April 4Apr 4 Robin Williams in his stand up days was tremendous. Buddy Hackett was also phenomenal. Others not mentioned here yet, and criminally so: Don Rickels, Sam Kinison, Bob Newhart, Rodney Dangerfield I'd take any of them over Robert Schimmel, as well as several of those mentioned above.

Phil struck me like Robin Williams in the way that he was still “on” - even without the cameras were not rolling. It’s like he would allow everyone in on the masquerade, but really restrict the amount of people who knew anything about the real him. Anyway, Phil was a genius.

April 4Apr 4 Pryor is the first to come to my mind. No lack of love for a bunch of other names mentioned though.

April 4Apr 4 And we were driving on here a day across the desert, and it occurred to us they wouldn’t be world hunger if you people would live where the food is! You live in a desert, understand that?! You live in a fucking desert!! Nothing grows out of here! Nothing’s going to grow out of here!

April 5Apr 5 Quite a lot of really excellent choices here. I approve of most of them as "Greats". But the top... Never a doubt: it's Carlin.
April 5Apr 5 My pick is Hedberg, but the also-ran list is strong: Carlin, Norm, Shandling, David Brenner, Rodney When Steve Martin eventually dies, he will be tops on my list. All-time fave.
