John Candy...loved him in Uncle Buck

Leslie Neilson...Airplane, etc

I initially wasnt a big Ray Romano fan, but as his series has grown, i like him a lot. Same for Tim there from Home Improvement. Some comedians floursih on TV...some do not (i.e. Jeff Foxworthy)

errr..Candy and Neilson are Canadians (can they be considered Hollywood?)..."was" in the case of Candy.

My vote goes to Mike Myers...oh sorry, he is Canadian too

Jim Carey...no, he's Canadian too.

I'VE GOT IT....Jerry Lewis...or is he French?

He was a genius. Most didn't understand him.

Nobody understood Andy. There's just those that think they did.

Robin williams is a thief, he steals most of his routine.

Best comic....Joe Rogan.....seen his stuff several times. Wife thought I didn't like his stuff at one show cause I wasn't laughing. I told her I couldn't breath from all the laughing.

Dave chapelle is really funny to, probably 2nd on the list of funny.

damn left out chris farley, now thats funny.

I find that a little bit of Jim Carey goes a long way. He's a bit "over the top" a lot of the time.

I always thought Cary Grant was a very talented light-comic in some of his movies.

Phew, no votes for Bob Saget of the ole American's Funniest Home Video's host-fame and Full House. Man, I groaned so much whenever he was on...the other guy...who was also an America's Funniest Home Videos and did the voice of the Jackelope (Fast and fast can be, you'll never catch me!) used to crack me up.

Robin Williams is hilarious, his last HBO special was fabulous

Carrot Top used to be pretty good too...loved his whacky inventions

Martin Lawrence is pretty funny, but with some of the black comedians, they go into picking on whites and that's all ok. We pick on the blacks and good grief, here comes the reparations folks...

Oh come on, don't forget the classics! Groucho Marx is by far one of the funniest actors in Hollywood history.

Robin Williams last HBO special was definatly funny! I laughed so much I hurt

But best comedian of all time would have to be George Carlin.
