52. Wanda Sykes was cracking me up on NPR yesterday. It was so funny, it was a driving hazard.

Truthfully, I haven't watched a lot of standup comedy in past few years.

Do like Bill Maher, for the political humor. And used to love Lewis Black's rants, and Dave Chappelle was my favorite for a longtime.

Netflix and Amazon must have 20 comedy specials I need to watch.
