I would second this. Big Jim Gaffigan fans as well.

I remember Joe Rogan being a celebrity judge on The Last Comic Standing... and he ripped that gay comedian Ant for stealing material. And Buddy Hackett, another celebrity judge, defended Ant and ripped Joe Rogan for even bringing it up.

Joe talked about this on the Stern show and said he later found out why Buddy ripped him. Buddy himself stole material during his heyday.

I heard Joe Rogan rip Mencia for stealing material. I don't know if it is true, but he was on a radio station here in Pittsburgh last year, and he said Mencia steals material.

George Lopez was on Howard Stern and claimed Mencia stole 13 minutes of his bits when he had an HBO special. He also said he threw Mencia up against the wall, which Mencia doesn't deny. Mencia claims the physical altercation was because Lopez was "jealous" of him.

Rogan had a blog going on his website about all the stuff between him and Mencia. apparently all the rumors were true, Mencia rips other comedians off.

Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock

Rock is hilarious, and Chappelle is hilarious,i got an old tape somewhere,i recorded a 30 min stand-up special he did on showtime years ago, that was f'in funny.

top 4 guys..

jim gaffigan
dave attell
steven wright ( in his prime)
ellen degeneres. (she is hilarious)

dane cook is so overrated. not funny at all. frank caliendo is super, but it gets boring after awhile.. he imitates the same people and says the same things over and over again.

also, mitch hedberg was great. i hate lewis black with a passion. and the guy who annoys me the most.. by far.... is Jeremy Hotz.. i don't know if you americans know him, he's canadian. this guy annoys me. i hate the way he talks..

i do like Gaffigan, and those others. i seen Lewis Black,Dave Attell and Mitch Hedberg at the Louisville Palace before. also saw Wright there, and i have also seen Seinfeld, Rick Pitino and his sons sat right by us at that show
Cook is overrated, that Hotz guy, i only seen a 30 minute special on Comedy central years ago. he was ok, nowhere near being a top comedian, but not near the bottom either.

Stanhope is great. I love his opinions on things. He called the guy that printed the abortion flyers and told him it was the lowest form of child pornography there is. That was classic

Stanhope is funny, i've never seen him live though. he was on a local radio station one morning talking about comedy being subjective and an acquired taste for some. he said something about how anyone will show up at a comedy show and alot of people think its going to be like Jay Leno doing Tonight Show jokes all clean and stuff. he said people will get offered free tickets and just show up thinking "all this is going to be so sweet" and then they get me. he said "who gets offered tickets to a concert and doesn't ask who is it before deciding whether to go, but in comedy people just show up thinking its going to be all family friendly"


Carlin is probably the best all of time, cause he makes you think, Pryor was great also, and Cosby in his prime, actually Cosby just came here in Louisville or is coming , i saw some ads for his show in the paper.
