His stand-up is actually really funny (he has a bunch of classic albums you can get on iTunes) and he has had about a dozen good TV shows.<BR/><BR/>I also think Redd Foxx is worth consideration. For me, its blaspheme (sp?) to have Dave Chappel on the list and not these 2.<BR/><BR/>Also, what about David Letterman? He's hella successful.ZukeMortyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08766844528573035799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575734.post-64971216273392352652007-04-30T16:39:00.000-06:002007-04-30T16:39:00.000-06:00Cosby's definitely an icon and very successful, bu...Cosby's definitely an icon and very successful, but I really didn't find his show all that funny. After 8 seasons, it's hard for any stand up comedian to keep a weekly show at a top-notch level. Cosby would have definitely filled out a top 10 list.<BR/>And I'm sure there are some great stand up comics I'm completely skipping over, everybody please let me know who I missed.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00746781363323254414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575734.post-17364853315336249102007-04-30T14:44:00.000-06:002007-04-30T14:44:00.000-06:00This is a good list.

But I think you have to have Bill Cosby in the top 5 because he was the first real comic to get his own show.<BR/>Not to mention he is insanely rich because of his stand up. <BR/>People like Seinfeld are popular because of his show, not because of his stand up.Shmorghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05678910994464707837noreply@blogger.com
