Good list.The list is too long...
Bob Newhart's standup was exceptional.
Setting aside his drugging women for sex, Bill Cosby's standup was legendary.
George Carlin's early stuff was great.
Richard Pryor, enough said.
Sam Kinison was a true original.
Eddie Murphy at his peak...
Bert Kreischer, Bill Burr, Patrice O'Neal, Anthony Jeselnik, Lewis Black, Tom Segura, Kevin Hart...
Iliza Shlesinger, Nikki Glaser, Christina Pazsitzky...
All of them are the funniest in their own way...
However...
Hands down, the funniest and smartest comedian working today is Dave Chappelle.
I remember listening to Carlin when I was a kid... what a funny man. Until he wasn't. His last 10 years or so was just bitter rants and dark hatred.
I've been saying the very same thing about Carlin since before he died. In the end, he was just angry and bitter and utterly lacking in humor.
