Saw Lili Tomlin years ago in a one woman show..the funniest show I had ever seen; a genius, Larry David and Tracey Ullman...

Greenhouse, yes, I love Lily.  She is so funny.  Remember Geraldine, the switchboard operator and the little girl she did?

I'd forgotten about Tim Conway!  Loved how he used to break up his co-stars.

If you haven't seen the clip about Tim Conway and the siamese elephants,  check out youtube.  Cracks me up every time.

Carol Burnett and George Carlin

Two more really good funny people.  I liked the way George Carlin pushed the envelope (so to speak).  He could get pretty far over the limit, but I enjoyed and laughed with others when he was on.

He was often on Johnny Carson.  Perhaps because his humor was more for late night.  I've watched a few of his shows re-run on HBO (the one's that are now considered inappropriate and they were really funny).  Brought back some good memories.

Carol Burnett was recently on some late night talk shows.  She still has a good sense of humor and can easily make us laugh.  She showed some of the really funny parts of her show.  As old as they were they still had me laughing out loud.

I enjoyed George Carlin, too, and a few more that pushed the envelope/"mature audiences" were Richard Pryor, Sam Kinnison and Bill Hicks.

Oh the heck with it, I just love comedians!
