It's uh uh hold on, I'm scrolling, scrolling correct, Dave
Chappelle number one. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Did they say that this was based on like just
who they dig or because I think they're just making
a list. I don't think they were going off like
grossy because a lot of times bill Board will do
that type of stuff. Yeah, and like I mean guys
like let me take up for my guy here, but
guys like Louis c k never charged stadium rates like
(00:55):
he refused to do that.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
He would always charge less.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, he instead would just make an it turn watch
a handle up on himself. Now it's proven, he's talked
about it openly.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Money in jail? Is that a jailable offense is on
the list? Okay, if it's not a jailable offense, is
it really that bad? That was Dave Chappelle?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Point?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Well, wait, if you're asking if it's that bad. Are
you saying? Doable? Kat's plot? Not for me. I don't
have the power dynamic. I just I'm just the commander
with my team. Okay, got number twelve, Neighborgazzi, Christina, correct, Yes,
number twelve. Good Ben, you are on the hot seat now.
He's so good. Oh, I gotta get one. I guess, man,
(01:43):
if you don't you well, yeah, if you miss, it's
a bogie and you go on Shane Gillis. It's good Ben.
He do not have Shane on the list. Ben's got
a bogie. I love his commercials. Yeah. The next one.
(02:04):
The next one is Bill Burr, Bill Burr, friend of
the show. Have him on all the time? Number five?
Bill Burr, So skin par Is there save Parr, Christina.
That's a birdie dog. Adam Sandler interesting Number thirteen Adams Sammer.
All right, yeah, I mean, and I just got back
(02:26):
into it. But again the one special fresh will last
the test of time. It's wonderful. So Ben, Yeah, the
par here, I'm out of him. Give him a hint
for number twenty five. Why don't you take a guess? Yes,
(02:46):
I truly don't know. I really haven't gone through it.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I think Kevin Hart will be I was going to say,
give her Kevin Hart. Chris Rock will also.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Be on there. Kevin Hart and Chris Rocker on there.
Kevin Hart's number seven, Chris Rocks number two, Oh, which
is you know? Yeah? Even the one he did that
was supposed to be about the Will Smith thing. I
(03:12):
like the parts of it that were about Will Smith,
but the other stuff I was like, just wasn't into it.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Am I the only one who's seen the Netflix movie
about Chris Rock and Kevin Hart going on tour? Probably
it is so badass, it's wonderful, wonderful.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So it was number one Chappelle to Chris Rock. Who
would number three be Ricky Gervais. Ricky Gervais does make
the list at number sixteen. Christina.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Christina's crushing on the teen's sixteen ass.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I don't know if you should say that she should
be on the list with that kind of stand up goal. Yeah,
let's start the back Byron Allen twenty five. John Stewart okay,
because he was doing a lot of stand up what
he would and do, so now he's playing music, he's
a drummer.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I would say I bet John Stewart didn't do stand
up after nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
There was a guy on here that I'd never heard
of that came in at twenty four. Again, this goes
back to the two thousand here. Okay, Billy Connolly.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, the isn't he the I think he's the Irish,
pasty white guy.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
He had long hair. Oh, I'm thinking of someone else.
I really don't know. Twenty three Trevor Noah.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Ah yeah, oh jo, Billy Connolly is the old dude
with super long gray permed hair and a goatee.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, he definitely looks like he hung out
with Penn and Teller. Yeah, so it says that he's
eighty three now Connolly, he's still been out there doing it.
Oh then, okay, dude, Mark Maren, Oh okay, that's a
good guess man.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
The last not gonna work. Mark Maren's not on there.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
God, the last Mark Maren special in HBO. I swear
to god, I think I watched it three times. It
was so ef and funny.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I saw him live one time and didn't like it
all right, But I know you said that and that
I always liked his podcasting. I mean, it was so
ef and funny. He's very get off my lawn, that's
his bit.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
He's just very standard, you know, East Coast Jewish neurotic guy.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
He was pretty decent in that Owen Wilson show Stick
on Apple because he was funny. He was still himself
in that family friendly show. You guys still haven't got
number three. There's a few other huge names on here.
I think you're going to do the.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Give us some hints as we go, can't you? Maybe so, man,
maybe I will coming up next. If Bill Cosby going
to be number three on the top Comedians of the
twenty first century, that's next right here on the Eagle.
Speaker 4 (05:44):

