    I never really got Poundstone's standup, but she made me laugh many times on Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me. I'll have to try to find my favorite clip.

    From that list, I'll go Judy Tenuta by a nose ahead of Carlos Mencia.

    I think Doug Stanhope is the male version of Lisa Lampanelli (or vice versa). Both think it's HILARIOUS to see how off-color and horribly over-the-line they can be in their acts - without anything really funny about it.

    Another one who hasn't been mentioned who has never made me crack a smile is Emo Phillips (sp?).

    Bob Hope retired this crown long ago. Nice man but wow his jokes were lame.

    George Lopez . Can't figure him out. I think that you have to be Mexican or Puerto Rican to fully appreciate his humor.

    Agreed on Lopez. Never got that.

    Instead of taking us out for our annual nice steak dinner to thank us for busting our ass at our major trade show in Vegas, my old boss decided to get us tickets to go see Rita Rudner. Oof.

    I saw Whoopi in the mid 1990s and I don't think a single person in a very large theater laughed once... It was trainwreck bad and based on talking to people who went the following night, it didn't appear that she just had a bad night.

    I love Kathy Griffin.

    Dane Cook and Carlos Mencia are funny, but they steal jokes... End of story...

    Cook wins points for his stint addressing this on CK's show...

    I would throw Roseanne Barr into the mix here. She has not been funny for at least a decade...

    Carrot Top - I've never seen him live, but most of the people I know who have, were surprised how much they enjoyed his show.
    Carlos Mencia - I saw Carlos a couple times about a decade ago and holy fuck is he funny... But he's sociopathic about how he steals jokes...
    Jimmy Fallon - His show is great.
    Louis Anderson - I've never thought he was funny, but he does pretty well for himself touring.
    Kathy Griffin - Hilarious.
    Sinbad - Does he even still tour?
    Dane Cook - Not my favorite, but I don't think he's as bad as some do.
    Judy Tenuta - Is this 1986?
    Whoopi Goldberg - Dreadfully unfunny.
    Richard Lewis - I saw one of his specials about 20 years ago and thought he was pretty funny. I always liked him on Stern's show.
