I didn't watch much of her TV show. I do watch her current talk show and she's very funny. So were her HBO specials.
There was once a man who was all obsessed with the strangest things. Like Nestle Quik, original cdr's and Afro-sheen. He built himself his dome, never left his home, decided life is much better when you're on your own. You might not want my opinion, but he coulda been on to something good.

I thought so to, now we know better.
As far as funny goes, Jim Carrey used to be, no more.
David Spade is hillarious.
Sam Kinison was classic.
Brian Reagen and The Amazing Jonathon are my favorite stand-ups!
Chris Farley was such a spaz I had to laugh!
George Carlinwas great. Oh wait, This is who's not funny, I got carried away.
My dislikes are: Rosanne Barr
Rosie O'Donnal
Eddie Murphy, now.
I'm gonna be hated for this one, but Peter Sellers.
Chris Rock.
Polly Shore, seen him at the Improve and all he could do was gripe how Adam Sandler was getting all his parts.
Carrot Top.
All the Waynes brothers except Damon.
and Tom Hanks, but I like his serious movies.
Enough for now, comedy is so hit and miss, i doubt there is one comedien everyone would agree on. Some if seen on t.v. that didn't even make me chuckle, but live was a whole nother story.

"Lesbo" is short for lesbian, but it is considered derogatory, just as "homo" for homosexual man may be a short version of the word but is a slur.
At least it's that way in NYC.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.

Willfully ignorant AND woefully out of touch. Agreed -- it was the right call.

Never saw Saturday Night Live in the '80's. After the first season it went rapidly down hill, and I stopped watching it.

I find Ellen D. sweet and funny. Never saw Ellen, but the few times I've caught her talk show I've liked it.
May I add Jason Alexander to the list? The only reason he was funny in Seinfeld was due to the writing -- and because he was aping Ralph Kramden.
