To what?

To whatever show you're talking about. I've never heard of it.

If you can't find it, just give me a link to some dancing boobies

This was done for a programme by the UK's Channel 4; I thought it was just UK comedians that voted. It's clearly UK-oriented. Even then I agree it's a bad list.

I think most people think of Rowan Atkinson as a comic actor rather than a comedian.

They forgot me.

What's the difference? (Not being sarcastic or anything. I don't know the difference)

Wow. Bill Hicks definitely belongs there above Howie. Don't get me wrong, I loved Howie in Gremlins.

But I doubt he's anywhere near the top ten.

Richard Pryor

No one's even close.

Good list. I would probably drop Seinfeld (good writer, but not a great stand-up) and Mandel...and find a spot for Cosby and Freddy Prince (sp?? Prinze??)

I would say a comedian does stand-up or sketches, which Atksinson hasn't done for a long time, although that could be said of some on teh list. But probably more importantly, it's a long time since Atkinson has done anything that he's written material for - Blackadder, Mr Bean, his films etc, all written by others. I don;t know whether he contributed material to Not the Nine O'Clock News or his early stand up stuff, but they were a long time ago.
