Our Best Loved Comedians

Our Best Loved Comedians

this one is dedicated to everyones favorite Comedians. Everyone from broadway, hollywood & all the stand up entertainers that make us laugh & feel good.
Taijasi sparked the idea for Gilda, so thought it would make a good topic & bring back some good memories.

the first one & one of my favorites is Gilda Radner. So many goofy things that she was into. One of them i always liked was Rosanna Danna. & then we she played with Todd & sang Barbara Streisand on the piano, & the two would get stuck in the sofa.
then when she did that dance with Steve Martin!!! OMG she was all over the place like a rag doll.
then the one skit where she plays the armenian girl who does gymnastics the the one where Gilda plays that little girl in the bedroom & she keeps running into the door & jumping on the bed.
Saturday Night Live. what a bunch of crazy people.
do you guys remember any of them?


who are the people who make you laugh?

Re: Our Best Loved Comedians

We just had a "Best 50 comedians" TV show last week in the UK - some great clips - there are a lot of very talented people about, whether doing stand-up or sitcom format.

Bill Hicks always had a huge impression on me when I was younger - he could sometimes labour a point, but his use of cutting social and political observation underlined a point for me, and that is that the best comedy is about representing truth.

Carol Burnet had a great show with Tim Conway. so many episodes & characters that make me laugh so hard. they are just goofballs & i love that when they do so many silly things that they themselves can't stop laughing when performing live.

Bob Newhart was another one to see the world through someone elses eyes. & then there is Jackie Gleason who never read a script it was all done as he went along.


Brian, I think the best comedy does represent the truth & it can be from all views & walks of life.
