I don't think I've ever laughed at Robin Williams. It's painful to watch interviews with him. The host inevitably forces polite yet over-the-top laughter.
The only time I laughed at Jim Carrey (well I may have laughed some at Dumb & Dumber) was his Letterman Rich People Laugh bit. Letterman's laugh was genuine too.

Comedy gets old. You can't judge Bob Hope from today's prospective, I suspect he was actually funny in his day when he was novel. Likewise many of the comedians named above. In my lifetime, for example, Chevy Chase was funny once. But he ran out of material, and his material got old and familiar.

Have to agree on Robin Williams -- that stream of consciousness stuff was supposed to be so edgy and surreally brilliant, but I just found it ham-handed and pretentious. When I was a teen other kids were so smug when older people would say about Williams,"he must be on drugs" -- they'd say "old people just don't get how wild Robin is, how surreal. Drugs, bullshit!" I'd nod and smile and quietly hate him because it was clear he thought was far funnier than he actually was. He thought everything coming out of his mouth was pure genius so he just let it flow and flow, LOOK AT HOW FUNNY I CAN BE NONSTOP, and I wanted to hit him over the head with a really high quality frying pan. Then I'd use it on all my friends who thought they were so cool because they "got" his humor.
Sarah Silverman, she can be funny now and then with her startle humor, but like Whitney Cummings she definitely gets a pass because straight guys are attracted to her. The shock shit gets old after a while but she just keeps peddling it.
Have to disagree about Leno, at least when he was younger. He did this sort of exasperated observational humor that was very sharp, and could be EXTREMELY funny. People who only know him as the tonight show host doing the night's corny monologue have seen a completely different, and infinitely less funny, comedian than he was as a young guy.
Letterman, when a young comedian, while not as laugh-funny as Leno was quite interesting to listen to and could crack me up as well. He was more surreal than Leno. Actually his early humor was part of what laid the foundation for the quirk that oversaturates our pop culture now -- but when he was doing it, it was still fresh and weirdly funny. He was a Midwestern guy who did really subversive humor about traditional Americana. I loved a lot of what he did. His NBC talk show was a brilliant forum for that, and did a lot to undermine the pretentiousness of talk show culture. As time wore on and he got old and was denied his coveted Tonight Show he just got weird and crotchety.

I loved Whoopi as a comic actor -- I understood her early appeal as a sand-up performer. NOW, I hate her as both. She's a bitter, unfunny old hag. It's like the former Whoopi was murdered by whatever creature sits before us. Does anyone remember her short-lived wannnabe "All in the Family" sitcom "Whoopi"? OMG, that sums up all that went wrong with her. "Whoopi" is what Roseanne's 2013 sitcom, had it been picked up by NBC, been like: an unfunny, contrived soapbox.

Seth Meyers is funny. Ben Stiller was funny. Andy Samberg is not funny but is a decent short film maker. Robin Williams had some drug fueled brilliance. Dane Cook might be the least talented person ever to have a career. Seinfeld can be very smart and funny but become boring easily. Will Arnett not funny at all and smug. Jimmy Fallon is only mildly amusing. James Corden can be funny. If you pay attention to it, the cast of Horrible Bosses 2 was very well written and performed team comedy. Sean Anders, the director did a great job. Tina and Amy can be funny when not being self congratulatory. Whitney Cummings is considered funny because she is prettier than she is talented. Amy Schumer is very funny but in danger of running out of material. Joan Rivers was funny in her era and lasted because she had enough tragedy in her life to keep the audiences interested.

I never understood the appeal of the two that used to appear on Carol Burnett, I think their names were Shields and Yarnell. Not really comics, but it was supposed to be entertaining, whatever it is that they did. Speaking of the Carol Burnett show, I also never understood the appeal of Harvey Korman, either.

I absolutely cannot stand Chelsea Handler. She's nothing but an arrogant skank who sucked her way into a career and now has the nerve to act like she's an authority on who's authentic and who isn't. And the way the people around her kiss her ass is even worse. She's truly a person someone needs to tell to go fuck herself (and preferably on-camera so that the clip can be played over and over again).

I used to like the Whoopster until she began appearing regularly on the The View and showed her true colors. She affects a jolly, laid back persona but seems to be one of those liberals who is tolerant only so long as you agree with her. Rosie said she feared that working any longer with Whoopi would give her a heart attack and I believe it.

I also used to hate Chelsea Handler with a passion, but when I started getting into Jen Kirkman I downloaded all of their "After Lately" episodes, which I found terrific, smart and at times hilarious, and this really improved my views on her. She's a bitch, but a funny one (on that show at least... I still hate Chelsea Lately). Kirkman has also said a lot about her on her podcast which is complementary. Although... Heather McDonald recently had an interview where she described being in constant fear working with Chelsea on her show.

R144, I agree that After Lately was very funny, even while the "humor" on Chelsea Lately was just awful. Chelsea had a show before Chelsea Lately which showed her stand-up to be awful, but her skits were very funny. And the show Girls behaving Badly was hilarious. Chelsea is so good in self-deprecating sketch comedy, and so bad doing stand-up or interviews. It's truly night and day.

R77 I've always had the same perspective about Jerry Seinfeld. His stand up is God awful, but Seinfeld was one of the funniest shows that was ever on TV. And it's because of the dynamic between the members of genius ensemble cast. Robin Williams I have never laughed at. Not once. Ever. In fact he always made me very uncomfortable because he seemed desperate to me. Anyone who thinks Jim Carrey isn't funny needs to see the first Ace Ventura Pet Detective. He was brilliant.

R262 I remember seeing a Comedy Central special of hers and it was hilarious.

I watch SNL clips sometimes. Who is the white woman who has squinty eyes and doesn't do anything? She just squints her eyes and laughs. She's so useless I think she must be Lorne Michaels granddaughter or something.

The tiresome side eye middle brow humor is not funny, clever or sophisticated.

Burns and Allen were very funny even until middle age.
Bob Hope is still hilarious in his early movies.
I saw Victor Borge twice on stage. Nice enough but corny type vaudeville stuff. Then about half way through without you realizing it he had you helpless with laughter. Happened both times. Really astonishing.
Can't think of anybody else.

tl; dr
Has Leslie Jones been mentioned? She is not only unfunny, I actually cringe for her. She foists her scattered personality onto everyone in her SNL scenes and just ruins shit.
