I believe that comedians are the philosophers of our time. They are the truth tellers. They reflect our society, our culture, and show our absurdness. They cause us to think and reflect. Ernie Kovacs, Steve Allen and his short lived show he did Meeting of the Minds it was BRILLIANT, Ken Nordine, Lenny Bruce, George Carlan, Shelly Berman, Bob Newhart,Steven Wright, Robin Williams, Bill Cosby, Billy Crystal, Steve Martin, Bill Engval, even in a musical format Tom Lehrer, Dave Frishberg, Tom Waits. The entire writing staff of the old Sid Caesar show with Imogene Cocoa, Niel Simon, Danny Simon, Nannette Fabray, Carl Riener, Mel Brooks, Larry Gelbart, Mel Tolken, Woody Allen, and Howie Morris.
