    Last year, they revealed the "winners" by listing them in their schedule. I'm disappointed they didn't do that this year.

    Of the current list of the top 20, the ones who deserve it the most, of all the Comedy Central Presents episodes (again, judging just on the specials, not the comedians in general), I would say:

    Gaffigan (some of the best series of jokes of any episode), Dane Cook (not the best episode overall, but still entertaining), Lewis Black (all three of his CCP episodes were great), Birbiglia (his first CCP was great, and his second was ok too), Stephen Lynch (single best episode ever, or at least the first few songs), Pablo Francisco, and Demetri Martin. There are tons other good ones not on the list, but there are some on the list who probably don't deserve it either.

    When the final countdown begins, I will try to record the results in this thread.

    WOW, Dane cook won. I thought he was funny but I thought that Gaffigan was funnier. Poor Wanda Sykes she didn't make the top 20 Again.

    there are some comics that really deserve to be at the top of the list. my vote would be for Louis C.K. the way i see it, if dane cook can win, why cant louis? after all, dane steals his jokes from louis....

    There should have been some others on the list I agree, but I was glad that Jeff Dunham won. Actualy I would be happy if a dozen different people won, but in my opinion anywherei n the top 10 should be an honor. Being exposed to the masses is something that only a small fraction of comedians get.

    The only reason Jeff Dunham is funny is because hes wearing a puppet. If he didn't wear a puppet, it wouldn't be funny...at all.
