Frank Caliendo and Ellen Degeneres. And Bill Cosby sometimes. And definitely Steve Martin if he qualifies as stand up.

I'm not real big on stand up, but I agree that Bill Cosby's good. I have to agree on Mark Lowry. Just about anything that's older is good, like Muppet Show era.
And of course, one cannot ignore our beloved Fozzie Bear...
I'm not sure if he did, but I bet if Jack Benny did stand up it would have been hilarious.
This kinda sets me wondering how stand up comedy got its origins...probably something out of vaudeville.
