Comedians/Comediennes That Had Their Own Show - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

andress_jade · 09-02-2017, 03:53 AM

I was lying in bed unable to sleep and an old 90's sitcom came on, Grace Under Fire and it just made me think about how many sitcoms starred comedians or comediennes. They were pretty popular back then.
Grace Under Fire- Brett Butler
Roseanne-Roseanne Barr
Seinfeld-Jerry Seinfeld
Home Improvement-Tim Allen
Ellen-Ellen DeGeneres (This was the sitcom she starred in before her talk show.)
The Larry Sanders Show-Garry Shandling

See if you can think of anymore, I know I'm missing some.
