Semi retired dime-a-dozen, cheap, two-bit stand up comic

Well, I don't respond well to comedians who rely on smut for comedy. That's over.

I love laughing at ourselves, wit and a certain amount of sarcasm. Impersonation.

I was a big fan of Richard Jeni, and Robin Williams- so many others I can't recall now.

Tim Allen, Margaret Cho, Sebastian Maniscalco, Jim Gaffigan, The Early SNL Stars, Jay Leno, Gabriel Iglesias,
Steven Wright, oh there are too many.

Excusing some of his language, I think George Carlin was a genius. As was Gilda Radner.

I didn't like Andrew Dice Clay or Richard Pryor.
I was a fan of Richard Jeni too.

Tragic that like Robin Williams, he committed suicide several years ago.

I was never a big fan of Williams as a stand up comedian, although I enjoyed his acting work and liked him as a celebrity personality.

Yes, Williams was a bit over the top sometimes, but I still got laughs. I know what you mean, though.

Richard Jeni: "You talkin' to me?"
 
What comedians do you guys love and/or hate?
I am a big fan of Brian Regan.

One of the funniest stand ups I've ever seen.

I loved George Carlin, Robin Williams, Red Skelton, Jack Benny and the old SNL folks. Did not like Richard Pryor at all. For awhile they were showing the old SNL shows before the ones at the regular time on Saturday night. I enjoy Colbert and James Corden now each night.

I had the pleasure of working with Jeni. He gave me some great advice about one of my bits. I didn't take it, but I saw his point. He was brilliantly funny.
