Favorite Comedians? Male and Female
 

What are your fav. comedians?

Male: Definetely a tie b/n Robin Williams and Jerry Seinfeld, although Larry David comes in a close second.

Female: 3 way tie....Judy Tenuta/Paula Poundstone/Rita Rudner

Crazy!! Those are my three choices for female comedians!! Margaret Cho is pretty funny as well...

As far as males go: Eddie Izzard, Jerry Seinfeld....

Well, I know I've seen some others both male and female that I loved...but I'm awful about names....

Male - George Carlin

Female - Ellen DeGeneres

Easy...
 

Male:

George Carlin
Sam Kinison
Eddie Izzard
Cheech & Chong

Female:

My Mother (I have her sense of humor which gets me in trouble way too much)

If I HAD to pick one.....I would probably have to lean towards Judy, b/c she is so mean to her audience, that it justs cracks me up. I hope to her live one day (it could happen!)...I just better watch out for her flying gum!

Buddy Hackett, George Carlin, Elaine Boozler, Paula Poundstone. There's one I saw years ago - I think her name was Diane Ford or Carol Ford.

My faves:

MARGARET CHO (!!!)
George Carlin
Roseanne (don't stone me)
Caroline Rhea
Dave Chapelle
Sarah Silverman (who could forget her appearance on Conan?!)
Mo Rocca (love him to death!!!!!!!!)
Tracey Ullman

I like Roseanne. And she was something of a pioneer.

Speaking of which, who was that Moms lady from the Sixties who would perform in a housedress & without any teeth?

- Jake

Males:

Will Ferrell
Chris Rock
Eddie Izzard
Eddie Murphy
Chevy Chase (I know it's not cool)


Females:

Tracey Ullman
Ana Gasteyer
Ellen DeGeneres
Brett Butler

I don't really know any male comedians, but my favorite female comedians are Margaret Cho, Ellen DeGeneres, and Paula Poundstone. :D

Moms Mabley :)

George Carlin, Bill Murray, Lucy & Desi.

I <3 Mitch Hedburg, Eddie Izzard, Lewis Black and Dave Attell.

Don't really have many female favorites. Ellen DeGeneres is pretty good but I can only take most others in small doses.

Thanks, that's what I thought. Boy, could she deliver a line.

Robin Williams is hysterical!!!
George Carlin
Eddie Murphy (IMO, should go back to stand up)
Chris Rock
Steven Wright
and even Bill Cosby was good back in the day....(I loved his Noah bit...even as a kid I found it hysterical...and nobody here probably knows what I'm talking about :eek: )

As far as females go...I liked Roseanne in the beginning, but later on she just went all crooked...I like Ellen DeGeneres, I thought she did a great job with the Emmy's...and she's great with her guests...and that's about all I could think of:confused:
