Top 100 Comedians

[GonzoStyle]

everyone was influenced by someone, while their styles are in the same vein i'd hardly say he ripped him off. Leary didn't rip off Hicks as much as Carlin didn't rip off Lenny Bruce, nor Eddie Murphy Redd Foxx, etc etc. Everyone takes from someone else in some aspect.

Though I agree that hicks coulda been upped more but his career was unfortunatly cut short, yet no way I rank rosanne, ellen, and I as much as I liked his early stuff steve martin shouldn't crack the top 30.
