Mine are Ron White, Ellen Degeneres and Robin Williams.

Ron White actually gave me much of my dry sense of humor, and many of his sarcastic jokes are really rather funny.

Ellen makes observations on life that are so hilarious, I find myself unable to stop laughing. Everyone in my family likes her, and I think she's great.

Robin Williams is the only person who has literally created a 1hr 45 min DVD of nonstop comedy. Complete and total hysteria.

'Course they're all standups! Oh, and I really like Jerry Seinfeld as well. His "I'm Telling You For The Last Time" special is a classic.

You must be a Whose Line fan.

For me, I like Robin Williams but the guy just goes on and on and talks about things that don't make sense.

What I really like about Robin Williams is that you can listen to any completely random minute and a half of one of his albums and it'll make sense. Try this out with "Night at the Met"- it really works!

Peter Kay and Billy Connoly are outstanding comedians. I also really like Ricky Gervais.
