Richard Pryor
Andrew Dice Clay

so is this going to be standup comedians or comedy actors in general. I think there should be a seperation even tho a lot of stand up guys went onto film/TV

I am thinking of including all of em under one roof. Pretty sure a stand-up will win in the end.

A lot of the Python guys can easily stand on their own but the only guy that even approaches Cleese solo is Eric Idle in my opinion. Jim Gaffigan is great and Jay Leno's stand-up is solid if you ever get a chance to see it. I doubt any of those guys would win but why not throw them in there? Bob Sagat and Joe Rogan are two you might consider throwing in as their stand-up takes you totally by surprise.

How could you separate folks like Robin Williams who has had a hugely successful career in both categories?

I always liked Joe Rogan.

Norm MacDonald

Hell yes, I love his stand-up and Dirty Work is one of my favorite comedies to this day.




Haven't seen that clip MD, funny stuff! Rogan's always been pretty good but nobody expects the style of comedy he busts out.

Okay I think we are pretty much set to go...

First match up in a few...

First to 5 wins.

I never knew Joe Rogan did standup comedy I always thought of him as the Fear Factor guy. So he did comedy before that show or after?

Well you would rate Williams on his standup performances not his film roles
