Lucille Ball is the QUEEN of physical comedy but who else would you put in this category?


I'd say:
Ellen Degeneres (she was great in "Ellen", especially the 1st and 2nd seasons)
Debra Messing ("Will & Grace" benefited a lot from her physical comedy)
Irene Ryan (Granny was a riot)
Carol Burnett
Jean Stapleton (just her physical facial expressions were enough)
Fran Drescher ("The Nanny" was made for her. Her physical acting abilities are really good.)
Teri Hatcher (Her character on "Desperate Housewives" was made for her.)
