comedians and/or magicians

Black, Lewis
I guess I basically know him from his Comedy Central special, and from his occasional "Back in Black" segments on The Daily Show.

Cho, Margaret
I vaguely recall seeing a bit of All-American Girl, which as I recall was rather alright. And I've probably seen her do some stand up on Comedy Central or whatever. I'm sure it'd be nice to see more of her work. Fey, Tina
Quite liked her on Saturday Night Live, Mean Girls was decent, and I like 30 Rock alot. I definitely wanna see her in some other stuff sometime. Galifianakis, Zach
Well, I know him from Tru Calling, and some stand-up on Comedy Central. And no doubt other stuff I don't remember as well. Goldthwait, Bobcat
Well, there's the Police Academy movies. And I think I saw Hot to Trot. And of course Scrooged. And he's done voice work in various things I've seen, like XL in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, Pain in Hercules, etc. Um, I seem to recall seeing him do stand-up on some show, I'm thinking Hard Rock Live, probably. I dunno, I'm sure I've seen or heard him in plenty of other stuff... Griffin, Kathy
I know her from Suddenly Susan and I've seen a bit of My Life on the D-List and an episode of The X-Files and no doubt I've seen or heard her in other stuff... Hedberg, Mitch
I suppose I mostly know him from stand-up on Comedy Central. And there was Saddle Rash. And probably some other stuff. Katz, Jonathan
Mainly know him from Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist and Home Movies, though I must've seen a bit of stand-up on Comedy Central or something, at some point. Mencia, Carlos
I mainly just know him from Mind of Mencia, I guess. Penn & Teller
It's really hard to imagine a time I wasn't at least vaguely aware of them. I always liked them. There was an episode of Babylon 5, and the Run-DMC video "It's Tricky." And I'm sure I've seen them in plenty of other stuff, guest spots, magic/comedy shows on Comedy Central or other networks. It's just hard to remember anything specific. And I know they've done tons of stuff I haven't seen, but still, I've always known and liked them, somehow. As I said. I guess. Philips, Emo
I mainly know him from Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist. And a bit of Home Movies. I'm not sure about anything else... Silverman, Sarah
Let's see, I guess I first saw her on Saturday Night Live, where I quite liked her. And a two part story on Star Trek: Voyager, where I quite liked her. After that I no doubt saw her in more than I can recall right now, though Greg the Bunny comes to mind, and I certainly liked her there, too. And she did a voice on Saddle Rash. And I see her on talk shows now and then, I suppose. Yes, I don't know how much I've seen her in, though no doubt there's plenty more I haven't but would like to. And I'd like to find more links for her. Used to be a good German one, but it disappeared, I'm afraid... Smirnoff, Yakov
You know, I'm not sure I ever saw him in anything specific, but I must've seen bits of his stand-up here and there on TV, back in the day... Wright, Steven
I liked him on Mad About You, and I'm sure I've seen and heard him in any number of other things, plus stand-up of course. I'm afraid I can't think of anything more specific...
comedy troupes

Monty Python
I like Monty Python's Flying Circus. You know, not all of it, but some bits are brilliant. And I like all their movies. And alot of the work that members of the troupe have done separately...

The Second City
SCTV had some pretty good moments, I suppose. And I like alot of the stuff the troupe's members have done separately...
humor columnists

Barry, Dave
Always quite enjoyed his column. And the TV show Dave's World that was loosely based on his life was good, though not as good as the column...

Becker, Chris
This is a guy I know from the Adult Swim Message Board. He also wrote stuff for & edits his college paper, the Advance Titan, though obviously that was a limited time gig. But he's seriously funny and I think he should have a great career... Time will tell... Millington, Mil
I'm afraid I basically just know him from his "Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About" site, which is one of the funniest things ever. And his mailing list, which is also one of the funniest things ever. Someday maybe I should read some books or see if I can check out some columns he does...
