I am also a big time fan of stand up comedians. I would rather watch stand up than just about anything.
There's several different categories, I don't think you can really choose like "Five Best." Here's some of my all time faves, by category: Dead Guys: Richard Pryor Sam Kinison Bill Hicks Jonathan Winters George Carlin Rodney Dangerfield. Pryor was the best at understanding the black perspective. Kinison was best at why you should stay single. Hicks and Carlin on politics. Winters on improvisation. Rodney was the best at one liners. Live Guys: Lewis Black Jim Gaffigan Ron White Dave Chappelle Chris Rock Louis CK Steven Wright Bill Cosby Guys Who Are Now Primarily Actors: Steve Martin Eddie Murphy Jerry Seinfeld Patton Oswald Tim Allen Robin Williams Jim Carey Dana Carvey Jeff Foxworthy Impressionists: Kevin Pollack Frank Caliendo Darrell Hammond Billy Crystal Chicks: Sarah Silverman Maria Bamford Rita Rudner Phyllis Diller (RIP) Ellen DeGeneris Wanda Sykes Musicial Comedians Smothers Brothers Steven Lynch Rodney Carrington Tim Wilson Adam Sandler Robert Klein |
Bill Burr
Daniel Tosh Joe Rogan Dave Attell Mitch Hedburg And that's leaving out the obvious ones like George Carlin. |
Ah, forgot Mitch Hedburg. That guy was fabulous.

Good thread. My wife and I have been watching a lot of standup lately. Things we've watched lately that we liked:
Louis CK (duh) Aziz Ansari Kevin Hart |

Rich Little , he was one of the first, and is still very good; Jim Meskimen--does a TON of voices, but isn't as well known for some reason. |

Todd Barry is a very laid back guy. Not as laid back as Steven Wright, but very laid back. In my list of dead guys, I forgot Richard Jeni. He killed himself, which was terrible, because he was fighting depression for a long time. Greg Giraldo was another guy lost to drugs, he was a great stand up. Dave Attell and Jim Norton are both funny too.
I used to love to watch the old school guys on the Dean Martin Roasts and on the Tonight show. Guys like Don Rickles, Jan Murray, Buddy Hackett, Nipsey Russell, Flip Wilson, Red Buttons, Foster Brooks, Bob Newhart, Redd Foxx, Alan King and David Steinberg. Woody Allen was a great stand up, until he started making movies and became a pedophile. |
Frank Caliendo as Adam Schefter....

My list:
1. Bill Burr . . 2. Carlin 3. Louie/ Patton / Marc Marron 4. Chappelle/Mulaney/Jeffries 5. Pryor/Murphy/Rock |
Comedy Central's list of the greatest 100 is here:
http://www.listology.com/list/comedy...ndups-all-time Here's another list: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/great...comedians.html I forgot guys like Carson and Letterman, although a monologue really isn't the same as doing 30 minutes of stand up. Russell Peters, Bobcat Goldthwait and Emo Phillips all deserve mention as well. Bobcat is hilarious at standup, especially if you've heard his act lately. |
Past: George Carlin
Present: Bill Burr, Louis C.K. |
