Great list, but where’s all the British people?? I think Jimmy Carr, Ross Noble, Rowan Atkinson, Billy Connolly, Jasper Carrott, Lee Evans, Jack Dee, Lenny Henry, Peter Kay, etc. deserve to be somewhere here too.

Sumil.
This is where I need your help.
If you want to help me put together a nice list of European comedians, I’d love to post it.
I live in NYC so it’s real easy for me to love DM, DC, EM and all the UCB people.
Email me, we’ll discuss..

Great list, but I have wonder about how Mitch Hedberg was forgotten? Certainly one of the best comedians of our generation.

how can you have any list of the greatest comedians without including Eddie Izzard?!

Bill Hicks, O.D.
how ironic

Actually Bill Hicks died of pancreatic cancer and not an OD. But he did love his drugs.

Stephen Wright. Woody Allen. Mel Brooks. Jack Benny. So many more. Where have you been all these years?
July 18th, 2007 at 2:39 am
Yes I know.
All amazing for sure just didn’t get there.
I also didn’t include Carlin, S. Martin and the Marx Bros.
This was 10 great comedians. Not the greatest of all time. Maybe in part 2.
