Bob Saget is best known as the star of ABC's "Full House" for eight seasons and as the host of "America's Funniest Home Videos." Unfortunately, these shows were not able to show Lord Saget for who he really is: the dirtiest and, by far, funniest man alive (as anyone who has ever seen his stand-up routine can surely vouch). It was only because of Lord Saget's Godly powers that the Olsen Twins were able to become as popular as they are today; for without the guidance of a supreme being, they would probably be working the pole at some strip club!
Saget also executive produced and starred in "Father and Scout" in 1995, a presentation of "The ABC Family Movie." In 1990, he wrote, directed and starred in the one-hour special, "In the Dream State," which earned him a Cable ACE nomination for directing. Saget also directed the movie "Dirty Work," a hilarious movie starring Norm Macdonald. He has also made numerous TV appearances, including "The Tonight Show," "Late Show With David Letterman," "Saturday Night
Live", "The Larry Sanders Show," "Late Night," and "Comic Relief," a cause that is very close to his heart. He has also made cameo appearances in movies such as
"Dumb and Dumber" and "Half Baked," in which he played a dick sucking coke head
(surely one of his better roles).
Raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Norfolk, Virginia; Encino, California, and, of course, Heaven, Saget built his foundation in entertainment by performing and writing stand-up comedy, which he has pursued for almost 30 years. He supported himself during the early days of his career with stand-up gigs at The Comedy Store and The Improv, studying with acting coach Darryl Hickman for five years and spending a year with the Groundlings Workshops. He also toured with many top musical acts, playing at such venues as Carnegie Hall and the main showrooms of
Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe and Atlantic City.
After moving to New York in 1987, he began a six-month stint as co-host of "The
If I were to ask you to think of a name that best defines the role of funniest and most ridiculous person in Hollywood, I would bet that several of you would come up with the name Will Ferrell. This shouldn't come as a surprise to any of you as Ferrell has filled hilarious roles in recent years such as Buddy the elf, Ricky Bobby the racecar driver, Ron Burgandy the anchorman, Chaz Michael Michaels the figure skater, and many others. Ferrell has become a modern comical titan as he blew away Saturday Night Live with some of the best ratings in history and has developed into one of Hollywood's funniest and highest paid comical actors. With the way that he can pull off dumb humor and make people fall out of their chairs laughing time and time again, it seems that Ferrell was destined to be a comic from the start, but it wasn't always that way. Although he is now regarded as one of the funniest and highest paid comical actors in Hollywood, Ferrell's comic acting career probably spawned from a childhood hunger that for a long time, even Ferrell himself was unaware of.
He enjoys the Vacation series by National Lampoon. He also enjoys doing stand up as well as producing his own music and doing voice acting.
Sinbad grew up as the son of a minister in Benton Harbor, MI and went to a respectable high school where he excelled in basketball. He attained a scholarship to the University of Denver in hopes that it would open up some doors for him but he was cut off when he suffered a career ending knee injury. In 1983, he embarked on his self-subsidized “Poverty Tour” of comedy clubs across the U.S. His career started to take off, when he made several appearances on the talent show “Star Search”. He then landed a few small parts on T.V. show’s eventually catching the eye of Bill Cosby who put him on his new show “A Different World” in which he played a kind dorm director at an all black college. This led him into a few starring and co-starring roles in major motion pictures and made the name Sinbad, a household name across the country.
John Belushi was a well-known comedian, but was hiding a troubling life. Belushi first began his career as a comedian in 1971 when he joined The Second City comedy group in Chicago. In 1973, Belushi began airing on The National Lampoon Radio Hour which was a half-hour comedy program played across the United States. Belushi achieved national fame for his work on Saturday Night Live. Once he turned 30, Animal House was the number one film in the United States, The Blues Brothers: Briefcase Full of Blues was the number one album, and Saturday Night Live was the highest rated late night television program. Even with all his success and fame, Belushi had a different lifestyle and behavior that was not seen by the people watching his shows (Peele 2011).
Ferrell had a rough start on SNL. However, he had gladly won the hearts of viewers as he did more impressions and skits (“Biography”). Some of his most famous spot-on impressions included James Lipton, Harry Caray, Alex Trebek, Neil Diamond, and perhaps most famously George Bush. His most famous sketches include “The Spartan Cheerleader,” “Celebrity Jeopardy,” and “More Cowbell.”

Soon after, Lopez played in a small role in the Carl Reiner’s thriller movie. After he played in this role he finally had his first comedy album called Alien Nation which appeared in 1996. From this point on out Lopez felt frustrated because he felt like he was not doing well enough and not preforming like he hoped to. But he did not give up because of his vow.
Hannibal Buress shows us why he has gotten to where he is in the stand up comedy world with his material in his latest special Comedy Camisado (2015), but fails to do anything else to showcase his talents.

Out of all the comedians there is, Gabriel is one of the funniest comedians to me. My husband and I can watch the same video over and over again. It never gets old. We always like a good laugh. Whenever we are bored we will watch stand-up comedy, especially if it with Gabriel Iglesias. My husband had begged me to get tickets when he came down to El Paso, but I was too late and they had sold out. I told him next time if he ever comes back again I would be the first person to get some tickets.
...uch about what others thought about us, and how closely we follow popular culture we could listen more closely to what our heart wants to do. And if we could exemplify the absurd characteristics: revolt, freedom, and pleasure in our lives we could live life more fully: By revolting against tomorrow we can come to terms with the present moment. By expressing our freedoms, we can then be set free. And by finding the pleasures in life, we can finally start living the life we always wanted to live.
...d of music heard by the public. The lyrics of modern songs indicate unruliness and anger among musicians. This indicates that the attitudes exist and it is possible that out of this overwhelming desire to resist authority, new songs will be written in new styles that may eventually lead to a new genre. The feeling that does not exist is the feeling that all citizens are the same and that they are conforming to societal standards. With increas-ing censorship of the Internet and privacy being infringed upon with new anti-terrorist laws, this feeling may begin to take hold of the nation. It is not within the foreseeable, however, because these issues do not affect most of the population. Music is a medium of expression for all people, so the people’s music must speak to the people. Smaller changes have been made to rock music in the last forty-five years. If this genre is so malleable, then change must come frequently. Once the elements are in place, music will undergo a change. Rock music evolved out of conditions in society. If these conditions exist again, another music revolution will occur. Many of the elements are already in place, it is only a matter of time before the change.
