jcc64 replied: LOVE Chris Rock
I saw this guy on HBO once- his name is Louis C.K.- never saw him before or since, but he was absolutely hilarious!
I also like George Carlin, though he is less of a comedian now and more of a social commentator (whose views I happen to agree with).

Lewis Black

Kathy Griffin
Larry the Cable Guy (even though I think he's getting less funny as he goes)
Chris Rock
I also love Tina Fey & Amy Poehler together. 
jcc64 replied: I forgot- how could I- Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart. Can't live w/o those guys!
Maddie&EthansMom replied: Well, I mentioned Anjelah Johnson
I also like Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Frank Caliendo, George Lopez, Larry the Cable Guy...there are also some females but I can't think of their names.
msoulz replied: I'm not good at remembering names, but I like the guys who can make the everyday stuff funny without profanity. I haven't seen Bill Cosby in the funny business for a while, but back when I was a kid/young adult I loved him. I laughed so hard as a teenager watching him talk about "pull my finger" because I though it was just my dad that did that!  And I recall him doing a skit on tri-focul glasses which was hilarious even before I could relate to it.  And now I think George Carlin is similar and I have seen some other ones too but names escape me. I just don't like the ones who swear every other word.
Oh yes, and Colbert and Stewart are awesome!
Danalana replied:
I'm with you. I love humor immensely, but I don't enjoy listening to somebody who thinks they have to be nasty!
My2Beauties replied: Chris Rock, George Carlin, Bernie Mack, Cedric the Entertainer and Samore
George Carlin is my fav, he can make any everyday thing we do into something absolutely hilarious and make it sound so stupid!!

I love, love, LOVE Stephen Colbert!
My3LilMonkeys replied: I love Dane Cook, George Carlin and Kathy Griffin. I really like some of the earlier stuff from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, but it seems the more tours they do the worse they get.
Teesa®© replied: Blaine Capatch [ooh, humina humina], Steady Eddy and, of course, Robin Williams. Oh wait, Jeff Foxworthy too, he rox!!
Anyone ever hear his, "You know you're a Canadian when..."? TFF!!
wcs40110 replied: Dane cook and Jeff Dunham. hands down.
ron white... hes crude and rude but hes funny.
redchief replied: Jeff Dunham is a riot. I also like (can't wait until Jeanne reads this) Lewis Black - I don't believe there is anyone who does topical comedy better.
PrairieMom replied: eddie izzard
HuskerMom replied: Denis Leary! I've got both of his cd's and they're hilarious. And Larry the Cable Guy, he's pretty funny and I'm bias too because he's a Husker fan.

Ron White
Bob Marley...he's from Maine
Celestrina replied: I love going to see stand-up comedians in concert! My favorites are:
1. Robin Williams (saw him!)
2. Lewis Black (I am dying to see him, even though his new show is only ok)
3. Jon Stewert
4. George Carlin (saw him twice!)
grapfruit replied: *Jeff Dunham (of course)
*Daniel Tosh is SO funny, but SO dirty and off color. Not cursing, just out there.
*Stephen Lynch (does music and is wicked cute) - look him up on YouTube
*Mike Armstrong (Clean AND funny!) - and good live
*Mike Birbiglia - but he has a certain brand of humor that I don't think everyone gets
*Lewis Black is growing on me
*Caroline Rhea is a riot
*Tim Bedore has a great segment every week on Bob and Tom (Vague but True) He also does "The Animal Conspiricy" in his stand up, he uses a power point presentation guys. Too funny!
*Heywood Banks - CLEAN and SUPER funny (he sings)
*Harlen Williams - Mostly Clean and really really funny. Look him up on IMBD.com b/c chances are you've seen him in a movie or two. He's been in Down Periscope, Because of Winn Dixie, Dumb and Dumber to name a few off the top of my head.
*Lisa Lampinely (sp?) - SUPER dirty and raunchy
Man, I need to go onto www.bobandtom.com and see whoelse I typically listen to. Some of their favorites are just great. 
If you guys want to listen to a GREAT morning show log on (weekdays) to www.q95.com between like 5 or 6 and 10am. Bob and Tom ROCK!!! They are syndicated (they're out of Indianapolis, IN) so some people get them locally (like here in Dayton they're on 104.7 WTUE).
(It seems like all we watch/listen to is comedy  )
I'll try and think of some more
