What comedians does Tom dislike?
« on: September 23, 2008, 12:54:37 AM »
I don't even know why I'm curious enough to ask this. Maybe I have too much time on my hands tonight.

I can think of:

Bob Saget
Dane Cook
Abbott & Costello
Jerry Seinfeld
Jay Leno
Ernie Kovacs
David Brenner
Billy Crystal
Jeff Garlin
Robin Williams

Jimmy Parton.



(I don't think Tom really dislikes Shooter, but it's fun thinking on-air Tom does)

I think he dislikes Jim Norton. I remember in one of his blog posts where he talked about Don Rickles, he mentioned that Jim Norton and others' style of insult comedy isn't funny, just mean.

How many spots do we think Mencia has moved up in 3 years? Also, does Dane Cook knock anyone off the list?
