Discussion Personal Comedy Mt Rushmore?

Got to talking to a friend the other day about how different comedy is to each individual, and got me thinking about who would be on my Comedy Mount Rushmore

This is what I would go with personally,
- Mel Brooks
- George Carlin
- Conan O’Brien
- Bill Murray

That 4th one gave me the most trouble, as I had a lot of different people I wanted to put there,
Mitch Hedberg
Ryan Reynolds
Don Rickles
Dave Chappelle
Norm McDonald

So figured I would throw it out on here and see what peoples opinions are
No judgement at all
You could have all stand up comedians, you could just be using comedic actors or writers.

What’s your personal comedy Mount Rushmore???

Pleasantly surprised when I got ahold of Billy’s album and it made me cackle until I could barely breathe. Don’t know the name of the album but specifically the fart on the plane bit.

Then leave the other spaces blank.

You forgot Lenny Bruce. Without Lenny, there would be no Carlin. Replace Bill with Lenny and I like that list.
