7. Alan King and Bob Newhart, two of my favorites. Clever and clean comedy (mostly). King was even funny when he turned up as a character in Good Fellas.
   I saw Bob Newhart once at Sahara Tahoe. Two of his routines involved his famous telephone conversations, and another bit where he acted out how possessive old ladies were on slot machines. Hilarious.
   Didn’t get to see Alan King since I usually saw shows via comped tickets, but none were his shows. Great humor, though.

9. Love Alan King.
   His book, “The Neighbors Are Scaring My Wolf” is hilarious, & worth another read.

10. Oops, sorry, that was Jack Douglas – got my old comics confused.
