Easy question for me.
Hands down, the man: Doug Stanhope



Yours?

He actually has a joke about bass players thats pretty funny. Saying he should have played bass instead of doing comedy.

I don't have a favorite of all time, but at the moment I'd say Mitch Hedberg.

I have no favorites per say...

But Russell Peters has some good sketches.

But in general I tend to like British humor the most, Eddie Izzard for example.

Danny Kaye! He was fantastic.

Charlie Callas used to put me in stitches. Otherwise, I'd say Jack Benny or the Marx Brothers.

Some of the new people don't do much for me...but the TV program Whose Line is It Anyway has had me rolling more than once. All those guys are good.

Not the funniest comic ever, but Steven Wright is the one whose lines I remember nearly every day in one circumstance or another.

Him, Bill Hicks, Dave Attell, and Richard Pryor make up my Mount Rushmore of comedians.

Lately I've been getting plenty of laughs watching Larry David's work with Curb Your Enthusiasm. Bob Odenkirk is one of my favorite comedians of all time for his writing, Mr. Show, and his great cameo apperances in various projects.
