Bro you making no sense comedians roast and tear down ppl for a living 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ but you wanna boo hooo comedians who already steal from others. Y’all pick n choose morals
Those are gonna be the top 4 for anyone who made it on an average persons top 4. Dave and Eddie have the most money but I’m sure even they would agree that Pryor, Carlin, Foxx and Mooney. Eddie is the leader of the modern generation and he looked up to those comedians
Mooney doesn't get the respect he deserves. Carlin wasn't just a brilliant comedian, he was a philosopher who also happened to be hilarious and incredible at writing jokes
There may be an actual reason of why that is and it’s not a good one. I’ll just leave it to you and whoever else reads my comment to guess why that maybe is
Shannon seems to be rushing him and not letting him get into his groove. You see the difference with guys he reveres as opposed to guys he just thinks he’s doing an interview with -
I think Carlin's biggest strength, that hasn't been listed that I can see, is that he could EASILY move through his set without a hard pause to the next thing. Offhand, I only know of a single time in a special where he said "I don't have an ending on this joke, so I'm just going to bow" before moving on.
Im glad he mentioned the fundraising because I was thinking that he needs to make his own special and we need to support this brother. It's about time he got his shine under the lights!
Godfrey is in the intelligent genre of comedy, I'd compare him to Dave. He touches on all the spectre of societal issues. A marvel to watch. Kudos!!! Let's donate to the fund.
Arsenio is also underrated. I’ve seen him a couple of years ago at the Arlington improv funny from start to finish. Just well polished timing was impeccable.
@@steppinrzr8396 Not only that, but at the time the top late night show was Johnny Carson. Other networks failed at delivering a late night show to compete with his show and it was untouchable until the Arsenio Show came. I don't know if it ever beat the Carson show in ratings, but he was the only one who could compete against Carson's show. And he didn't do that because he wasn't funny. He left the business in the late 90s and got overlooked as time went on but he is a very talented comedian.
I used to see Dave Chappelle in the Village, NYC back in the mid 90's, way before he was known. He would be in Washington Square park telling jokes. I thought he was homeless at that time.
@@Dipset415it was a different time and for a lot of us we were kids so it will always be top tier. Same with Martin Lawrence you so crazy and kings of comedy
Godfrey is great, all around, his humor, his love and respect for the art form and for the participants is amazing .His impersonations are hilarious also!
Facts. Extremely intelligent and has insights into a variety of subjects. But his knowledge of "the history of stand-up comedy" is extremely impressive.
He never will unfortunately Wont sell out Plus he's pro Farrakhan That's anathema to the powers that be You can say what you think or have Hollywood success,can't have both
I've ALWAYS said when Godfrey does the comedians that have passed its like he's channeling them... it feels like they're in the room when he does it! 🙏🏾
Mike Epps does a good Pryor. Marlon Waynes does a great pryor. Godfrey becomes Pryor. That one he is talking about Pryors son bombing on stage as pryor using all the pryor imitations not as Godfrey but as Pryor would whn he is making fun of someone in his stories was goosebumps chilling. A level of genius I have never seen befr or since.
Godfrey is always impressive and his best attribute is being relatable. Even when it's not jokes and just commentary he's always interesting to watch/listen.
Eddie dropped Delirious at age 22. It changed standup specials forever and is the most influential stand up special of all time. There are specials before Delirious and after Delirious. Then he dropped Raw which became the highest grossing stand up comedy film ever released without adjusting for inflation if you adjust for inflation the gap gets even bigger. Def belongs on Mt Rushmore.
@@terreyll3148 I mean achievements matter. If someone said their Mt. Rushmore of basketball players, you'd expect actual career achievements/stats to be that decision not who the person likes the most. Even if Stockton was your favorite player he don't belong on that list. Same thing here.
🔴 A truth I noticed is that there are alot of comedians with specials on Netflix that most people have never heard of, its like they just came out of nowhere.❗️
That's the idea. Get them before anyone knows about them. Big networks used to sign comics to development deals back in the day just to lock them up in case something came of it. That's how a lot of sitcoms were greenlit in the 90s. It wasn't the most popular comics then either. It was some dude an exec saw at a comedy club (particularly clubs known for being frequented by successful comics like the Comedy Store) that they thought was funny.
@@MrThurman08 okay so you need to be Mr Smarty Pants and just let the joke go right over your head to be a passive aggressive douchebag. I get it it's all good. That's internet people for you
Carlin was great legendary cuz he put out a lot of specials. But he did not bring the ROARING laughs and was a little too preachy. Chappelle took his spot imo
Dave Chappelle show is literally the funniest thing ever aired. He was consistent and provided a lot of content. His standups are also top tier. He’s the greatest comedian and still going. His comedy has changed and matured
George Carlin was brilliant on and off stage Brilliant Mind RIP, years later you realize he wasn't just a Conspiracy Theorist he knew WTF was coming and WTF he was talking about
Stand up is not the same as tv or movies. Eddie has a short stand up career that's why he's not on many comedians top 5. Overall he may be #1. Top 10 stand up, top 2 comedic actor, maybe the best ever. Few are both top 10 stand up and comedic actor. Actually no one is but Eddie. Pryor didn't have the movie star power like Eddie, but #1 instand up. Name your top 10 stand up comedians, only Eddie is also a box office super star.
The best part of this interview is Godfrey recalibrating the Comedian world by shouting out comedians and not bringing them down or being negative.
You nailed it...Recalibrating is the best way to say it!
Facts!
Very insightful commentary. He's very positive and largely uplifting.
Bro you making no sense comedians roast and tear down ppl for a living 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ but you wanna boo hooo comedians who already steal from others. Y’all pick n choose morals
@@sheLuvsMannyThis is BIG FACTS!
Pryor Carlin Foxx Mooney… an absolutely fantastic top 4. You may feel differently; but you can’t deny their greatness. 🎯
George Carlin not funny
Those are gonna be the top 4 for anyone who made it on an average persons top 4. Dave and Eddie have the most money but I’m sure even they would agree that Pryor, Carlin, Foxx and Mooney. Eddie is the leader of the modern generation and he looked up to those comedians
@@imwatchinberniemac thanks. Very nice of you... I won't use slang again. Cute!
I agree - Carlin was a beast.
@@imwatchinberniemacu need to read more literature
Mooney doesn't get the respect he deserves. Carlin wasn't just a brilliant comedian, he was a philosopher who also happened to be hilarious and incredible at writing jokes
There may be an actual reason of why that is and it’s not a good one. I’ll just leave it to you and whoever else reads my comment to guess why that maybe is
He's accused of touching Richard Pryors son , Richard Pryor Jr.
Paul was great at writing but his standup wasn’t that great.
❤
Well said!!!
Godfrey is like 54 years old looking like in his late 30’s early 40’s. Not fair!!

