I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet and even more surprised that someone didn't call the panelists on this show worthless hacks because Norton didn't make the cut.
As for the actual list, #1 & #2 are pretty much accurate and could even be interchanged, but as for the rest there are some strange placings. Take #4 for example. Woody Allen? I'm not saying he wasn't funny, but he shouldn't have placed that high.
Anyway, here are the full 100 comics.
100 Greatest Standups of All-Time
Regan's not on the list but Cedrick the Entertainer is
i call shenanigans
norton isnt very well known yet
Woody is a fantastic standup comedian...go listen to his two albums from the 70's. and VERY infuential.
I think I may be the only one who hates Norton.
You knew the top twenty though except that Woody Allen surprised me. You really don't know him for his stand up, so that was weird
john stewart should have been higher, he's so underrated.
Jim Carrey wasn't known for his stand up either.

Speaking of, I never really thought Colin Quinn was all that funny. I'm thinking he got a little extra consideration due to the fact he has a show on this channel. I mean, come on. Regan isn't on the list at all, Breuer is at #91 and Quinn is #56.
The fact that Regan didn't make this list (but Robert Klein did) really annoys me.
