1. Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Dustin Hoffman, Johnny Depp, Kevin Spacey, Buster Keaton

2. Jodie Foster, Holly Hunter, Glenn Close, Renee Zellweger, Katherine Hepburn and Audrey Hepburn and Audrey Tautou (so I cheated a little on this one)

3. Not so much into stand-up as I once was so I'll pass on this one.

4. Paula Poundstone and then see answer to #3.

5. "The Dick Van Dyke Show", "Mad About You", "MASH", "Cheers", and ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT (WHY AREN'T YOU WATCHING THIS SHOW???)

6. I hate reality tv except for "The Amazing Race" Friends of mine were producers on it the last four seasons. They've got Emmies. They don't work there anymore.

7. "Hill Street Blues", "NYPD Blue", "My So Called Life", "Buffy, The Vampire Slayer", "The Sopranos", "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman"

8. "Batman", "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law", "South Park", "Animaniacs" and, despite posts to the contrary, "The Simpsons"

9. Top five Theatrical Movies?? I can't narrow it to under 100! Okay, I'll try: STARDUST MEMORIES, ALMOST FAMOUS, IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, MY FAVORITE YEAR, AVALON, THE GENERAL, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, THREE COLORS TRILOGY, DAY FOR NIGHT, STRIPES, CADDYSHACK (did I cheat again?)

10. Outside of the original "Brian's Song", I can't think of any tv movies.

11. Not a straight to DVD kind of guy. But does "Batman Beyond: The Return of the Joker" count?

12. THE INCREDIBLES, SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS, WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT, SOUTH PARK: BIGGER LONGER AND UNCUT, both TOY STORY movies

Comedians are not limitted to stand up only. Check out my answers if you want. Some of mine are not standup comics at all.
