For sure nobody that started out in the last 15 years. Automatically eliminated.

For Winter Olympics time, I always loved this Seinfeld bit:

If Cosby wasn't such a damn rapist, I'd have him on the list.

You know the worst part of it all is the hypocrisy.

They haven’t aged well, his sketch and movie stuff has actually held up better. I probably should have put him in my top 4 comedic actor or sketch category I did if I thought it over again, but really no longer enjoy the standup specials.

Some of the stuff he did on SNL like going undercover as a white guy laid the ground for Chapelle show, but as a standup it’s almost painful to watch at times to me now and I’m somebody who wore out my audio tapes of Raw and Delirious in the 80s.

I agree with all of that. He had so much swagger and style then, which was very much in keeping with the 80s, as well as sort of shocking and new. But I just - the ice cream man bit is arguably the best, it's cute and universally understood, but it's not a bit that makes me laugh out loud or anything.

You know the worst part of it all is the hypocrisy.

No, Norm, the worst part is the raping.

George Carlin- Genius, his stuff still holds up so well.
Steve Martin- Just loved how versatile he is, plus he plays a banjo for gosh sakes.
Robin Williams- Just amazing energy.
Will Ferrell- For some reason I just enjoy his movies and humor, though I know he isn't for every one. The Other Guys is so funny to me.

HM: When I was growing up Sandlers They're All Gonna Laugh at You was played continuously for an entire summer. Doesn't hold up that well to me now but I definitely loved his early stuff.

I would sub Jonathan Winters for Will Ferrell. Winters is a lot like Williams without the drugs.

I was really excited to hear that Nate Bargatze is coming to Wells Fargo in May on a Saturday. Then I saw the price of the cheap tickets in 300 level for $123? WTF are we doing?
