Canadian comedy Mount Rushmore

[lweiberg]

who are the top four Canadian funny people? Who makes the Mount Rushmore?

Some contenders:

Edit - can’t believe I forgot Leslie Nielsen
Also Rich Little
Dave Thomas
Eugene Levy

Martin Short
John Candy
Dan Akroyd
Mike Myers
Rick Moranis
Seth Rogan
Jay Baruchel
Jim Carrey
Lorne Michaels
Tommy Chong
Tom Green
Red Green
Phil Hartman
Norm MacDonald
Rick Mercer
Howie Mandell
Russel Peters
Will Sasso

Who are the big four out of that group? Anyone I forgot?

Wow. So tough to choose just four. Huge fan of KITH but I couldn't in good conscience even put any into the top four. Here's my picks.

And there could be no other number 1 but this guy. RIP.

I think Bob and Doug Mckenzie have to be on there. No ifs, ands or buts. They have one of the biggest selling albums in Canadian history and had a parade through Toronto as if they'd won the Stanley Cup FFS. Everyone else is a step down.

Hard to keep John Candy off the list. So leaves one spot for either Mike Myers or Jim Carey, with Rich Little as the father of Canadian comedy.

Anyone who puts Seth Rogan above Leslie Nielsen I challenge to a duel!
