3rded. Another guy that reminds me a lot of Hedberg is Mitch Fatel I listen to XM comedy almost exclusively in the car, Fatel and Hedberg leave me in stitches.

On a similar note, who is the guy that does the "hot pocket" segment in a funny voice? He is taller, blonde but thin hair almost bald, and been in some comedy movies.

Edit: Crap nvm his name is Jim Gaffigan. He's hilarious!

Thus far almost everyone mentioned...
Also Todd Barry ... his joke about the not trusting the bible because it was written by Jesus's friends and you know friends... they never get the story right... is one of the funniest things I ever heard...
Chris Rock ... Just had to say him again... he is great
Dana Carvey's HBO special is one of the funniest things ever made.

 

[Yreka]

Jim Norton
Louie CK

 

[Strk]

Rodney Carrington

 

[ni0v]

Zach Galifianakis.

Frank Caliendo has an awesome John Madden Impression.
He has a bit in rotation on XM Comedy 150 where he bounces between a bunch of impressions...Madden, Clinton, Bush, Kasey Kasem,a bunch more. It's friggen great.

I also like Doug Stanhope, but he definitely has more of a cult like following that is not for most people.

One guy who I used to hate but now like is John Leguzamo (sp). I think he is on ER now. I think he did an HBO special that they play bits from.

Rodney Carrington has some great comedy songs (I think I'm dancin with a man was one I heard today)

Ron White is pretty decent, but overexposed thanks to Blue Collar.

Dane Cook has some good stuff, high energy which I assume would make for a great live show if you could find him in a smaller venue (good luck)

Chapelle and Murphy are friggen classics. I like about everything I've heard from them in their primes.

There are more that I can't think of off the top of my head. XM channel 150 really introduced me to alot of great performers (or at least great bits).
