Name the Top Banana
There were a lot of great comedians, and the silent era had greats like Chaplin and Keaton, but for me the best were in the era when radio was moving to television and you had great comics working radio, TV, film, and stage.
I still love watching old episodes of they Honeymooners, Your Show of Shows, Sgt. Bilko, some of which were canceled before I was born. To me the golden age was from the 40's through the 60's. I like the new guys as well, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, etc, but even they took a lot from the guys who stole all their best material from vaudeville.
