With the passing of Rodney Dangerfield, I started thinking about the history of stand-up. Give me your nominees for the best of all time.

My favorite - Steve Martin. I saw him live in his banjo-playing, juggling, arrow-through-the-head days, and he was great. I'd also add Robin Williams for being jaw-dropping insane.

Side note - I once saw Heni Youngman walking down the street in Manhattan, and I've always regretted that I didn't ask him how to get to Carnegie Hall.
