I think Carlin had a lot of fans that weren't really fans of stand-up.

The fans that mattered are the legion of stand-ups that followed him and cited him and Pryor as their idols and inspiration. Carlin was the link from Lenny Bruce to every stand-up in the 70's and 80's.

Someone unironically claiming Patton Oswald is on the Mt Rushmore of Comedy is a funnier joke than anything he's ever said on stage.

So after adding up who everyone listed, looks like Mt Rushmore would be;

George Carlin
Richard Pryor
Eddie Murphy
Dave Chappelle

Other respectable showings was Norm McDonald, Robin Williams, Bill Burr, and Rodney Dangerfield.

There was a total of 52 different comedians listed (I excluded the list that was a clear troll).
