Favorite stand-up comedian

#1

Post by Curtis Bonds » Sun Jun 27, 2004 11:36 pm

After I started getting Comedy Central, it opened me up to a whole new world of stand-up comedians, thanks to shows like Comedy Central Presents. Who would you say is your favorite, that you've seen on this show?

I'd say... Dane Cook, or Gabriel Iglesias.

Lewis Black, Rodney Dangerfield, Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor, Jon Stewart, Dana Carvey, Ron White, Jerry Seinfeld, and, of course, George Carlin.

I've probably forgot a lot, though.

Robin Williams, Dane Cook, Gilda Radner, Lewis Black, George Carlin.

I liked Gabriel Iglesias on All That, but I've actually never seen his stand-up.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

"Well, we didn't expect so many people to be choosing cake!"

Ron White and Larry the Cable guy are funny. Jeff Foxworthy and other guy aren't.
