196. Sorry she was 138

Feb 2015

She beat out:

Robert Downey Jr - who was considered the worst (totally forgot he spent that one horrible year on the show), those weird muppet things they had the very first season (which clearly didn't last) and Jim Breur, which I've seen Jim Breur do stand-up he was ok and I would definitely rate him higher than Victoria Jackson but not by much.
