If I were to describe Sinbad’s style of comedy, I would have to say it to be much different than that of Richard Pryor. Sinbad’s humor is more family oriented. His homegrown humor is comparable to Bill Cosby, and his good hearted party nature is similar to Sammy Davis Jr. He is one who, like Pryor, has used his fame to help bring people together in a positive environment, such as his “Share the Dream” tour of historically black colleges and “The Sinbad Soul Festival” which performs all over the world.
He also appeared on "Mother Goose Rock 'n' Rhyme", "Panther", "A Thin Line Between Love and Hate", "Go for Broke" and "Nora’s Hair Salon".
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).
Rip is viewed in the town as a person who helped everyone with anything, except his own family- “…he was a simple ...
Picture a short, round, confused man, standing next to someone tall, slick, and intellectual, and you have a duo that brought laughter to numerous audiences. Together Bud Abbott and Lou Costello formed a team with great chemistry; by using their natural abilities and deep backgrounds they produced a successful career that carried on throughout three decades. Steve Allen agrees, "Only a very talented team like Abbott & Costello could have survived the transition from burlesque and vaudeville to radio to films to television to night clubs, over a period of twenty-two years" (qtd. in Costello xii).
At the age of eleven Lopez knew that he was going to have his own standup comedy show one day when he was all grown up. He would often practice his comedian skills daily by teasing and joking and having fun with his kids in his class at school. Every day he had to put up an imaginary wall to deflect the emotions of pain and suffering for essentially being left for dead. He loved humor because it helped with the

Blasphemous, belittling, boorish. Such are the words some can describe Mike Myers 90’s classic comedy, Austin Powers. Mike Myers is regularly known for his outlandish and insensitive comedic films. So you may ask, how is Myers interpretation of Austin Powers a sophisticated example of satire which is undoubtedly deserving of the coveted Mark Twain Prize for American Humour? Despite the fact that the Austin Powers series serves as a deliberate parody, poking fun at the Bond series, it insightfully examines the role of serious topical issues present in contemporary society.
Jim Carrey is a successful comedian and actor, who has been a part of many award-winning films, and is world renowned for his talents. He did not start out this prosperous; he overcame many obstacles, and encountered many choices from a very young age that affected his path to infamy.

I believe that if Sydney Carton was standing here today, the inspiration in his eyes and the selflessness of his heart would be evident. He would want to reassure us all that although he may be gone, the world will still keep moving as usual. He was only a small part in this great big world and that this funeral is nothing out of the ordinary, and that, in fact, all will be well. Sydney Carton lived a great example of the phrase “Do not judge a book by its cover”. Mr. Carton intelligence was extraordinary and he was always readily available to assist someone else before himself. During the time I have known Carton I have seen his character gradually grow from a disrespectful uncaring man to a hero. He became a hero to me when he answered to

Richard Pryor once said, “There’s a thin line between to laugh with and to laugh at” (A-Z Quotes). Leon Rappoport, a professor at Kansas State University, believed in the same thin line as Pryor. Rappoport received his BA and MS at New York University, and completed his PhD in 1963 at the University of Colorado (Kansas State University). He studied psychological sciences, and concentrated his studies in decision making and human judgment, even writing a book called Punchlines: The Case for Racial, Ethnic, and Gender Humor (Kansas State University). In another book, The Sword and Shield Metaphor and Other Perspectives, Rappoport claims that humor depends on how the audience receives humor because humor depends on the individual and the experiences the audience has had. The audience can either be on the side of the audience that is getting laughed at, or they can be on the side of the audience that is laughing with other people.
