QUESTION OF THE DAY, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2021

[neely]

Good morning and Happy Wednesday! As the song goes, "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go." However, if you turn on the news the holiday is being somewhat overshadowed by other factors, e.g. Omicron, shipping shortages, unemployment, athletic teams cancelling games, even our vet has gone back to curbside only appointments. So what we need is a little laughter. I love to watch some of the British comedies such as: Keeping Up Appearances, Fawlty Towers, Are You Being Served? and Coupling. I also like to watch reruns of certain sitcoms and still laugh at Estelle Getty as Sophia, (The Golden Girls), Peter Boyle as Frank, (Everybody Loves Raymond), Michael Richards as Kramer, (Seinfeld), but the one comedian who I think was the most versatile was Robin Williams. My husband's new favorite comedian is Sebastain Maniscolco. Who's yours?

QUESTION OF THE DAY - WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE ENTERTAINMENT COMEDIAN?

 

[Morpheus1967]

Love Bill Burr. Completely politically incorrect and he does not care.

 

[Lari]

Robin Williams was pretty amazing. I used to enjoy Jay Leno when he did the tonight show, though some of his bits were way better than others.

I don't think I really have a favorite in that there's no one I go out of my way to listen to, but I do find Ken Jeong pretty amusing as a panelist on the Masked Singer!

Ken is something else. I love that show.

neely last night I watched Are You Being Served on Britbox and The Golden Girls on Hulu.

Waiting for God is another great British comedy that's on Britbox.

My all time favorite comedian is George Carlin. I also love the Blue Collar Comedy guys. Sam Kinison too.

 

[di and bob]

I love everyone on Third Rock From the Sun, Everybody Loves Raymond, Keeping Up Appearances, and Seinfeld.

 

[strider rose]

i like eddie murphy

 

[muffy]

George Carlin is my all time favorite comedian. I also like Bob Newhart and Wanda Sykes.

 

[Willowy]

I love everyone on Third Rock From the Sun

I love Third Rock from the Sun still, too.

Idk about my favorite comedian. I prefer British-style dry humor, Monty Python kind of stuff. Maybe Hugh Laurie.

Tina Fey is cool too.

 

[Tik cat's mum]

I like Jimmy Carr even though some of his jokes are just wrong. Peter kay is funny too.

 

[Kat0121]

I can't leave Carol Burnett, Phyllis Diller or Joan Rivers off my list.

 

[Talien]

My all time favorite comedian is George Carlin. I also love the Blue Collar Comedy guys. Sam Kinison too.

Yeah George Carlin was a legend in his own time. I don't think we'll see another like him again, though there are some who seem to be making an effort to emulate him.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

I like Hannah Gadsby and John Mulaney for stand-up and then for comedy in general I like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Nicole Byer, Steve Martin, Tiffany Haddish, and Issa Rae.

 

[NY cat man]

Red Skelton or Lucille Ball in a toss up.

 

[Whenallhellbreakslose]

I like so many. As actor comedians go, I loved Robin Williams. I cried alot when he passed. Besides RW, I like Jim Carrey, Will Ferrell and Eddie Murphy. I also liked George Carlin. I think Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett were two of the best comedic actresses ever. They were special. Pure Comedy Gold!!!

 

[MoochNNoodles]

I’m fickle about comedy I guess. Its got to be either family friendly or at least not full of profanity. Robin Williams probably fits the bill the most in movies. Steve Martin also. I do love The Golden Girls even if they are a bit more raunchy than I realized when I was younger.

When I need to laugh there are a few “youtubers” that I like. Some are teachers and very relatable with having young kids and homeschooling. Another is a nurse and hes enjoyable because I can see several of my family members bring their nurse personalities home.

I watch some from a British comedian Michael Mcintyre. Most of whats been on Facebook has been great!

 

[Talien]

Well, if we're including actors too.

Leslie Neilson, Rick Moranis, John Candy, Michael Winslow, Bubba Smith.....yeah pretty much the entire cast of Police Academy and Spaceballs.

.....That's what I need to get myself for Christmas, the Police Academy movies on DVD.

 

[Jem]

My taste in comedy is so wide that I can't narrow it down that much. I love the oh so wrong and offensive comedy like Jimmy Carr. The raunchy comedy like Amy Schumer. The horribly overly profane comedy like Chris Rock. The innocent, stupid and hillbilly comedy like the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. The genius of Jeff Dunham. And many more in between like Wanda Sykes, John Pinette, Jeremy Hotz, Mitch Hedburg...and of course the greats like Robin Williams and George Carlin. There are just so many that there are some I don't even know their names off hand. I'll be watching some stand up on TV and be like "Oh! I like this guy/girl, s/he's funny!" then completely forget about them until the next time I see them on TV...and be like, "Oh yeah! I remember them, I like this dude/chick!"...

 

[lorie d.]

There are so many funny comedians I can't pick just one. One British program I really enjoy is Keeping Up Appearances, it's so funny.
