Who do you think is the number one stand-up comedian of all-time? Any seconds, thirds? If you could pick ONE person to be inducted into a hall of fame as the greatest, who would it be and why?

Without a doubt, Bob Hope.Not only is he the greatest comedian but a true humanitarian as well. All those years he spent entertaining US troops around the world, he provided a little respite from the rigors of war, something all military people need.
He was the King of the one-liner.Other great comedians are Lucille Ball, Red Skelton, Abbot & Costello, George Burns and Gracie Allen. Heck, they all deserve to be in a Hall of Fame.

Dane Cook or Carlos Mencia, theyre just so right and they make ordinary things so funny "America Loves Violence and I'll prove it to you, when you see a guy walking down the street in a Superman shirt on don't you just wanna shoot him right in the chest plate and say "I guess not"?"- Dane Cook. "I can't stand it when fat people are like, I don't even know how I got fat. Well, you were THERE! and now theyre giving fat people handicap tags so they can park where people with down syndrome, paraplegia, quadriplegia should park, listen, fatty, you don't deserve to park CLOSER than everyone else, as a matter of fact you deserve to park FARTHER then everyone else, because you need the exercise. Listen, you weren't born sick you ATE sick."- Carlos Mencia. Two of the greatest and most correct quotes EVER.

Robin Williams...hands down. Until I saw him, I NEVER laughed out loud at stand up comedians. He is versatile and completely relatable. I think he's appealing to many different age groups, becuase he uses bathroom humor to political satire to "props"- and he's quick as lightening! He will always have my vote.

Brad Stine...primarily because he doesn't have to stoop to the lowest common denominator but also because he is truly hilarious...he makes you think as well.
