Tim Allen above Denis Leary? Eddie Izzard at 75? People don’t know what they’re talking about.
See, I don’t know, man. I mean, nobody knows Bob Saget is funny, because all they remember is him doing that fucking, goofy, boring as all hell sitcom Full House. Jerry Seinfeld idem dito. Redd Foxx is only known for that [i]shit[/i] Standford and Son or whatever the fuck that was called. David Letterman, same thing. Paul Reiser, same thing. There’s a lot we don’t know about these stand-up comedians.
Having Eddie Izzard below Dave Attell or Cedric the Entertainer, and having Dana Carvey or Dice-fucking-Clay on the list at all is a damned shame. But understand that these panelists are biased – their Americans, and most likely warm better to American humour than British humour, which might explain Izzards low score.
