I find it hard to put my finger on just when there were or are some really great comedians in the world. Each having a style that drives one to laugh even when dropping a hat, since you request only one then I will go with Red Skelton! The Red Skelton shows had many of the worlds finest comedians joining him, Bob Hope, Jerry Lewis to name a few.
A house hold name where families could come together for a good laugh! .
