Forget Tammi Pescatelli...wheres Lynn Koplitz..? she was HYSTERICAL. You can debate the rankings, its all so subjective.. but come ON now.

That's the one you pick on in the whole list? Really? There are lesser known comedians, that absolutely have no credits but Comedy Central. Please... You should have voted like her fans and the rest of the comedians who were on the list did.

Weird how people always pick on the women!!I happen to have voted for Tammy and Loni love,and so did tons of my friends over and over. I think Lynn is funny too, but it wasn't either Tammy or Lynn.
Posted by: HAHAfan | January 25, 2009 at 04:06 PM
You obviously never watched this showdown at all. Tammy was in it the whole time...
Stop being a sore loser and watch her special- it's hilarious.

Say what you want, Tammy was GREAT, I saw he live 4 times and she was always VERY FUNNY and HOT!
Posted by: josh | January 25, 2009 at 04:12 PM
What about Kathleen Madigan? She wasn't even in top 100? I saw her Live and she was great as well.
Posted by: josh | January 25, 2009 at 04:18 PM
How did the contest come down to Lynn or Tammi? There were 19 other people that you could have picked out. Tammy obviously has a lot of fans. Subjective or not.

Yeah i dont want to start a whole Lynn VS Tammy thing at all.
Theres lots of comedians that couldve made the list, Jimmy Pardo, Patton Oswalt..list goes on. I dont even have a prob with the rankings, not the way id do it, but i can see it all...except for Tammy Hehe im sorry, diff strokes and all that, and i wish i could say i dont get her or something. I just dont see her anywhere near this list..forget top 20...and 5th..? Sorry just my opinion. As for voting, i did once, for Stephen Lynch cause i thought out of the list i saw on CC he was funniest. No i didnt vote 500 times, hell only reason im following this comment board is caused i never closed this tab in my browser and it was easy to refresh.

I think we should still be in awe and reverence that Mitch Hedberg is still remembered and loved enough to be on this list. Now THAT is legendary.
Posted by: BigMoody1 | January 25, 2009 at 06:36 PM
Well, it's wierd how you only voted for your Favorite comedian once, yet found time to blog twice about a comedian you didn't like. You should have used you powers for good..
Posted by: Vulcan | January 25, 2009 at 07:06 PM
Tammy was GREAT and Pretty! Just watced her special!!
Posted by: josh | January 25, 2009 at 07:58 PM
Of all the Female comics, I thought Tammy Pescatelli was The best! I didn't Finish watching, we are at a commercial, but so far of the males I liked #20 Kirk Fox and Josh Sneed # 7.

Tammy Pescatelli is not a comedian. She doesn't tell jokes or make people laugh. She is the female Caliendo.

Where is Demitri Martin?
Posted by: m | January 25, 2009 at 08:45 PM
SkinnyfatBobKelly and Pacman,
The two of you obviously have personal issues with Tammy. If you're calling out comedians on standup-NOBODY laughed at Lisa Laundry, RObert Kelly hacked EVERBODY & Jeff Dunham has puppets.
Why don't you just face that WE Tammy fans are large in number and voted for her and Kyle Cease. People ripped apart Dane Cook for years- now you eat his dust! And Caliendo does impressions of a rich guy at the bank...Maybe your prejudice agains Italians?
Posted by: NeighborhoodPetey | January 25, 2009 at 09:00 PM
Yes dago wops are not funny...unless they are named Nick DiPalo.
I hope Tammy's uterus falls out on stage during one of her inevitable bouts of awkward silence.
Posted by: SkinnyFat Bob Kelly | January 25, 2009 at 09:05 PM
petey has problems and horrible taste in comedy... it's okay, petey boy... you're just like the rest of the masses
Posted by: leatherlips | January 25, 2009 at 09:08 PM
Petey probably thinks Dat Phan is a comedic genius.
Tammy is not remotely close to a top 100 comic and certainly not top 25 unless a clown is raping her.
Posted by: SkinnyFat Bob Kelly | January 25, 2009 at 09:12 PM
Robert Kelly? Is that a-hole who cursed on the TWITTER message board every chance he had,as for a comic?I disagree with the neighborhoodpetey, atleast some hacks have talent, this guy is one of Dane Cooks flunkys who completly Flunked! zero talent!!!!!!!!
Posted by: thomas | January 25, 2009 at 09:15 PM
Still doesn't change the fact that Tammy Pescatelli act smells like a homeless gentleman's ball bag post mortem.
Posted by: SkinnyFat Bob Kelly | January 25, 2009 at 09:18 PM
Too bad you weren't that funny on stage Robert. Who did you steal that one from? Or did you get an O and A writer to write it for you...
Why are you pissed at her- Loni Love beat you too and she just does the same act every other fat black female comedian does.
I am a gay man, but the sight of you may turn me straight!
Posted by: Vulcan | January 25, 2009 at 09:21 PM
I thought Tammy pescatelli was Great, she's the pretty girl that was on Last Comic Standing, she got like 17 million votes so I could see her winning.
Posted by: josh | January 25, 2009 at 09:24 PM
Hey ass, do you actually think I am Bob Kelly? Apparently all that semen and inability to marry has gone to your brain. That milky substance might be what is clouding your ability to understand what is funny.
Posted by: SkinnyFat Bob Kelly | January 25, 2009 at 09:25 PM
Keep saying the bad stuff about her- you just are propelling her fans to push her career higher and keeping her name in the spotlight. "No publicity is bad!"
Posted by: ICASTFILMS | January 25, 2009 at 09:27 PM
By pretty girl I think you mean middle aged woman that has never made a funny.
Dr. Melfi has more chops on stage than this stereotype.
Maybe she should join those Sopranos mooks over on Sirius and talk about capacolla all day.
