You knew about Jeff Foxworthy, I know about Richard Pryor and Jim Belushi, who is the comedian for the generations? Can we use comedians as a marker for the generation gap? Did my generation have the most Comedians? The boomers? Bill Cosby, to add to the list, and who could forget the watermelon smashing Gallagher, or nano nano styling's of Robin Williams . The Saturday Night Live crowds, boomers may be done with but what other generation has so many good comedians, and for our British friends, who in the world does not know who Benny Hill was or Monty Python? I guess my being a boomer is obvious. LoL Sorry to say I don't know many of the non-boomer comedians.
Hey, @bashadow.
I know of all those comedians. I'm sure there is just as many now, but they're just not as prolific or as famous, I would say. Maybe Jim Gaffigan, but he's ten days younger than I am, so that makes him an Xer. I had to look up Richard Pryor's date of birth. He was born in 1940, which makes him of the Silent Generation, and while his standup career started in the early 60s, he really didn't take off until the 1970s, so I guess he started appealing to the Boomers in their teens and twenties, which is probably where most comedians do, that 18-35 demographic. Bill Cosby was born in 1937 and had a flourishing career by the mid-sixties, so again appealing to Boomers, just a little earlier.
