I was thinking of finally pulling the trigger and taking Sandler for movies, but I've pretty much decided on my last two picks already (as long as they don't get taken). I think it's a good pick.

I had considered Sandler for movies, as well.

O'Hara is a tremendous pick. She was on my board, but I was afraid I had gone beyond the norm too many times already, and once I decided on Christopher Guest I felt that going back to one of his most frequent co-stars disrupted my team balance.
I am somewhat suprised Sandler last this long. He's a hit-and-miss guy. There's not telling who will like which if any of his movies. I liked The Wedding Singer and Happy Gilmore, but I'd rather get kicked in the nuts a few hundred times than watch The Waterboy or most of his other flicks. Conversely, there are people who like The Waterboy who hate his romantic comedy fluff. Still, the guy is box office gold and I consider him strongly throughout the draft. |

OK - I have two standup slots left to fill, and am actually surprised that this person is still around. Although he hasn't been on tv in the past couple years, he had a very successful show (and a very successful stand up career prior to that)...
Tim Allen, standup |

Leslie Nielsen was a great pick. I probably should have taken him instead of Goldie Hawn and gone with Catherine O'Hara as another female pick.
For my final selection, since I don't have a 10th round pick, I'm going with Albert Brooks (standup). The younger kids probably don't remember him as a standup that much, but his work on movies and The Simpsons has almost always been gold to me. |

Buddy Hackett-standup.
A young couple go into a cemetary to have sex. A couple days later the young lady goes to the doctor complaining of lower back pain. The doctor sits and listens for a few minutes before asking her to disrobe. She disrobes. As he examines her backside, he asks her how old she is. "Why I'm 26." She says. "That's funny, it says on your ass that you died in 1776." |

This has been a lot of fun to watch. I wanted to paticipate, but I am working on a show right now and am mostly away from my computer.
I think I have a pretty good team of undrafted free-agents shaping up that I'll post when the draft is over.

I get the feeling that this is one of those picks that only I will like, but I'll do my best to explain why I like it:
Tom Smothers (Talk Show/Variety) Along with his brother Dick, Tom lead a show whose subversive nature was belied by the clean cut appearance of its hosts: Quote:

Swaggs in now up for his final two picks. He will be taking two standups, at least one of whom will be female.

D'oh. I should have read the board. Smothers would have still been there after Swaggs picked. While my final stand-up choice may not be.

Sorry for the delay and that everyone else had to listen to the running commentary by ML and kcchief...
With pick 9.10, I take Wanda Sykes. One of the funnier recent standups to emerge onto the scene. |

Interesting. I'm stuck between two female standups for my next pick, and figured Swaggs would make it easy on me by taking one. He didn't.

Finalizing my team with pick 10.1, I pick Ray Romano.
His long running sitcom, "Everbody Loves Raymond," was based on his standup. |

There's nobody left who has a standup spot and needs a woman, so I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying this (and if I am, good, because I hope she gets picked): I really wanted to take Rita Rudner here. I think she's hilarious, and she's the only woman to have her own permanent standup show in Vegas. That has to count for something.
But in the end, I can't pass up the chance to take an all-time standup legend who happens to be female. I'm surprised she's still on the board. 10.4 - Phyllis Diller (standup)

For what it is worth, my female standup pick was between Diller and Sykes. I picked Sykes with the thought that she is more current and more of the folks on this board are probably familiar with her.

Female sketch comedy...
This is probably just a personal pick. I really liked her on SNL. With my final pick, I take Mary Catherine Gallagher, Superstar! Molly Shannon sketch |

For my final pick, I select a man known for his one liners, many of which still hold up in jokes told today.

I didn't bother with my sitcom pick last round because I was the only one without one, and figured that I'd have my choice of Tim Allen or Ray Romano in the tenth. That worked out well.
It may be a good thing, though, since it forces me to think outside the box a bit. I seriously considered Kelsey Grammar here -- a record twenty years playing the same sitcom character, not to mention a recurring role on the Simpsons. I also scouted Jackie Gleason as an old school pick, as well as Kevin James because I like his standup. But in the end I went with a guy who created two of the funniest TV characters of all time -- which is impressive, considered they're almost completely different types of humor. 10.7 - Rowan Atkinson, sitcom

I came really close to taking Jackie Gleason for my sitcom pick...I honestly don't think it gets any better than that. The other one I was considering was Carroll O'Conner for Archie Bunker, but even today that show is pretty controversial and has some ugliness to it...plus I needed a female so I went with the ageless Mary Tyler Moore. |

My final pick has been the toughest for me. Not because I can't find anyone, but because I have too many personal favorites to choose from: 3 to be exact. I think I could pick a more famous person (for the judges), but I'm going to have to continue picking my personal favorites:
Eugene Levy - Sketch (SCTV). The man is hilarious. He doesn't even have to say anything, and I bust out laughing. He just exudes this good-natured humor, no matter what movie/show he's in (even the bad ones). His role (along with Catherine O'Hara) in "Best In Show" is one of my all-time favorites.
