Forbes recently released the top ten comedians of 2016.
From top to bottom, you've got:
10. John Bishop — $7 million
9. Russell Peters — $9 million
8. Gabriel Iglesias — $9.5 million
7. Jim Gaffigan — $12.5 million
6. Dave Chappelle — $13 million
5. Jeff Dunham — $13.5 million
In all candor, I haven't the foggiest idea how Jeff Dunham made $13.5 million! Apparently, Jeff Dunham's still huge.
Anywho…
4. Amy Schumer — $17 million
3. Terry Fator — $21 million
Do I need to become a ventriloquist? And I'm not hating, I've actually never seen him before, so I've got to check him out.
2. Jerry Seinfeld — $43.5 million
And number 1 at the top the king of comedy right now…
Mr. Kevin Hart with $87.5 million!!!
It's reported that over the past 12 months, Kevin Hart has performed at 100 venues! And not comedy clubs! Stadiums, arenas, we're talking Staples Center, Madison Square Garden! He's got the movies, the endorsements, he's doing it like nobody else!
And I'm not trying to say this in a hateful way; Kevin Hart is doing properly what Dane Cook tried to do back in the day.
And I know when you say you like a comedian that can be pretty polarizing people are like "Argh! That person sucks!" and all of that boils down to: I just respect Hart's hustle.
