Once again stand up is the focus. I think some of these names are more famous for acting in movies vs actual stand up.
I don't disagree but a name like Ellen DeGeneres comes to mind as being hard to distinguish. She had some great standup in the 80s, I think she was coined "funniest person" at one point around this time. But today I have a completely different view of her career.

This maybe the toughest one yet because comedy is so subjective. If this goes south it could mean the end of these cf tourneys and I don't want that.

This is gonna be a long list, so I hope some my favorites aren't in the "last 4 out", I'm not putting like Chappelle that I know they'll be in.

Steven Wright
John Mulaney
Tom Segura
Mark Normand
Jimmy O Yang
Hannibal Buress
Natasha Leggero

We could also do a hate list too, that can be the last 4. ;)

Sklar brothers might be my least favorite comedians ever. They are dreadful.
They started out decent, but their act devolved into talking over each other and then landing on a punchline together.

Hindsight, Smothers Brothers or Lucas Brothers would have been better inclusions.

But "least favorite" ? Have you never seen Andrew Dice Clay?

I have a feeling the hate list could get caved pretty quickly

Also this thread would be a great place for people wanting a certain person in to put in here clips or direct us to certain special they have done you really like so committee could get a feel if we aren't familiar.

I have a very wide range of comedy I like and even a chunk mentioned so far I've not seen/heard some of their stuff.

You were not around probably when dice hit. He was off the charts. If you get offended easy, Dice is not for you, that is for sure .

Will have to see whether they are Top 64 though. Lots of big names above. These are several I have been to that are pretty popular today. I will find some clips later.
