I don't like arrogant comedians... Joan Rivers has a wonderfully smooth self-depracatingting style.

Ooooh. I was lucky enough to see Bill Hicks twice and share a urinal with him once. Some of his shtick hasn't aged well, but at his best he could be funny, cruel and profound all within a single sentence.

He's not as good as he was....

The older he's got the better he was.
