Carol Burnett. I loved watching her show when I was little.

 

[AppleDumpling]

Robin Williams

 

[DeniseJH]

First one to come to mind is a more recent comedian - Joe Machi. Saw him on Last Comic Standing a few years ago, and he had been a guest on Red Eye before that. Last year we got to see him at our local Funny Bone Comedy Club and he was so funny!! For me, laugh out loud funny, and that's rare.

Bob Newhart

 

[wenrob]

Tim Conway

 

[ols386]

I can’t remember his last name off hand, but Kevin something who played Doug on King of Queens. He had a stand up comedy routine that was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.

His last name might have been James.

 

[TCRAIG]

The late great Joan Rivers

 

[amberpi]

Richard Pryor and George Carlon.

 

[amberpi]

Archie Bunker

Yikes.

 

[donaldbuzz&minnie]

Paula Poundstone
Tim Conway

 

[pigletliz]

Carol Burnett (with Harvey Korman and Tim Conway) I especially loved their take on the classic movies.
Lucille Ball

We saw him live back in 2011, he was great! Love him!

I'll second Robin Williams and add Eddie Murphy

I know it wasn't asked, but my least favorite has to be Jerry Seinfeld. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

 

[Floridaman999]

Yikes.

Exactly what he was looking for.
