re: Top 5 Comedians - Does Norm Macdonald fall into that discussion

Any "Top" list of comedians is almost useless and is an exercise in futility.
Comedy and humor is so subjective. It is too subjective to even attempt some universal list of best comedians. Not only is it subjective, but it is often restricted by time and circumstance. Sure, some of the best can transcend those restraints, but some of the best can also be minimized or forgotten.
For instance, your list didn't include Dangerfield or Rickles. Many modern comedians stand on the shoulders of those two as well as others.
Just enjoy a comedian for what they bring. Laugh at their jokes, and think about them, because the best joke tellers are the ones who also make you think.
