Who is your favorite comedian in history?

Asked in Downtown Mountain View. Pictures and interviews by Roseanne G. Pereira.

"Definitely Johnny Carson. I would smile just looking at him. His timing, his jokes, the way he could draw the best from people -- he was truly a master."

Pat McCaw, Sunnyvale

"Mo'Nique. It's not just that she's funny. She's really comfortable being her own person, and she gives off that confidence. I appreciate women who are calm and confident in what they do."

Shameka Bumpers, Mountain View
"Tina Fey from 'Weekend Update.' She's funny!"

Glenn Burgan, Mountain View
"Richard Pryor. He just talked about some really funny things that the average person could relate to. His language was offensive, but his humor wasn't (meant) to offend people."

Eric Rasbury, Mountain View
"Red Skelton. He had a lot of good, clean humor. It's hard to find clean humor these days."

Pat Hablutzel, Mountain View