He not lying. I've seen a lot of social media comedian try stand up and get boo-ed.
Bro killed that Paul Mooney impersonation I’m crying 😂😂
Shannon seems to be rushing him and not letting him get into his groove. You see the difference with guys he reveres as opposed to guys he just thinks he’s doing an interview with -
The Paul was on point. The Dave was meh...
💯💯💯💪🏾
His Chappelle impression was lacking tho
I really feel like his is the best.😂😂😂
Carlin’s wordplay and discussions on politics are unmatched.
❤
I think Carlin's biggest strength, that hasn't been listed that I can see, is that he could EASILY move through his set without a hard pause to the next thing. Offhand, I only know of a single time in a special where he said "I don't have an ending on this joke, so I'm just going to bow" before moving on.
I loved George Carlin 😂
Carlin jokes and expose' on the political world... Has still come to light decades after his passing.
Facts I love bro material

Godfrey is so underrated. Absolutely hilarious. Love watching this intelligent brother.
Godfrey far from underrated. He's rated fairly.
Yea it's too bad he's a race baiting clown
Seen him twice live in NY he’s my favorite current comedian
Very good comedian
He really is 💯
Arsenio is also underrated. I’ve seen him a couple of years ago at the Arlington improv funny from start to finish. Just well polished timing was impeccable.
Every time I watch a Tommy Davidson special (not to be confused with Pete Davidson) I feel the same way. Dude is soo talented, yet underrated.
Arsenio is a flake.
I think he used to write for Eddie
@@steppinrzr8396 Not only that, but at the time the top late night show was Johnny Carson. Other networks failed at delivering a late night show to compete with his show and it was untouchable until the Arsenio Show came.

I'm so glad he name dropped Ali Siddiq. Definitely one of my favorite current comics. I still gotta watch Domino Effect 3
Mexicans got on boots
He shouted out Tony Woods - Godfrey a real one. TW is funny af.
I love his Doodoo boy joke. 😂😂
I swear lol.
Facts look up 30 Mins Too Soon
I like his Mt. Rushmore
It's dope. People are in the comments talking about naa this naa that, but it is Godfrey's Mt. Rushmore.
I like it too 😊
I gotta do my research or carlin
Me too.
Three of the comedians he named all wrote together so basically that's the same material.
Thank you, Mr. Sharpe, for having this young man on your show. This guy is very funny. I hope he gets his due.
Him and Sharpe same age
@@InfoOnly2Uperhaps the original commenter is older than both of them.

@@steppinrzr8396 What are you talking about? 😑
Eddie’s Delirious and RAW are both top 5 all time specials. I can understand not putting him on the Mount, but those two are immaculate.
Naw it’s not bro lol
@@MikeJones-fz2mtdef not folks was hying them up and when I finally watched I was like naw💯😭
Nothing is greater than Raw, the timing, the writing, the delivery all perfect
@@Dipset415it was a different time and for a lot of us we were kids so it will always be top tier. Same with Martin Lawrence you so crazy and kings of comedy
Ali Saadiq stand up is better
Godfrey is a student of the craft.
No one will every be more famous than Eddie Murphy in the 80s besides Michael Jackson
Mike Tyson has a debate too
Michael Jackson. Jordan was only famous in America. No one watched NBA outside of the US in the 80's. The rest of the world barely watches it today.
@SonnyK248 who said anything about Jordan? Sounds like u obsessed with him ,especially considering Mike Q rating is higher than Eddie's.
Michael Jordan....
The other Michaels
It’s super cool that Shannon remembers what Wayne said to provide context for Godfrey.
People forget godfrey is 54....my guy looking like he's in his 30's
Godfrey is great, all around, his humor, his love and respect for the art form and for the participants is amazing .His impersonations are hilarious also!
If you're old enough we all remember Star Search, C'mon dawg..
Godfrey one of the best in the game you gotta appreciate his comedic intellect.🎭 🐐
It's really crazy how Godfrey does not have a Netflix special yet.
Because he's not letting the "powers that be " control him
You ever even see a clip of Godfrey doing standup?
Is it bad @@df4196

