Hard to pick just one, aww! How about a top FIVE:
Lucille Ball
Dana Carvey
John Cleese
Michael Palin
Steve Martin

(Gasp, only one is a woman and she is no longer with us!)

Most female comedians these days are a little too tart.... What do you think?

Anyway all of these guys can make you laugh your head off from their physical comedy, facial expressions, impressions and enthusiastic behavior. Very talented!

My all time favorite is Chris Rock. His delivery is one of smartly told wit and astoundingly simple observations, He seem to be able to bring interesting viewpoints to sensitive topics with ease and humor.

Why, it is Mel Brooks, of course! He made so many memorable comedies which springboarded most of the comedians that we find funny.

Life literally abounds in comedy if you just look around you.
Mel Brooks

As I have become older what I have found to be funny has changed. So based on my age (not too old) here would be my responses.

Childhood: Red Skelton. We used to watch his show on TV every week. He was hilarious and always took pride in the fact that he could make you laugh at things without being vulgar or offending to anyone.

Teen - young adult: Bill Cosby. We had all of his albums, "Why Is There Air?", "Wonderfulness", and "Bill Cosby Is A Very Funny Fellow, Right", etc. Great story telling that was so true to life.

As an adult I have found that there aren't as many comedians that make me laugh. But there a couple that I do enjoy, Jeff Foxworthy and Jeff Dunham.

Jerry Lewis. I loved him in The Nutty Professor, The Bellhop, Family Jewels, Cinderfella, The Ladies Man, The Errand Boy and more. I liked his movies better solo than with Dean Martin. Didn't care for so much singing in the films. Never failed to make me laugh.

This is a tough question... I would have to say one of the all time best is George Carlin.

Easy answer. Others come close, but Carlin's consistency combined with longevity put him ahead of the rest.

I'm not sure who exactly is the Funniest on earth. I haven't been around long enough to be able to watch all of the comedians.

But, Since I haven't seen anyone suggest him yet, I'll go ahead. Dave Chappelle. I don't know if he's the funniest out there, but you can't deny his stand up. And anytime I see him show up in a movie, I just start laughing at the sound of his voice. You gotta love his white guy voice! XD

This is really hard as I have many favorite comedians but I have to say I believe Bill Cosby is my all time favorite...especially his stand up comedy routines such as:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFMVeZyhagI

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w-AG_yF1U

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs0cYJUqJys

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyMSc97UksM

I saw Bill Cosby live back in the early 70's.... I don't ever remember laughing so long and hard ever in my life.... and when I woke up the next morning.... I found my ribs and abdomen were in severe pain.... I had laughed so hard the night before I had hurt myself.... yeah Bill Cosby is classic clean humor that is timeless and everyone can relate to.

I'm a big fan of some of the classics like Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Mitch Hedberg etc.. I've been a Denis Leary fan since I young teenager but the current comedian who makes me laugh out loud the most is Ricky Gervais

Here are a couple of my favourites.

This is a really good question. I am wondering if the winner should be a comedian who is funny and popular with many cultures. I am not sure who this comedian would be but I personally fine Greg Proops to be hilarious. Here is an audio clip :

Ray Romano can crack me up still today but my all time favorite is the Carole Burnett Show. She and her croonies were so freakin' funny ! If you ever need a belly laugh go to YouTube and search "Carol Burnett Show Bloopers". Now that is real comedy !
