Steven Wright (one of the secret pantheon)
I first saw Steven Wright on Saturday Night Live in the mid-1980s, and I was immediately taken with his bizarre toneless delivery, his dada-esque joketelling, and his shameless anti-philosophizing. He's Woody Allen if Allen did a mountain of quaaludes, a funny language poet, a freshman philosophy major humorously failing to impress.

My favorite Steven Wright joke: "The first time I read the dictionary, I thought it was a poem about everything."
Lyle, even without the Wright-esque delivery, I cracked up.
