        That's Bill Engvall. -- nm - timPhone Jul 11, 12:19 1
        
        I still get points for calling pixie stupid, right? -- nm - con_carne Jul 11, 12:20
        
        Oh, Lord no. Ron White is Tater Salad. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 11, 12:19 2
        
        You're right, I was thinking of Bill Engvall -- nm - con_carne Jul 11, 12:20 1
        
        Oops, so was I! -- nm - Spawn Jul 11, 12:22

        Yeah, he actually has made me laugh before. He is the only one of that group to. - Spawn Jul 11, 12:18

Jeff Dunham -- nm - Strongbad Jul 11, 12:13 1

  - Never heard of Fator, but JD was the one. -- nm - Spawn Jul 11, 12:14 3
    - Same, never heard of him either. -- nm - Krusty Jul 11, 12:17
    - He won a season of America's Got Talent and has a show in Vegas now I think. -- nm - timPhone Jul 11, 12:15
    - Fator has a 5 year 100M gig in vegas, I *think* he won AGT -- nm - MDH Jul 11, 12:15
Eddie Izzard -- nm - con_carne Jul 11, 12:13 2

      - *shrug* -- nm - Don Homer Jul 11, 12:15
Dane Cook! - decline Jul 11, 12:10 4

  - (it was a joke) -- nm - decline Jul 11, 12:12 2
    - Sadly, a few years ago he probably was on there. -- nm - Spawn Jul 11, 12:17

Louis CK -- nm - Beaker Jul 11, 12:10 1
- #5 16M -- nm - MDH Jul 11, 12:10
