100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time

100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time was a five part mini-series produced by the American television network Comedy Central, which aired from April 12 to April 16, 2004. The special showed clips from 20 esteemed comedians each night and included a round table panel with five comedians. Some critics believe this list is biased towards modern comedians or American comedians, overly politically correct, and/or aimed to sell Comedy Central DVDs. [citation needed] The narrator was Richard Belzer.

The top comic named was Richard Pryor, who died a year later.
