ROB: What is the greater comic creation: Allison Hendrix or Helena? Scientists say we’ll never know.

BRIAN: Matt Gourley appeared on my radar when he brought his HR Giger character to "Comedy Bang Bang" for the "Exorcism of Cake Boss" (possibly my favourite single podcast episode of the past year) . Often dark and bizarre, his amazing character improv work was also featured in the "Andy Daly Podcast Pilot Project" and "The Dead Authors Podcast".

His "Superego" podcast (which he also painstakingly edits) also features some of the best character based improv happening in comedy. Matt also hosts 2 other podcasts of his own:  "James Bonding" where his life-long devotion of James Bond gets to be explored with co-host Matt Mira and "I Were There Too" where he talks with actors who played small roles in iconic movies.

96. Jerry Seinfeld

As shown by his documentary simply titled “Comedian”, even after making an infinite amount of money thanks to his sitcom this is one stand-up that won’t stop working. Won’t stop thinking. Won’t stop having fun. As evidenced by Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, an interview series of people you will see on this very list, or people that could have very well been on the Comedy 100 had our tastes been different, Seinfeld is at his best when he's keeping busy making a whole lot of... nothing.
RUSSEL: Can we talk about his appearance in Top Five? I won't count it as a spoiler anymore, I'll count it as a reason to see a pretty excellent movie if you have't already!

LEAH: I will never forget watching MTV Video Diary as a teenager and seeing Chris Rock proclaim, “ Sometimes, I just like to steal shit.” and run out of a record store with a bunch of cd’s.  To this day, few things have made me laugh quite so hard.  His perspective on life and the world is always fresh and something of an enlightening take on things.  Rock is someone that has evolved so much throughout his career, and doesn’t disappoint. The last few years turning out, maybe, some of his most interesting work yet.  With his turn in “Two Days in New York” and his brief but fun appearances on “Park Bench with Steve Buscemi”  to the recently released “Top Five”, Chris Rock is someone I will look forward to seeing what they choose to tackle next and how they are going to do it.
