Lopez isn't your favorite anymore? Do you still have him top 5 of all time?

Many years ago, young couples put off having sex until after SNL ended!

I wanted to cry for Robert DeNiro & Robin Williams Saturday night, having to sit there and endure the "What's Up Wit Dat" shit. I don't even consider Keenan Thompson a comic. The white guy that does the Running Man in the jogging suit during those skits is frickin' hilarious though....

(Props on the Chelsea Handler pic, BTW. Damn...)

I was gonna say Jeff Dunham, but I never watched his show, so I didn't realize the show had been cancelled for a year now. And how have we gone this far and not had a mention of Jimmy Fallon?

Jimmy Fallon's show is very Conan-esque from when Conan was just starting out in late night. He's awkward and still trying to feel his way through things. This is like his late night puberty. I think in a few years we're going to see if he's really got it. Some of the jokes and skits on his show are really funny. He's just really bad with the monologue right now, and still awkward in the interviews. But I think he's already come a long way...and I think he'll end up being really good down the road.



If we're going to have a "least funny comedian" thread...we cannot go any further without mentioning Dan Whitney:

The dude is the absolute worst...and I'm not sure why he is as popular as he is. I think he sucks, but that would be my opinion...and his latest national tour numbers would prove me otherwise.

Agreed, it isn't as if Fallon is terrible as much as it is he's done nothing impressive yet still gets opportunities (his own show, hosting award shows, etc.). It would be like the LA Lakers giving Brian Scalabrine a 6 year $100M contract to start at Center. Just unwarranted.

Just goes to show the intelligence of the people who think he's funny......they don't think that he's playing a character.

I think Larry the Cable Guy is talented, but not in a funny way. I mean his voice is perfect for voice acting, and I think that he was perfect in the Pixar movie Cars. Funny? Not so much.
