Good quiz, but that list is really old. I'm sure Dave Chapell, Jim Gaffigan and Brian Regan would be high up on a list made today. .

Yeah, unfortunately I couldn't find a newer list. I guess there would be more current names too, like Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman etc.

Amy Schumer? She couldn't even make it to the 100 worst comedians she's that bad.

Yep. Today's list would be different. Maybe a 25% turnover from this list. Add Nate Bergatze, Brian Regan, Bill Burr, Ricky Gervais, to name a few. Seinfeld should be top 5. Rivers and Diller and Crystal should move up. Falling off should be Dice Clay and Golthwait (one-trick ponies), Degeneres and Roseanne (never that funny), Adam Sandler (decent comedic actor but after seeing him live, he's clearly not a stand-up), and Chappelle (stock has fallen too far).
