It's like saying...white WASPS are the GOAT Ivy students.
It's all about access.
There are a lot funny people out there and a lot of smart people. It's access in every industry.

Just FYI, you could've stopped here and the answer would've been yes.

The Catskills?
The food is terrible....and such small portions!

It's pretty hard to beat this resume:

That's sounds like an old Jackie Mason bit. Funny at the time, but incredibly dated comedy.

Marty Feldman needs to be on the list. And if the list is funny people then there are quite a few that need to come off.

While there are some strange entries on your list (Pauly Shore??? BTW Hoffman and Wilder are actors, not comedians. I will say it's nice someone here has even heard of Mort Sahl), your basic point is quite obvious.
The Jewish migration to America around the turn of the last century coincided with the ever-increasing urbanization of the country. These two events would revolutionize American humor, altering it from the cracker barrel style (Will Rogers, Andy Griffith) to the new urban and mostly Jewish style: faster paced and a lot more cynical.

Almost all Jews are atheists. It is a cultural identification more than a religious one for most I grew up with.
