| Don't even know the last one, and I only heard of Colbert a couple of weeks ago.
No "None of the above" option, so the poll...is....

| Where's Craig Ferguson? Conan O'Brian is there but Craig Ferguson? Blasphemy. He also has a late night show. He's hilarious, maybe just because of the scottish accent though. Worked for Billy Connelly and his fanbase.
I'll have to vote Carlos Mencia.
The funniest TV show on television is by far...Family Guy. | |

| While I have much love for Jon Stewart, I've gotta give it to Colbert.

| How do your foget Lewis Black and Dane Cook, two of the most prominent comedians in America today. And how can anyone actually include Carlos Mencia, he's just really obnoxious, I've never seen anything of his that I thought was funny. Anyways, I voted for Jon Stewart, because the opening monolouge of the Daily Show is perhaps the funniest 5-10 minutes of TV on the airwaves.

I think Mencia is a little funny, but his jokes are ALL about race, which just gets really old. Haha, black people do that, fine, move on! | |

| Of the choices given, it's Jon Stewart, followed relitively closely by Steven Colbert.

| This poll cannot be flawed. If you don't like it then make your own poll. | |

| Of course the poll can be flawed, as two of them could be tied for first (or more than two)

| And if you've never seen several of them, or have limited experience of them, inevitably any result will be skewed.
ALL polls on f.net are flawed. Many and cunning are they who have striven to disprove this conclusion, but all have failed in the end...

| Why is Trey Parker not on the list?
Why is Dave Chapell not on the list?
Why does everyone on the list have an entire staff of writers?

| The real flaw is that Chris Rock isn't on it, nor Bill Cosby, and unfortunately, Eddie Izzard isn't American. | |

| Well, given the question the poll poses, people not being included is not a flaw, as the question is 'Out of those listed . . .' The other flaws (lack of familiarity by which to distinguish, being unable to distinguish, etc.) are still flaws, of course.

Anyways, I voted for O'Brien.
