Top comedian of all-time is a hard and subjective question but I think we can agree any one of these choices would be worthy of the honor

Eddie Murphy George Carlin Jimmy Fallon Richard Pryor

  1. Jimmy Fallon, whose famous line “Day One. Jumping in” will forever reverberate through the hallowed halls of bluesky comedy

    Only overshadowed by his second line, “Hey”

  2. I dunno, when you really think about it, does George Carlin really deserve to stand next to Jimmy Fallon? Feels like he's just a space filler for a spot that should go to Carlos Mencia or Dane Cook.

  3. He’s such a toad & no matter how reactive he is against Trump today, we know his character is as flimsy as wet toast & he could flipflop at any moment and Probly should

  4. Jimmy Fallon doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in the same Universe as Pryor or Carlin. He’s a mugger, a phony 4th wall breaker. He’s not even a Good comedian.

  6. This isn't a fresh observation or anything but people who don't get it always have at least four emoji in their display name.

  7. Only one of them was so funny that he himself could not stop laughing at what he was saying and that has to count for something

  8. I was biting in earnest about some others to consider (Kaufman, Chaplin, Keaton, Sellers) and only then i saw you put ff’n Fallon there.

  9. If you think we can agree you have your head up your ass.

    Fallon and Murphy aren't the peers of the others or Marx or Keaton

  11. Swap out Carlin for Dane Cook and Kevin Hart in Richard Pryor. Eddie Murphy can stay, but only Coming 2 America, Eddie.

  12. You just wanna start sh*t, right? 🤣🤣🤣

    This needs all manner of qualifiers.

    Red Foxx is missing. That’s only your first error. Moms Mabley is your second. Bernie Mac, Sam Kinison, Robin Harris all missing. Fallon on par with Pryor? Murphy on par with Carlin or Pryor?🥴

  13. First time I ever got wasted was 4/10/92.

    I was visiting a friend at college and someone got the news that Sam Kinison had died. We had a giant listening party in the dorm lounge and the booze flowed like angry screams.

  14. fallon, for how he healed the nation through his home shows during the pandemic, just thinking about those pop song covers done on toy instruments is literally healing my long covid

  15. i hadn’t seen a recent picture of fallon in years, his head is completely normal still and in no way is he turning into a baldwin

  16. I think that picture is after he tore his finger off because he's a fall-down drunk. And that's not even the funniest drug-induced mishap out of those four comics!
