Who is your favorite black comedian ?

Bill Cosby is my favorite of the ones listed, but I find Steve Harvey to be even funnier.

You sure left a lot of great comedians out

Sammy Davis Jr . was not a comedian, He was a singer, actor, dancer

Then you have never seen his act

He's young so he's up-to-date(if that makes sense)

Why isn't Obama on the list. He certainly is a joke.

Red Foxx

I voted Bill Cosby to comment! Skin color should be irrelevent in evaluating talent in any field. Who is your favorite black baseball player? Who is your favorite black football player? Who is the best black heavyweight champion of the boxing world? Who is the best white heavyweight champion of the boxing world? Who is your favorite black President of the United States? Who is your favorite white President of the United States? Did Kanye West insult Taylor Swift because she was white and Beyonce was black? These are not the types of question Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wanted us to be asking in the world he was dreaming about!

Bill Cosby and sinbad are funny .

Richerd Pryor and Reginald. D. Hunter. Best of the best.

i went to school with Reginald... real funny guy. he sucks at words with friends though

He became a comedian, to put himself through school... I believe he is now a PhD... Smart, funny, and has what a lot of comedians SHOULD strive for as well,CLASS;-)

My favorite is Eddie Murphy, but since he's not listed Nick Cannon is my best choice.

Franklin Ajaye

Actually Will Smith, but not listed

An other option would be good : )

Flip Wilson and his character Geraldine. I used to watch this show with my dad. My dads best friend was the hippy dippy weatherman George Carlin who got his start on Flip Wilson's show.

Richard Prior, Kevin Hart, The Kings of Comedy :Steve Harvey, Cedric the Entertainer, Bernie Mac, and D.L. Hughley,*breathes* Chris Rock, Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino, Tony Rock, Sommore, Martin Lawrence, *breathes* Charlie Murphy, Leslie Jones, Bill Belamy, Mike Epps, and Katt Williams..... If you haven't guessed I'm half black so my family mostly watches black comedies... ._.

I forgot Chris Tucker, Bruce Bruce, Dave Chappelle, and Paul Mooney! Damn, my N- card has been revoked... v.v

(I meant to click on Bill Cosby) LOL why are these people even on this list? With the exception of Crosby, these people aren't even in the top 10-15. Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock etc are all vastly superior comedians to all of these.

I have many...



Richard Pryor

Paul Moonie

Bernie Mac "The Burnt Black"

Steve Harvey

Bruce Bruce

Dave Chapelle

Eddie Murphy

D.L Hugely

Martin Lawrence

Katt Williams


Number one favorite is



Kevin Hart

Like Martin Lawrence, Steve Harvey and many others... race irrelevant.

Bill Cosby is my all time favorite!

I agree with the @Avengers#1fan that there are a few missing from the list and it is almost impossible to chose between them

Here a a couple more that may have been overlooked::

I would definitely have to say Queen Latifah.

This is the worst selection ever. Cosby wins. I want Pryor.

By far my favorite is Bill Cosby, but I think Wanda is hilarious too

Should have had a box for "Other" and I would have picked Barack H. Obama because he is a joke...

That's hilarious.

What does skin color have to do anything?

The style of comedy for one. And it isn't underlying racist to ask this, so don't get all butt-hurt about it.

Yeah, Black Comedy is a little different.

If somebody is funny, then they are funny. Why does it have to be tied in with a skin color? I never said that Phyllis Diller was my favorite woman comedian.

I like Whoopie, but nobody does it like Bill Cosby, IMO!!

Not a really good list what about Paul Moony, Katt Williams, Eddie Murphy, Richard Price?

Paul Moony is GREAT!

Where is Richard Prior?
He was not trying to be a comedian; he was just telling it like it was.
People did not get it and laughed turning his monologues into comedy.

Bill Cosby is good, but my first choice would have been Barack Obama

I like Whoopi but,if it had been an option i would have chosen Eddie Murphy
your list is very incomplete.

From this list I must Whoopi but there are many more that crack me up ....

you could have came up with a better list like:
Dave Chappelle
Kevin Hart
Katt Williams
Martin Lawerence
Eddy Murphy
Chris Tucker
Chris Rock
even Steve Harvey
