It is absolutely pointless to do a Top 10 list on just about anything, but certainly not anything as objective as comedians.

But I’m on some email distribution to receive them on a regular basis, obviously sent to me with a Daily Happen in mind. When I saw the Top 10 Stand-Up Comedians list, I was a little curious. You get 10 people in a room and ask them for their Top 10 comedians and you are very likely to get 100 different answers.

So I clicked “Read More” button and away I went. (I’m sure my bank account has been cleaned out by now and I will receive a multitude of future offers to improve my sex life.)

I swear, your honor, I just wanted to see who was on the list that someone might consider funny. I was 100 percent sure that Bob Hope would be on the list. If I didn’t see Jerry Seinfeld on it, I was going to write my congressman. And then I wondered how they would divide the old/young, black/white, male/female. I knew they would try to touch all the bases, even at the exclusion of other more worthy candidates.

And that’s exactly what I got. Here is the list:

10. Amy Schumer (I almost stopped right there and tossed the iPhone in the toilet. They must be kidding.)

9. Keegan Michael Kay and Jordan Peele (flavor of the month … a made-over version of various Wayanses)

8. Bob Hope (told you!)

7. Paula Poundstone (I have no words to explain this choice)

6. John Oliver (check back in a few years when no one remembers who he is.)

5. Chris Rock (that’s more like it)

4. Robin Williams (it’s an insult that he’s only two spots higher than somebody named John Oliver)

3. Jerry Seinfeld (what took you so long?)

2. Bill Cosby (legal troubles aside, I can see him in the list, but not at #2)

1. George Carlin (not a bad choice; the former Shreveport resident definitely earned a spot).

Do the names Rodney Dangerfield, Sam Kinison, Joan Rivers, Don Rickles and Richard Pryor not mean anything to these people?

There was also a Top 10 Must-Read Books of All Time, but that’s a list I will leave to Teddy, since I’ve basically read nothing more than a Sports Illustrated in the last 10 years.
