Saw Holbrook in Sacramento as Twain from the second row. Unbelievable presentation. I love wit and i think you have to include that as comedy.
Mark Steyn is funny and very biting on our side.
I like Garrison keillor (don’t not me yet) Despite all th liberalism’s and his last year attack on Trump every week, he was always a great story teller. His week in Lake Wobegon makes him Twain-like for my money and his voice is memorable and unique. The gut that replaced him i a great musician, but the storytelling is gone.
I find Lily Gomlyn funny and i know she’ll slip in some very liberals tuff but she has a creative mind.
I saw Prior with a mostly dressed up back crowd at the circae star in the Bay Area. Patty LaBelle opened. It wa son of the vest shows I have ever scene.
I go back to Sid Cesear, Groucho Marx (one of my all times) and laughed at the Real mcCoys wit my immigrant grandfather who barely spoke English.
Seinfeld never works blue. I ;ike comedians in the car getting coffee and his series. seen him twice live. Would pay again. He loves the work and other comedians. He’s the best since Williams died.
Rpbun Williams worked but but his mind was unbelievable. A dirtier version of Jonathan Winters. I like both of them.
No one will ver top Korman and conway or Burnett in that curtain dress. The look and the longest laugh ever submitted as evidence.
I’m 70 and comedy is different, but i don’t see my kids looking at coms or laughing at etertainment. If they do, it ill be streaming or web sites like the one Will Ferrell started.
Toime changes everything. I watched the most episodes of the history of comedy on CNN and they showed broadway clips and stand up from the 50s and 60 and tonight women comics. But humor changes and time changes and some onus are ridding into the sunset. We ill always need political jesters and finny people I just wish a new mprrt saul of Lenny bruce would emerge to use the envelope while;e i can watch them/
Thanx for the thread ROTFLMAO
It wasn’t the cheese student who was the worst part, it was the owner who fired the comedian. People have to stand up and tell snowflakes and PCers, STFU.
He said in an interview that that sketch was inspired by an aunt of his in Quebec. Fantastic cook, made a wonderful bouillabaise...and that was how she began it, pureeing an entire fish in the blender.
Maybe the best.
For those who don't know; he was a US marine in WWII.
Many, many of the great entertainers of his generation served in the military.
They were patriots, unlike most of the modern day entertainers.

winters appeared with Carson’s predecessor Jack pair many times. Paar would have him and object and Winters would do 5 minutes and Paar who was a reserved guy would be in stitches. I remember when her turned a stick into a fishing rod and did the sounds of casting the line and seeing the fish in

“I watched a few old episodes of All In The Family and no, it could not be televised today. All ethnic humor.”
Gloria: Daddy, do you know how many people commit suicide with guns every year? (Arguing about gun control.)
Archie: Would you feel better, little goil, if all those people jumped off of buildings?
And they think Archie was the dumb one.
carey said he was picked by Carson’s comedian scout one night. He wasn’t scheduled but on the list. One day they had a cancellation and they ant Carey. But there were no cell phones and the calls missed him as he went around LA that day. Three months later they finally booked him and he killed with his self depreciating humor about how he looked.
Thanks!
Mel Brooks started there as a bus boy
One of the many “comics” that I would try to watch and sit there stone faced the whole time, not even cracking a smirk at his attempt at comedy.
Now, I know that's not right ... I have it on good authority that he actually got his start ...
... in Judea.
I miss Gracie Allen she died way too early. Burns was a straight man and had subtle wit, but she was a great comic with facial expressions and a wacky naiveté.
When Kennison told the starving African refugees to move someplace where food would grow, I laughed for days. My wife at the time was sure i was the sickest person she ever met.

Me too...now I mostly watch French and Italian dramas on MHz Networks (no cable necessary, they air on subchannels of broadcast stations).
“Un Village Francais” (A French Village), set in a small French town during the German occupation of WW2, has been one of the best, most thought-provoking series I’ve seen in a long time. Many times during the recent election I would look at the political unrest going on, then think of something that happened during the series, and tell myself “things could be a whole lot worse”.

and that was just Part 1. No one names a movie Part 1 and then doesn’t d a sequel. No one out Brooks.
