The blue collar comedy tour was great
All of the guests on Tough Crowd are good

Jerry Seinfeld is gold too, and Chris Rock.

Haha, I saw a vote for The Amazing Jonathan. I remember he was on this episode of Lounge Lizards on Comedy Central. Didn't that show get cancelled after one episode?

I need to see Larry David's stand up act.

OH SHIT HOW COULD I POSSIBLY FORGET KEVIN SMITH?!?!?!

I saw rerun of Conan with Lewis Black and I saw him do the weather on Cold Pizza today and I was like yesssss.

Others:
Dave Attel
Slovin and Allen
The Amazing Johnathon

I'm not a big fan of the newer breed of comedians. It seems like every time I see a newer comedian, they act like a complete idiot/stoner, put a big emphasis on their nationality, or just love cussing. Occassionly I do find them funny, but I usually just skip the channel when I see them.

Question, does anyone besides me think that Robin Williams is SO freaking talented and smart that he is too fast to comprehend. I watch Live on Broadway and I struggle to laugh at a joke because he's just firing them out constantly. His apperance on The Actor's Studio was utterly amazing if you have never seen it.
