Carol Burnett

Carol and Lucille are the definite top of the list ..
(A toss up between these two .. but Carol had a body of work that was just awesome)

the rest ..
not even worthy of being called 'comediannes' ..

Didn't consider Lucille or Carol as stand up comedians, Phyllis Diller on the other hand did do stand up routines on stage.

Tina Fey

Good list, but there are so many more that could be on a list like this one.
Joan Rivers was extremely funny when she was just a stand up, Phyllis Diller, Dorothy Lamour was a great comic actress...

[THANK THE GODDESSES UP ABOVE, TAKING WOMYN COMICS SERIOUSLY FOR A CHANGE; BOYS, MOVE OVER,YOUR TIME IS UP!!!!!!]

Every womon on this list is good or wonderful; but I never understood or got Carol Burnetts humor(nothing against her).

I'm going to also add: Laverne & Shirley, Gilda Radner, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Cheri Oteri, a few womyn from SNL of the late 80's/early 90s; Margaret Cho, Kristen Wiig, Jeanane Garofolo (sp) and a few more.....

Of ALL people, Jerry Lewis said women are not funny. Can you believe it? He is the least funny and the most moronic comedian of all time! Sheesh!

Although by and large I don't think females are very funny I make an exception for Jo Brand who really is excellent.

What about Kristen Wiig, Gilda Radner, or any of the other female SNL alums? Also, there's Lisa Lampanelli to consider.
