I’m assuming Ryan Sykes is a typo, and not the bastard love child of Ryan Stiles and Wanda Sykes. Either way, he got my vote. ---

Fixed the typo, but decided against punitive measures for messing up the last name of my favorite. :mad: ---

Whats the question? Who is the funniest? Colin Mochrie would be my choice. Who is the most attractive? don’t know, don’t care. Most endowed? don’t know, really don’t care. ---

I picked Colin buy really anything that Colin and Ryan did together was the funniest. Especially when they would do the QVC thing and try to sell ridiculous products. Colin: “Shop! Shop! Shop!. Shop! Shop! Shop!.” ---

Colin, who was a certifiable comedy genius, although he was always at his best working with Ryan. Ryan’s Carol Channing impersonation always had me in stiches. I still remember when he played her as an astronaut, reacting to the lunar surface: “Why, it’s just as dry and barren as I am!” Robin Williams was also a memorable guest. Og, I loved that show. ---

I’d prefer to cast my vote for Chip – or as I like to call him, the white black guy. Chip is clever, his humor is relatively clean, and as far as musical talent is concerned, he can give the black guy a run for his money. I also think that the blonde gal is cute. ---

Please, no one vote for John Sessions. I couldn’t stand that guy. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whose-line-is-it-anyway-the-fat-guy-the-tall-guy-the-bald-guy-or-the-black-guy/521220.md?page=2)
