stupid jokes.

Tea Leoni is hysterical. She had a short-lived sitcom a few years ago. There was one who used to drink out of the milk carton...can't recall her name.

Rosanne's early standup was funny. Then she got a TV show and went mental.
Ellen DeGeneres' early standup was funny. Then she got a TV show and went mental.
Brett Butler's early standup was funny. Then she got a TV show and went mental.
Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin, and Laraine Newman were all funny on SNL. Gilda had a very funny standup routine post SNL. Jane got a TV show but didn't go mental.

Rita Rudner is awesome. She's quite funny, and glamorous as hell.

Some of my aunts are hysterically funny - but they're not famous. So I suppose that doesn't count. :-)

The older I get, the less I appreciate Erma Bombeck. Her hapless-housewife shtick was getting tired even in the '70s.

No, I think it does count! Everyone famous we've named has relatives, too, right?