Patrice O'Neal. Pryor, Carlin, and Mooney.
Bingo.
Patrice definitely was up there.
That’s a great Mt. Rushmore. Respect to Paul Mooney.
if you think Netflix should give Godfrey a Special like my comment !
12:21 shout out, Ali Siddiq is hilarious
Godfrey is a master impressionist! His top five was on point
His list is perfect. Real ones know. Godfrey is the man.
Carlin and Paul Mooney all day 🔥🔥🔥
One of the best breakdowns of a top 4 comedians list I ever heard, props to the love for Carlin and Mooney!
People love coming on here cause ain’t no cutting you off. You could rent nonstop for like 30
Minutes
Everyone except Ocho gets to finish what they say 😆
The Corey Holcomb mention... Shannon no comment

Paul Mooney was ahead of his time even back then, R.I.P. a real 🐐
Wrong animal. A real🦩🐖🐩or even maybe a 🦄 but no goat.
Thank you for mentioning George Carlin and Paul Mooney. I too would have those 2 on my comedian Mount Rushmore.

Lmfao that Ed McMahon impression 😂 4 starz!
That show was a breeding ground for so many different future stars in the 90's
Fantastic conversation, thanks Shay.😁☮️✌️
I saw Godfrey perform at palisades mall and he killed it I wished I had a chance to just shake his hand he was incredible
Godfrey kept respectful. Even though he don’t got Eddie in his top 4, he was still able to pay homage to him and give him his flowers. Salute!
My personal top 5
Dave chappelle-most complex
Katt Williams-most consistent
Bernie mac-realest
Earthquake-funniest
George Carlin-most introspective
This conversation was very positive. Godfrey doesn't disappoint.
He ran that shi down like an athlete. Work ethic is vital
The smile that came across my face when he said Ali Saddiq! Love him and Love Godfrey!
That is a legit line up I don’t think Eddie or Dave will be made about his line up
Godfrey is so inspirational and funny. Such a great conversation. 🙏🏼
Godfrey stay dropping wisdom 💯🫡🔥💪🏾

Great interview 🤣🤣🤣👍🏿
Great interview really. Props big time 🕰️
Godfrey reminds me of Robin Williams with his comedic style and energy. I love this.
Doing a Sketch is way different than stand up.
Godfrey is absolutely hilarious. Also, intelligent and resourceful.
Totally agree about Paul Mooney.
I seen Paul Mooney in concert years ago.
Lucky
I saw him at the punchline back in 2006ish. He had this white couple so mad that they left😂.
HIS MT RUSHMORE IS DOPE!!! NO ARGUEMENTS.GREAT CHOICES GODFREY.SALUTE!!
The way you just got extra minutes off extending another clip is GENIUS! I stopped watching a 6:30, but you got many more suckerz!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

He was the OG Negrodamus!
He predicted COVID and warned us to build our immune systems..
You can't build an immune system it's not a muscle. All you need to do is exercise and eat properly, the body can take care of itself
He got everything right, especially woke agenda.
Godfrey interview is the best one yet💯🔥 Kats was the most popular and Monique's was the most relatable 💪
I hope he does his Richard Pryor impression in this
Aye Shannon Godfrey gave you another lane. I mean since you killin it everywhere else. might as well....."how to be a tight end tutorial" 😂😂😂
Lmaoo
I wasn't interested in watching his interview until i actually listened. Respect!
In the big picture I can't argue with his Mt. Rushmore
Richard Pryor is to Murphy, Chappelle and Mack what Dr J was to Jordan, Wilkins and Vince Carter. He set the stage that they could follow
C'mon Dawg..Eddie was Killin it.. Single handedly saved Saturday night live✌🏿IMO
Point taken, but SNL is sketch comedy, Godfrey's ranking his stand-up comics
Stand up is not the same as tv or movies. Eddie has a short stand up career that's why he's not on many comedians top 5. Overall he may be #1. Top 10 stand up, top 2 comedic actor, maybe the best ever. Few are both top 10 stand up and comedic actor. Actually no one is but Eddie.

That’s why he ranked him #1 comedy actor. It’s a different skill.
How u gon do him dirty like that Shannon? U know u wrong for that clickbait title!
Godfrey is hilarious and underrated ❤
Can’t argue with his top 4 those are all legends who laid the blueprint ,he also began with who he studied and I can’t tell him who he studied
That's a very legit Top Four. I Agree 💯🤣👀
