Robin Williams - he over does it. David Brenner - who? POSTED AT 10:29 PM dr rand pink said... how come you are not on that list,can we talk.i am sirprised mel brooks,osnt on the list. To me I can listen to Woody Allen all day. The adopted daughter thing is wierd though. I'm 51 but some guys make me cry like Charlie Callas,Wally Cox.George Gobel,Groucho Marx and I really like Albert Brooks. Anyways I am having a hard time getting in touch with your manager should I buy The Cutting Room and then your manager would have to talk to me. I dont know. I have real funny stuff.call POSTED AT 10:32 PM clearance blouse said... I think you belong on the list. I think Rollins & Joffe are bushholes. I think: where are the women? I think what about Chris Hicks? POSTED AT 10:40 PM me said... George Carlin was very funny; not so much when his humor turned cynical. I think the hardest thing in the world is to make someone laugh. Where is the link to your articles? POSTED AT 1:33 AM me said... Richard Pryor's story is very sad. No comment on Woody Allen. Never heard Lenny Bruce perform. David Brenner's humor is gentle. Robin Williams' talks too fast to catch every word. POSTED AT 1:40 AM me said... Don't see Chris Rock often. Surprised your choices don't include any female comics: Carol Burnett, Elaine Boosler, Andrea Martin, Joy Behar...YOU! xxx Thanks for sharing, Joan. POSTED AT 1:49 AM Luis said... Great list. Love Chris Rock, too. RIP George Carlin. Love u too, Joan. Saw you at your Bravo taping at the Orpheum in L.A. You just killed, no pun intended! POSTED AT 3:17 AM Beth Z said... Elaine May miss seeing women on your list! This is a good list> POSTED AT 8:30 AM Rafe said... I'm sorry to see you didn't put Sam Kinison on your list, Joan. The guy was hysterical. It takes a great commedian to get more than a smile out of me, and Sam made me laugh loud and often. POSTED AT 3:06 PM Perry said... If they ever made a list of the top five comediennes you would surely be in the top five! POSTED AT 11:20 PM Wes Gardner said... I think you are numero uno. The high priestess of comedy and nobody will ever be any funnier than you. Ever! POSTED AT 1:59 PM Cat' [Ireland] said... ...I'm adding one more & in the lead,1.Joan Rivers. Love you Miss Rivers.(Heaven has just got richer receiving George Carlin back home].xxx... POSTED AT 3:58 PM dr rand pink said... It was ironic to me that when Saturday Night Live replayed its first show in 1975 with George Carlin one of my favorite comics had a short film on,Albert Brooks.I mentioned him the other day on your blog regarding Carlin so that was wierd that they happen to show up together on the tribute.Carlin had said in interviews how stoned he was on coke for that show and you could tell. , Other comics I forgot to mention Alan King Rodney Dangerfield and Bob Newhart. POSTED AT 10:19 AM badpuddytat said... For your list: Woody Allen - not. you forgot Totie Fields, Paul Lynde, Don Rickles, and Rip Taylor (mostly visual schtick, but still hilarious). And YOU of course! POSTED AT 1:49 PM Laraine Spicer said... George was a talent, I always loved and will be missed. I also remember, and toast, the great Totie Fields. POSTED AT 2:38 PM barry said... Can do without Woody Allen, Joan you definitely need to be on the list along with Don Rickles, Whoopi,Bill Maher and Kathy Griffin POSTED AT 9:57 AM robyn in TO said... If they asked #1 to be the kindest; most gracious & generous then this is the correct list; 1JoanRivers2JackieMason3Lenny4Rich5Woody6George etc. I wish u (# 1)continued good health &happiness always! POSTED AT 10:40 AM me said... Thanks so much for the link to your article. Do you regularly write for the NYP? POSTED AT 4:29 PM Ryan Field said... I would have said Joan Rivers for at least one, two or three. POSTED AT 7:21 PM Jeff said... WOODY ALLEN??? In the top 5??? Have you lost it for real this time Joanie????????? POSTED AT 10:31 AM Stephen W said... You can't forget yourself!!! xo S POSTED AT 1:42 PM My two cents said... Besides yourself, RODNEY DANGERFIELD !! OH MY GOODNESS. and Sam Kinison. What about Jackie Mason! I must confess, I still think Woody Allen's stand up is good (not his most recent movies!) POSTED AT 11:45 AM Behar too hateful said... Joy Behar did not heed your advice to keep her hatred for Bush/conservatives to herself. She has gone off the deep end with her bitterness. She's not funny anymore. POSTED AT 2:25 PM m said... You are the BEST writer...never alot of BS but always elegant. POSTED AT 9:52 AM One more said... RICHARD JENI !!! His material is extreeeeeemely funny/original/clean/not sacreligous (even though he was making fun of the church.) Why is he not a bigger name? POSTED AT 12:56 PM P.S. said... I had just seen Richard Jeni on the Comedy Channel. I had totally forgotten that he committed suicide. I am so sick so sad, and so shocked. I am so so sorry. Wow! POSTED AT 1:00 PM Tony said... Chris Rock!? He sucks!! He's about as funny as he is good looking! Whaaa!?? POSTED AT 7:52 PM Stefan said... 1. Kathy Griffin 2. Joan Rivers 3. Margaret Cho...etc POSTED AT 10:10 AM Donnie Chase said... )no joan rivers then no Roseanne, Brett Butler, the list goes on.... You paved the way, bought the highway and now you still work on the road crew. You are the BEST!!!
