Who are the Original Kings of Comedy?
I noticed that the film Spike Lee made called "Original Kings of Comedy" had nothing to do with the REAL original kings of comedy. Who would you consider to be the original kings of comedy? Jerry Lewis? Charlie Chaplin? The Three Stooges? Buster Keaton? Others?

This movie is for black people, at the time these were the present day kings of comedy. Black people don't watch corny *** three stooges. Try Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx, Paul Mooney, Eddie Murphy. Here's a white one for ya..our commander in chief George Bush - now he's funny.
*How interesting that the 2 comments that give props to black comedians have thumbs down ratings.

THE ORIGINAL KING OF COMEDY WERE- STEVE HARVEY,
D.I. HUGHLEY, CEDRIC THE ENTERTAINER, AND BERNIE MAC. THEY ARE FUNNY, BUT FOR ME NO- ONE CAN TOP
RICHARD PRYOR HE WAS THE BEST, THAN EDDIE MURPHY
DELIROUS IS A CLASSIC , RAW WAS GOOD. I ALSO THINK
BILL COSBEY IS FUNNY IN A CLEAN WAY. AND IF ANY OF
YOU REMEMBER ROBIN HARRIS,HE WAS FUNNY (R.I.P)
HE CREATED BABE'S KIDS, AND HE PLAYED KIDS (KID & PLAY) FATHER IN HOUSE PARTY.
