TOP 5 FUNNIEST PEOPLE ON TV

A very tough task, so i decided to restrict this list to the funniest people currently on TV (sorry Kramer). Choosing only one Bluth and one of Reno's finest was very difficult. As always, i'm open for suggestions or compliments. So, in no particular order.....

Steve Carrel, as Michael Scott in The Office
Will Arnett, as Gob Bluth in Arrested Development
Thomas Lennon, as Lt. Jim Dangle in Reno 911 ->
Amy Poehler,
Saturday Night Live
Seth McFarlane, Peter & Stewie Griffin,
Family Guy

Honorable Mention- Rob Corddry, The Daily Show

boo on the american rip off version of "the office." is it just me, or is it a fact that if t.v. executives take anything from a different country and dumb it down enough, the american public will watch it, love it and think it is completely revolutionary?

i do conquer with at least one member of the bluth family being on the list and gob was a good choice. i also really enjoy george michael's utter awkwardness.

speaking of awkward... we had a special guest band playing in chapel today (it's parents weekend and there is a worship conference here this week) and they asked for anyone who wanted to "dance their praise" to come to the front and dance. they did. bob brower might have had a mild stroke. i am not sure anyone dancing was actually listening to the music, but they were sure having fun. they meaning: "not bob brower or michael pitts" -b0n-

yeah...jon stewart is the funniest man on tv. no...the funniest man alive!
also, i'd have to give it up for trey parker and co. because as crude as it is, southpark is damn genius.
dave chapelle deserves an honorable mention, despite the fact that he's not currently on television.

I'm soooo sorry conan!!! please forgive me.

he can wrestle jon stewart for the funniest man alive title.

Captain Bonnie McHateOnCarellPants- i know The Office is a UK rip off, but i still think it's brilliant. i hadn't thought of GeorgeMichael Bluth but he is a worthy competitor.

And yes, Dave Chapelle is very Chafunny, we'll give him Honorary Black Member Of The List...unless Seth McFarlane is black and i'm just clueless.

i honestly think Rob Corddry is funnier than Jon Stewart most of the time. But does it count that i write 'Kal luvs Jon 4-eva' on all my binders? Cuz i do. i haven't seen Colbert's show yet, but i'm sure if i had it would've made this list even harder to comprise.

Crap- i forgot Conan too....Okay, it's a Top 6 List and Conan's on.
