It holds no weight, they are only doing this to boost overall ratings, think about it, they really got nothing after south park, chappelle show, and to a lesser extent; The daily show and Tough Crowd

[The Big Bad Ass]

I've watched it so far, and the list makes me want to cry lol. Dice Clay is like 30 spots below Wanda Sykes on alltime stand up comedian list? Jesus Christ.

that's what i'm saying...while wanda probably has more staying power....she still hasn't donw 1/2 of what the dice man has.... when she can sell out madison square garden, then she MIGHT deserve to be 10 spots being dice

[The Big Bad Ass]

Wanda only has more staying power cause Comdey Central is forcing her down our throats. ... She sucks man.

[smerlus]

true she's more of a woman's comedian but andrew dice clay's topics are getting quite old....that "i'm over here now" dvd is pretty much old jokes mixed in with unfunny new ones

[Javier]

Andrew Dice Clay was very one sided...not surprised hes at 95.
