    He's at his best in an interview format with another comedian/late night talk show host. His appearances with Conan and Miller back in the 90s are the best.
    Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

      His recent appearance on Adam Carolla's podcast was above average.

        I must be a prude as I find most comedians to be disgusting people with dirty minds and dirty mouths. Just don't find it funny.

          Patton Oswalt on 63 y/o moms is pretty funny. Also, David Cross reading a Restoration Hardware catalog at the end of his Netflix special made me laugh harder than most anything I've seen in years.

            I love stand up, for most of the last 5-6 years I listen to stand up and comedian's podcasts almost all the time I spend in my car.

            I really like Rogan and I saw him in Portland a few years ago and thought he killed, I do agree with fus that I think overall his podcast is awesome and sometimes his humor translates better into story/conversation of podcast than stand up. The same is true with Bert Kreischer, Jim Norton, Robert Kelly, Louis Gomez, Rich Vos, Big Jay Oakerson, Norm MacDonald, Collin Quinn. All have some razor wit and can destroy in a conversation or podcast, but their stand up sometimes isn't as funny.

            One guy I really love that I think his specials are hilarious is Tom Segura, while his podcast with his wife is ok. He has a football podcast called Charge it to the Game that is a fun listen though.

            Other guys I've listened to or had new specials recently that I think are really good, Dan Soder and Sebastian Maniscalo (he's a clean comic).

            I can listen to all three of Mitch Hedberg's albums anytime. I have probably listened to Daniel Tosh's "True Stories I Made Up" 35 times.

                I think Tom Segura's bit on The First 48 Hours is brilliant.

                I also really liked Greg Giraldo. I didn't really watch his stuff until after he was gone though.

                Bill Burr is probably my current favorite. Anthony Jeselnik is also hilarious.

                  Once again, Brian Regan is consistently funny. Not gut-busting funny, but solid every time. There's not many things that happen in the NWC clan's life that can't be connected to a Regan line.

                  OK, so maybe we like him a little too much...

                    I enjoy Hannibal Burress a lot.

                    His bit on a bachelor party in NOLA is hilarious.

                    He's weird, my wife doesn't get him but I think I do.

                      Speaking of Opie and Anthony, it seems like this has been posted before in another thread:



                      There's also a clip on youtube of Jim Norton doing commentary while watching an episode of Hoarders which is pretty funny.
                      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                          greg giraldo's roast stuff was always great, but again i don't think it translates to standup

                              I saw him last year and he was insanely funny. I don't like to laugh out loud in crowds but he had me rolling.

                                I have really gotten into Mike Birbiglia lately. In the process of listening to all his stuff on Amazon. He is hilarious.
