I feel like a lot of the comedians I know of from the USA that are the most notable are moreso comedic actors or actors that happen to play in sitcoms and not your traditional standup. And it’s not to discredit them because those people are really talented they just probably don’t do that much stand up
Whereas I don’t really know a whole lot about the best traditional stand up names
The main ones I know are Joe Rogan (who of course is also known for many others thing like his podcast and hosting fear factor and UFC stuff) Tony Hinchcliffe, Ryan Goodcase, Redban, Shane Gillis, Whitney Cummings, Nikki Glaser, Brian Simpson. So I know a few but I’d love to learn of more

I grew up with Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Sam Kinison, Leo Gallagher, George Carlin, Jeff Foxworthy, and Ray Stevens.
I kind of stopped paying attention to standup after the 90’s.
