Not even close, Bob Hope. A lot of other good ones such as Jack Benny, but no one could touch Hope. He was also somewhat conservative.

I agree with Red Skelton. He could act and he could perform standup comedy. We saw him at the Arizona State fair in the 1980’s. He had us falling out of our seats just reading a poem about frogs.

I'm going out on a limb and proclaiming the great W. C. Fields as our greatest comic Actor.

If you really wanted to go out on a limb, you'd say Bill Cosby.

And who do I have to say to win the Oldster Derby?

Fred Allen? Fanny Brice? Eddie Cantor? Bert Williams?

Barack Obama.

Do you remember that one about “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”?

What a joke!
