Louis Székely, known professionally as Louis C.K., is an American comedian, actor, writer, producer, director, and editor. Poor Louis. Just an ordinary dude with the balls to go for it -- it was responsible for his professional death as well as his professional life. Right now, he's missing the opportunity of a lifetime by playing possum. I wish he'd stand up to the super-sensitive morons who have been giving him money to be outrageous for years. Just because they don't think Louis' most radiant member is as radiant as Louis thinks it is? Lighten up...
Come on! Louis is one of the best stand up comedians ever! He should at least be number one on THIS list! Better than all these guys by a long shot. Kevin Hart is second.
Louis C.K is the everyman of comedy and that's why everyone will relate. His show Louie is like Seinfeld on steroids...a mixture of hilarity, drama and intellect. He is truly the comedian of our time
Exactly how funny is whacking off in front of random chicks anyway? Needs a better gimmick.
Kevin Darnell Hart is an American actor, comedian, writer, and producer.

Great comedian, his twisted sense of humor will push boundaries most comedians would not think about. Love his material. "I was having sex with this girl... lets say shes 18" never know whats coming out of his mouth next. Has suspense in his comedy, not just stories about his life, some may be but you can't tell, just gotta laugh and move on. can't get to him and he will teach you to take things much less seriously.
Eric Marlon Bishop, known professionally by his stage name Jamie Foxx, is an American actor, singer, songwriter and comedian. He's not even a stand up comedian. Or a comedian at all for that matter - MojoSpaederman
Watch him in Miami Vice...he is not funny, or even entertaining at all
Hate his version of comedy...not even funny..very poor
