Aykroyd was, to me, a great blend of classic comedy and cutting edge humor in his prime. His acting routinely nodded to classic comedians, especially in selling scenes.

Not only was she part of one of the best casts in TV history on "Seinfeld," she managed to make a pretty good run of it on her own in "The New Adventures of Old Christine."

As a stand-up comedian, O'Neal was a mere cut above average; his discussion and debate established him as one of the most hilarious, insightful and fearlessly aggressive comics in the Anglosphere. He'll … more

This guy is about as funny as getting crabs. His jokes are flat, and he seems to think that if you move around a lot, you're automatically hilarious. If you want modern comedians that are acutally … more

I always thought of Keaton as just another funny guy until I saw him as Bruce Wayne in Tim Burton's "Batman." He pulled the role off convincingly and has done some very good work in the many years that … more
