Colbert. He is one of those guys that just keeps going and going.

Best part is that he doesn't laugh at his own jokes.

I like the guys (like the above mentioned Brian Regan and Jim Gaffigan) who makes other comedians crack up. I've heard both of them on the radio with other comedians in the booth (especially on Bob and Tom) and they get the hosts and their fellow comics laughing so hard they have to pause the show to compose themselves.

You can tell when someone is just humoring another comic or just laughing to be heard, but those guys leave them gasping for air.

Same with Stephen Wright, I've heard him stop a show with one soft spoken, low key line that just brings everything to a screeching halt.

For energy, can't beat Greg Hahn. You almost have to be on meth to keep up with him.

Stole my dad's 8-track of Richard Pryor's "Bicentennial ******".  I was the coolest kid on the block.  Then I discovered George Carlin.  Carlin has got to be the best stand-up eva.  His timing and wit are impeccable.  Then I discovered Mitch Hedberg.  He took the stoner comic persona to the next level.

"You will never see an escalator with a sign on it that says 'escelator temporarily out of order.'  You will only see an escalator with a sign on it that says 'escalator temporarily stairs."

Lewis Black is also genius.  He's like the intellectual Sam Kineson.

I used to like Carlin until his routines turned into nothing but anti-everyone else rants. It was always there, but now its all he has anymore.

His old stuff is still genius, but his new stuff.... I change the station when he comes on XM.

I have to agree.  On his last HBO special where he ended the show on a ten minute long "There is no god" rant, he lost me.  

His earlier shows from the eighties were some of the most funny things I've ever seen.

Heavy Metal fans are buying Heavy Metal records, taking the records home, listening to the records and then blowing their heads off with shotguns? Where's the problem? That's an unemployment solution right there, folks! It's called natural selection.

tried eating vegetarian. I felt like a wimp going into a restaurant. "What do you want to eat sir? Broccoli?" Broccoli's a side dish, folks. Always was, always will be, OK! When they ask me what I want, I say: What do you think I want? This is America. I want a bowl of raw red meat right now.
