- Since this whole notion was brought on by my recent viewing of "Bridesmaids" (why did I wait so long to see it? Why? I could have seen it, like, 10 times by now!): Kristen Wiig. So many favorite clips to choose from. But this one was a favorite for a long time. For awhile, Son would say, "Did somebody say baby?"
- Tina Fey: Okay, this one is obvious. It's difficult to pick just one reason why she's so amazing. But this clip from SNL shows it all. She's a great writer & just funny. Also, why hasn't she made more movies with
- Amy Poehler: Doesn't get enough credit for how crazy funny she is. But this HIGH-larious clip shows her stuff. Also, Parks & Recreation is rapidly becoming my favorite show.
- Maria Bamford: She's not just on Target commercials, oh no, she also refers to Target in some of her jokes. But, just watch for yourself. This is one of her jokes.
- Rachel Feinstein
- Melissa McCarthy (I can't find any comedy clips). But she is SO FUNNY!
- If we're going old school: Jane Curtain, Gilda Radner, Madeline Kahn.
There are others. I just can't remember their names.

Have you read Bossypants yet, all the way through? Because it is genius and contains a small anecdote that will make you love Amy Poehler even more, if that were possible, as I entirely agree with you. It took me awhile to come around to her. But I adore her, and she is completely wonderful on Parks and Recreation.
I still love and admire Roseanne Barr, but also am a little bit afraid of her. Wanda Sykes? Great. If we're talking comedic actresses, Joan Cusack cannot be beat.
So glad you saw Bridesmaids! It is so choice, is it not.
I like Paula Poundstone, especially on Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me. And, yep, Tina and Amy. I loved that skit that Amy did on SNL several times where she played a hyperactive young girl who talked incessantly, ran in circles, etc. There was a sweetness to those.
BTW, did 30 Rock really jump the shark, last season, or was it just me?
Oh yes, Paula Poundstone! I've always loved her. I still like "30 Rock" but P&R won me over last year....so my answer to your question is...maybe?
Sandra Bernhardt.
Judy Tenuda.
