Top 10 OC Comics...So Far!

4. Ted McGinley- Long before this funny man twirled his way into our life via Dancing With the Stars, this Newport Beach native was making us laugh with roles in Revenge of the Nerds, Hope & Faith, and of course as Jefferson D'Arcy on seven seasons of Married with Children. He might have played Al Bundy's annoying neighbor but here in the OC, we're proud to have him on the block!

3. Jon Lovitz- Lovitz was born in Los Angeles but he graduated with a degree in theater from the University of California at Irvine. With loveable roles on SNL, a stand-up career that has stood the test of time, and now the owner of an awesome comedy club in LA, we'll claim this funny man all day as one of our own!

2. Will Ferrell- Born and raised in our own backyard and attending University High School in Irvine and then Santa Ana College, Will Ferrell is now a household name for so many hysterical reasons. He has made us laugh through numerous TV shows and movies and is yet another legend from OC. With his accolades too long to list, yes we are gushingly proud!

And the No. 1 comic from the OC is...

Lame... Keaton? whover the hell that other dude is from BET and McGinly?

I thing to be considered a comic would require one to do some stand up... or some sort of sketch comedy...

Keaton? C'mon!

At the end it says"There is a bunch more people who do funny things in movies, on stage, in voiceovers, and on TV coming out of the O.C."Comedy can be done through other methods, it's not just stand-up/sketch. Just a thought.

You are correct...but would you refer to them as comics? I suppose I could be guilty of arguing semantics but I dont recall ever laughing my ass of to a Diane Keaton flick.

Thats all i'm saying.
