I met him. Nice as the day is long.

sidenote...you know who has outsold Cosby, Murphy and Pryor combined?

Jeff Foxworthy

Different eras.

Russell Peters and Jerry Seinfeld at the two big dogs nowadays.

Russell from selling out stadiums around the world, Jerry from commanding the big dollar venues.

Won't deign to mention the two ventriloquists that make bank as comedians, but they technically exist.

Jeff Dunham and who else?

Some dude named Terry Fator. :shrug:

Rodney Dangerfield gets no respect I tell ya no respect

A little known fact, but this Andy Griffith Show actor and George Carlin started out as a comedy duo.

Happened across this. I usually don't put PFT on a great stand-up because he's not nearly as funny alone on stage as he is improv-ing with a group. But this makes me laugh every time

Deconstruction of a lame joke/prank, makes for great humor. Nary a punchline, but dripping with forthright sarcasm throughout without once nodding to the ridiculousness.

neither Dunham nor Fator could even come close to Otto Peterson. (Otto and George)

Otto was so nasty that Andrew Dice Clay stole Otto's nursery rhyme bits.