It's the brewery that Ben and I are partners in.
It is Rollertown Beer Works. But right now it's time
for this.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
The thing's big. I thought of one. I thought it two.
You go first. What are these that we're thinking of?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
All right, we're doing this list that Kat stumbled upon,
the top twenty five comedians of the last twenty five years,
and we've left some of the big names off.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
One of them that comes.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
To mind is one that I know that you're into
KT and that's John Mulaney. Yes, number four, great, Ben excellent.
The other one I thought of was just made fun
of on SNL. I've seen his specials. I know he's
very popular. Sebastian Meniscalco. Yeah, Maniscalco, Menuscalco. Yeah, tough name, right,
but he's which he's wildly active. Yeah yeah yeah, I
(07:30):
would you do this guy?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
What do you want from me? Where's he on the list? Eleven? Okay?
Maniscalco eleven? Lining? Number four up and we didn't name
Norm MacDonald. Oh wow, yeah, I don't know if they're
gonna give Norm yeah, number eight. There he is gonna say,
what are you talking about? Let me tell you all.
It is such a shame. In fact, it's actually validation
anyone that tries something and it just gets canceled within
(07:57):
like a year or year and a half. It's fine.
They canceled on Comedy Central Norm McDonald's sports show. It's hilarious.
It's incredible, and it's on YouTube and that's watching some
of it and it's just great.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
That's the Norm McDonald way, though, is to do something
that gets canceled so fast. I mean, it's just he's
just got a history of shows that got canceled so fast.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
People even have gone back and watched his sitcom and
they're like, it was funny. Yeah, like it just was
never gonna get ratings because it's too weird.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
But yeah, it wasn't like so many comedians went and
did sitcoms, but it was like a different style of
sitcom than what Norm was doing.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
So what we haven't gotn on the list? Let's go
number twenty two and I will give the hint of
hot Pockets Jim Gaffigan Jim, Yeah, pretty good comedian when
you're known for one thing like that, like for sure,
like that would hit. I mean he's also the guys
who can He's in the Bargazzi lane, Guys that can code,
(08:55):
Guys who can stay clean by coding YEP, audience for forever. Okay,
speaking of staying clean, Woody Allen, I don't think he's
doing stand up number twenty one. His nickname is Fluffy.
He wears it hat. Oh.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
I know he was in UH because he was in UH.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
He was on Key and Peel. Is it the big
fat guy? He's not huge? Oh maybe I'm not thinking
of the same.

about Cedric the Entertainer?

be funny. You guys know who Maria Bamford is. No,

I just I just don't think he's as great as
a stand up as everyone else seems to think.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I mean, I think he is. I agree, I think
he's an old man golf. It doesn't it doesn't help
that he thinks he's better than everybody except Michael Jordan.
Nice to meet you, Michael Jordan. What is the deal
with Doug bill Burr? Number four? John Lay, you guys
miss number three because number two is Chris Rock number one.
Day she well, number three, you guys missed him? And

he had, it's scientific greatness. It's incredible. You know him,
you love him, Louis c K that was our g
that was our hint number three. Oh we're at time, man,
uh time. I got zero problem with that. I think
his stand up is amazing. I do too.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
And if you look at the top of that list,
him and Chris Rock were writing partners for a long time,
writing yep, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
And then Dana Carvey hired lucy K to be the
head writer on The Dana Carvey Show and they chose
the first sketch to Clinton with teats r milk feeding
all these puppies, and the ratings went down in the
show never recovered.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
The hardest thing for him is to figure out if
you wear a sports code or go jacket off.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
He doesn't know either way. Is he going to go
jacket on or jacket off? He doesn't know.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
And it depends on if Tig Nataro is that her name,
depends if she's there. Sometimes she'll say, oh, that jacket's on.

a normal black shirt. Now yep, and I think he
