Like all that y'all have posted. Especially Robin Williams, George Carlin and Bob Hope.

Anyone remember Totie Fields? She was my mom's favorite. Unfortunately, she had a short life, died at 48.

 

[Trade]

George Carlin and Louis CK are my favorites.

Mark Russell

Yeah, he's full of biting satire, but he ain't a stand-up comic, Boss!

He reminds me of Tom Lehrer, who I also thought was great! ("Poisoning pigeons in the park", etc...)

Cheers,
Hal

If you're talking about Social and Political Satirists who were also Stand-Up Comics, then MORT SAHL leads the pack!

He was the innovator of modern satirical comedy, was on the cover of TIME, and also made several record albums. He is now 90 years old.

Among his many satirical targets were the Cold War and tearing apart the Eisenhower administration. (1953-1961)

Seen some listed here I never heard of. Haven't watched the tube in a while so can't think of any. Remember liking some jewish girl., Sara something or other. While he was a stand up in his younger years and later became tonight show host, my all time favorite comedian is Johnny Carson.

 

[joel0711]

carlin and ron white

 

[Sunny]

Drifter, you're probably thinking of Sarah Silverman.

My own favorites are also Mark Russell and Tom Lehrer. Whether they were technically "stand up comics" or not, they certainly were comical!

 

[JaniceM]

My favorites: Jay Leno and Johnny Carson.

 

[Don M.]

I like nearly all comedians. The last couple of years, the best one I've seen is the Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham...and his collection of "characters".....especially Walter.

 

[Falcon]

That Jeff Dunham is amazing ! "I keel you !" LOL

 

[Katybug]

Not in this order...

Lewis Grizzard
Johnny Carson
