Well here we are for the final 5 of our list its been a tight race but I think most people have an Idea who we are looking at for the final 5 so without further adieu:
Everyone's favorite python is in the list at number 5. John seems to have been everywhere at one point or another and always seems to make us laugh. Of course there was all the work he did on Monty Python the tv show. Then the crew took their schtick to the big screen not once but 3 times In Holy Grail, Life of Brian, and the Meaning of Life. After python Cleese still seems to find work where ever he wanted. Cleese was the voice of the the Frog King in the Shrek films, He was sort of the replacement for Q in the Bond franchise when Q had died during filming and has had the role of R since then. Does seem that he might not be in the next one though. So John for bringing out the dead we salute you at number 5.
Everyone's favorite fat man. John Candy has warmed the cackles of our belly with laughter since the late 70's when he and Rick Moranis stared in SCTV. John later would transition to film where he would make us laugh as the big goof that couldn't seem to get things done right. John was in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, The Great Outdoors, Uncle Buck, Spaceballs, Blues Brothers, Splash, Brewster's Millions, Summer Rental, Little Shop of Horrors, Hot to Trot, Who's Harry Crumb, Home Alone, Cool Runnings, Wagons East, and Canadian Bacon. John left us early but his comedy will remain with us forever in film. John left his big footprint on us along with shooting the fur off the butt of a Bear. John thank you and we give you number 4.

Leslie Nelson the deaf guy who was told who couldn't make it. Leslie did things in the comedy world that made us laugh so hard that we would spit our drink out. Leslie had a long and fruitful career. Nelson mainly did tv work for most of his career it wasn't until the early 80's that he hit the big time with Airplane followed by Promnight and Creepshow. In 1982 his biggest and most well known character LT. Frank Drebin hit the small screen in Police Squad but was a short lived show, but was later revived 3 times in movie form Naked Gun. Nelson did many spoofs of movies including Dracula Dead and Loving it and Spy Hard. Nelson also was Mr. Magoo in the love action movie. Nelson did things to his body that someone his age would be complaining about but he enjoyed doing it. Leslie we thank you and you get the honorable number 3 spot.
Everyone's favorite white man that grew up a poor poor black man. Steve has had a long career where he started in the Smothers Bros as a writer and then decided to act for himself. He got his first movie role in the Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band, The Muppet Movie, and his breakout role in The Jerk. Steve continued his success with The Man With Two Brains, Three Amigo's, Little Shop of Horrors, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Parenthood, Father of the Bride, Leap of Faith, and the Dirty By the Dozen films. Steve still working hard to make us laugh and we appreciate it. So Steve you get number 2.
