    Think if Tommy Tiernans getting a nomination for it. Why not Bill Hicks. He is a comedy legend who died too young.

    “You ever noticed how people who believe in Creationism look really unevolved? You ever noticed that? Eyes real close together, eyebrow ridges, big furry hands and feet. "I believe God created me in one day" Yeah, looks like He rushed it.”

    The man was ahead of his time in comedy.

    Yeah he has done plenty.

    His stuff about the 1st Gulf war and Bush were very very funny.

    He wasn't a comedian, he was a visionary who told jokes. A hero.

    Ok sorry. Only ever saw clips of him doing jokes about how great drugs are. Seemed like a one trick pony. Any links to the others stuff?
