I also like Jimmy Fallon a lot too
(He did that hilarious impression of Neil Young, which is probably still up on You Tube)
I've been a fan of Maher since his "Politically Incorrect" days.
(First time I ever saw Sarah Silverman was on that show...she cracked me up!)
Colbert, Stewart & Samantha Bee are also very funny, imo.
(I have a crush on Samantha Bee)
(I didn't include these comics in the poll because they all have their own shows or network gigs)
I just Googled Kevin Hart & he's on a tour now
..Oct. 21 & 22 in Shrieveport, LA
..Oct 28 in Mobile, Alabama
(He's also has upcoming shows in Long Beach & Pasadena)
