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
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
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
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!
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.
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.
@@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
Facts. Extremely intelligent and has insights into a variety of subjects. But his knowledge of "the history of stand-up comedy" is extremely impressive.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
@@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
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.

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!!!
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
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
He not lying. I've seen a lot of social media comedian try stand up and get boo-ed.
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!
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
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 💯
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.
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

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
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.
@@xcaluhbration maybe
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
Godfrey is a student of the craft.
Paul definitely doesnt get the respect he's deserved. RIP
Paul kept it real and some of my white brethren didnt like that. I lost a few acquaintances over my liking Paul..psh. no loss of mine!

Is it bad @@df4196
@@df4196Yes, and love his comedy.
Yes I have
Now, this is an A+ list.

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!
His list is perfect. Real ones know. Godfrey is the man.

12:21 shout out, Ali Siddiq is hilarious
Lmfao that Ed McMahon impression 😂 4 starz!
That show was a breeding ground for so many different future stars in the 90's
Godfrey didnt realize that Shannon hates Corey Holcomb an vice versa 😂😂😂😂😂
Godfrey deserves the recognition!!!
Carlin and Paul Mooney all day 🔥🔥🔥
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 😆
Patrice O'Neal. Pryor, Carlin, and Mooney.
Bingo.
Patrice definitely was up there.
if you think Netflix should give Godfrey a Special like my comment !
One of the best breakdowns of a top 4 comedians list I ever heard, props to the love for Carlin and Mooney!
@19:55 😂😂😂😂😂
"Neeegarllo" "Neeeegarllo"
😅😂😂🤣🤣
godfrey a fool for that one LOL
The Corey Holcomb mention... Shannon no comment
5150
I peeped that also 😂
My personal top 5
Dave chappelle-most complex
Katt Williams-most consistent
Bernie mac-realest
Earthquake-funniest
George Carlin-most introspective
You're a natural on camera, keep shining!
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.
He ran that shi down like an athlete. Work ethic is vital
Godfrey stay dropping wisdom 💯🫡🔥💪🏾
I saw this title and thought "aww 💩here we go with this 🐂💩" and LOVED this clip. Absolutely brilliant clip. ❤🔥🔥🔥
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!
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
Fantastic conversation, thanks Shay.😁☮️✌️
This conversation was very positive. Godfrey doesn't disappoint.
Doing a Sketch is way different than stand up.
That is a legit line up I don’t think Eddie or Dave will be made about his line up
Why did he bring up Corey Holcomb 🤣🤣🤣
he gone get that angry bird to chirping again 😂😂😂😂
In the big picture I can't argue with his Mt. Rushmore
Appreciate Godfrey due to the fact that he's giving Paul Mooney his flowers. Real recognize real.
The smile that came across my face when he said Ali Saddiq! Love him and Love Godfrey!
Godfrey is absolutely hilarious. Also, intelligent and resourceful.
Totally agree about Paul Mooney.
Great interview 🤣🤣🤣👍🏿
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
9:00 You heard what I said.. 40! Give me some cognac! 😂
"Man you're bulljiving"😭😭
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😂.
Godfrey reminds me of Robin Williams with his comedic style and energy. I love this.
Godfrey is so inspirational and funny. Such a great conversation. 🙏🏼
Great interview really. Props big time 🕰️
Actually i was thinking about doing stand up to.. i think he has a point
Top four is impossible to call...but Chappelle and Eddie are in there...
Godfrey is one of the most underrated Comedians out here
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" 😂😂😂
