Well Dammit, I'm gonna take a stand here! I think that Chaplin, Keaton, Kauffman AND Spaw are hilarious!...and Clinton makes me laugh at times too (Hammond....although Bill had his moments)

Last night after driving 11 hours I plunked into the couch in the basement and turned on the tube. After I felt secure in the knowledge that Dick Chaney was still alive (or at least more so than Al Gore, I did some channel surfing. Caught an absolutely brilliant 10 minutes by a comedian who shares a great deal with Kauffman...Rich Hall. I think he was on Letterman and he did a parody of an incarcerated country singer. I can't tell you how hilarious (and boundary pushing) this was. Did anyone else see it. I don't know for sure, but I think Rich Hall may even be riskier (for TV exposure) than Kauffman was.

Wow! Brother Theodore!

Anybody remember Professor Irwin Corey? Now THERE was a strange act! Keeerist! I love weird humour.
