I like Dave Coulier. David Alan Grier is another funny guy, but better suited for sketch comedy. | ||

What about Sinbad and the local comedians: CoCo Foolish, I think that they are funny too! Besides, I think Robin Williams is fantastic!! (Message edited by observant2art on December 19, 2005) | ||

David Alan Grier is a fellow Cass Tech alum, as is Lily Tomlin. Ed McMahon, if you consider him a comedian, is a Wayne State grad. Sindbad is from either St. Joseph or Benton Harbor. | ||

Too bad Detroit doesn't (any longer) have a Jewishtown (like the proposed Africantown). Jjaba could open up a (westside) combination Jewish comedy club & fish farm..... ...called "Schtick & Gefillte".  | ||

Sonny Eliot - his weather forecasts are always worth a chuckle or 2... A quote from WWJ's website: Sonny’s been making Detroiters smile about the weather for years. Unlike any other in the country, Eliot’s weathercasts are a mixture of fast-paced humor, bits of far-out philosophy, one liners, improbable analogies and similes, and, not to be overlooked, easy-to-understand weather forecasts. The National Association of TV Program Executives (NATPE) has named his witty reports the nation’s best. | ||

Sinbad is from Benton Harbor, I am from St. Joseph and see him around every so often when he is back home. He graduated from Benton Harbor High School and his father is a pastor in Benton Harbor. I believe he has a home on the lake here too. | ||

Not necessarily a comedian -- but I think he's pretty damn funny -- Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead) is from Royal Oak. |
