Arguably the biggest comic on the planet, Jerry Seinfeld made his name with the hilarious sitcom Seinfeld, a show about nothing.

He could turn the most uninteresting topic into a joke that would leave you rolling...

There was only one Robin Williams. The hyperactive comedian was seemingly always ‘performing’ and a tornado of one-liners, crazy impressions, and off-the-wall jokes. He would go off on tangents that would have audiences in fits of laughter, with his appearances on talk shows always a hit. He is one of the few stand-up comedians to successfully cros...
First making an impact on Saturday Night Live, Eddie Murphy quickly moved into movies, with his first starring role being in the action-comedy 48 Hrs.

Never short of a swear word (the special feature...
