I'd say this poll got a good response, I was surprised at how well Robin Williams did & how relatively poorly Eddie Murphy did. But many respondents noted how hard it was to choose, which is a tribute to all four.https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1208802767340474375 …

(I could have included Bill Cosby or Woody Allen in this group, but, well, you know.)

Rx Define best career? Impact on popular culture? Money, longevity? It's tough. I loved Jonathan Winters best, but it ain't him. Newhart was my favorite sitcom, ever. Its a tie between Prior and Brooks.

brooks did so many good things over such a long time. the original Producers is unbeatable and even the recent bastardization was good for a few laughs. i might be the only person who fondly remembers "when things were rotten"

Historical reminder when judging: 1) Brooks had a stand-up career for a couple of years with the 2000-Year-Old Man. 2) He also had a several-year career as a behind-the-scenes guy (Sid Caesar and other variety shows).

3) Bob Newhart won a Grammy for Best Album (not Best Comedy Album, Best Album).
