Hicks - don't know who he is.
Murphy - had his moments.

Myers - fantastic on SNL and in the Powers movies.

Connolly.

The man is a GOD.He's just spent the summer at my place[taranaki] filming a movie with Tom Cruise.Some of the legends that are circulating in this town just blow your mind.




Richard Pryor- was good[wrote most of Blazing Saddles for mel brooks]
George Carlin - never liked him,daft old coot.
John Cleese - has faded badly.Fawlty Towers hasn't aged that well.
Bill Murray -liked him in Stripes and Groundhog Day,that's all.
Robin Williams-nothing good since Good Morning Vietnam,and only parts of that.
Bill Hicks-who dat?
Eddie Murphy-"I'm your worst nightmare,a n*gg*r with a badge"48 hours -suuure
Chris Rock - not funny
Mike Myers - should have grown up by now.
Jim Carrey - should have been committed by now
Steve Martin-great standup.Shame about all the hangers-on spoiling his film work.

All of these guys are great comedians. Those of you who don't think Robin Williams can act haven't seen any of his good movies. Except for Bill Hicks (who's dead), they're all still hysterical in their own way.

Billy Connelly should be on any list of great modern comedians. If you don't know who he is, look him up somewhere (he's done some great stand up for HBO and was the teacher who replaced Howard Hessman on the American TV series "Head of the Class").

Mike Meyers has made some great movies were he wasn't playing a fool. Check "So I Married an Ax Murderer." By the way, he's Canadian, not British.

Great comedians missing: Denis Leary, Eddie Izzard, Anthony Clark (just off the top of my head).
