    I don't know...
    I find her show to be genuine. I find her act new.
    Gossip/Hollywood is her gig. If you don't like that aspect, you're not going to find her funny.

    Reality has become cliche. That show was quite different.
    The-passing-of-her-father-episode was the best the genre can offer. (For what that's worth)

    I'm a big Gaffigan fan, from Super Troopers to That 70s Show and both his Comedy Central specials. He is the lazy man's spokesman.

    Mitch Hedburg was the king of one-liners.

    Now, I'm a big supporter of Kyle Cease, Nick Swardson and, perhaps the best of all three, Demetri Martin. For example,

    David Cross is my top pick, but a dead Bill Hicks still rules over all.

    Ron White also needs to be separated from the rest of the Blue Collar guys.

    Since he's, you know, funny.

    All he has to say is "I got thrown out of a bar in New York City," and I start cracking up, every time.

    "You know, the kind who get off work, go home and watch Road House and beat off..."

    Last couple of nights, I listened to Oswalt's new one "Werewolves & Lollipops." Indeed funny stuff.
    "I'm gonna fill your hoo-haa with goof-juice." "...it's gonna look like a rat in a rainstorm after I get through with my love paints." get ready for the wintery-freshness of mace
    "Wackity Smackity Doo!"
