Not a bad choice in the bunch. Guest mentioned the Groove Tube.....now often forgotten but hilarious and an early work for Richard Belzer and Chevy Chase.

The Marx Brothers, Laurel and Hardy, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd. You have to love Harold Lloyd, a true genius..........Cary Grant was a wonderful comedic performer and I think the first "leading man" type who realized his comic potential ala Leslie Nielson and others later. Danny Kaye, completely underrated......

The guys who came out of Sid Caesar's staff are some of my favorites.....Mel Brooks, Neil Simon, Woody Allen........Add in later days the beautiful stuff done by Guest and Levy and their gang of improv pros....................

Like I said, I haven't seen a bad choice here and yeah Hawk....I like Howard the Duck myself!
