Oh, wow, this is a tough one. Probably David Letterman but George Carlin, Bill Murray, Dave Chappelle, Carol Burnett, and Bob Newhart could get enthusiastic votes from me and there are several others on the list who I really appreciate and respect. 

'Great idea for a poll, btw.

Do you need to have at least 15 years in comedy to qualify?

Chapelle started in the early 00's, and everyone else was from the 20th century. 

21 out of 22 from last ½ of the 20th century, and only 1 from the last 21years.

I guess it's Social Climate Change?

Fun Fact: Bill Cosby originally refused his award twice because he was disappointed Richard Pryor used profanity in his acceptance speech. Because Cosby is a disgusting hypocrite.
