1. Kelly Ripa was 25.5

Sean Hayes, Cedric and Megan Mullally (from Will and Grace) should be on the list. But what they have is pretty good, imo

2. Chris Rock as #1?

I never really thought Chris Rock was all that great until recently. I watched his godawful movies and his so-so stint on SNL and just didn't get it.

You really have to watch him do standup to understand what makes him so great. He's honestly one of the best standup comedians I've ever seen.

5. didn't read the story

but maybe he has been funny (to some extent) in many different ways: tv, movies, standup, writing, mtv election commentator, etc
