Who is the most UNfunny comedian today? (Besides Dennis Miller...)
I'd have to say, IMHO, that it is Jimmy Walker. I realize he is a washed up has-been, but he is still out there, trying to eke out some laughs, using old material that wasn't that funny in the 70's when it was written...

Contemporary commedian who isn't funny? Jimmy Kimmel. Just doesn't make me laugh. At all.

:shrug:

3. Jimmy Kimmel has given up being a comedian...
for being a misogynist.

13. I actually didn't know
that Jimmy Kimmel was a comedian. Every time I see him I am reminded of an article I read about him where he said he doesn't like to have sex. Isn't that odd? I try not to watch him - he freaks me out.

4. Drew Carey, tied with Dana Carvey.
Carvey once was funny, and now is just a RW kissup. Drew Carey never was funny.

17. OK, but the one great Leno joke over the past month:
"Today, retired General Wesley Clark announced he is running for president of the US. Pretty amazing guy. Four star general, graduated first in his class at West Point, supreme commander of NATO, served combat in Vietnam. What, he won the bronze star, silver star, the purple heart. Wounded in battle. See, I'm no political expert, but that sounds pretty good next to choking on a pretzel, falling off a scooter and dropping the dog."

15. Jerry Seinfeld
Sorry, I've never seen why people think he is so funny. Just the same boring jokes in the same annoying voice over and over and over and over and over...

16. Colin Quinn, Jim Breuer (goat boy) and Denis Leary...the unholy trinity

I'm just as unfunny, where's MY talkshow?

21. You're right, that is the unholy trinity...
I would add born-again wingnut Victoria Jackson in order to make it a quartet

18. David Spade
I remember reading a quote from Chris Rock to the effect that "I consider David Spade a friend, but if I was as funny as he is, I'd be eating out of garbage cans."
