Weekly Poll Results: Best Current Comedy Star

Posted by Sean on March 25th, 2009   Filed under: Polls

So who is the top actor or actress working in comedy right now? Well, according to you, Film Junk readers, Seth Rogen is currently #1, followed very closely by Paul Rudd. Will Ferrell is third, and both Tina Fey and Steve Carell tied for the fourth spot. I have to admit, I really don’t think Paul Rudd deserves to be so high on the list (especially after seeing I Love You, Man) but I guess he’s got a lot of people fooled. Vince Vaughn’s lack of votes seems to prove that you’re only as good as your last movie. Do you agree with these results? How long before people get sick of Seth Rogen?

1. Seth Rogen — 22.9%
2. Paul Rudd — 19.6%
3. Will Ferrell — 14.2%
4. Steve Carell — 11.6%
4. Tina Fey — 11.6%
6. Jason Segel — 6.5%
7. Jim Carrey — 4%
8. Ben Stiller — 3.3%
8. Adam Sandler — 3.3%
10. Vince Vaughn — 2.9%

  1. I’ve never really found Paul Rudd funny. He is in a lot of funny movies, but it is not him who makes them funny. Like in “I Love You, Man”, that hideous joke with him playing the bass, that’s as lame as it gets and it is a perfect example of Rudds comedic abilities, or lack thereof.

  2. I think Tina should have been #1, but I do have to hand it to my girl for being the only female on the list!!! Watch 30 Rock Thursday nights at 9:30pm and I gaurantee ya’ll will be wishing Tina was #1 also!!!

  3. Hmm, so in other words, there isn’t one popular comedic actor out there. I don’t mind Seth Rogan and I can’t wait to see Observe and Report, but a guy who doesn’t have a comedic background in stand-up or sketch comedy leading the polls is a bit disheartening.

  4. I knew Jim Carrey wasn’t going to win, even though he’s my favourite on the list. As long as he beat Stiller, Sandler, and Vaughn, I’m happy.

  6. Paul Rudd? What?
    It´s as bad as if Tracy Morgan would´ve made it to the list. But second?
