The one and only Steve Martin
Mandatory is responsible for the list and the fact that "Carrot Top" is the funniest standup comedian from Florida.  But at least they had one, Wyoming, Vermont and yes, North Dakota have NO funny people.

Here's their criteria.

  1. The comedian had to be BORN in the state. Even if it was only for 6 months of their lives. Things got too complicated once we starting looking into where people grew up.
  2. If a number of legendary comedians were all born in the same state, we watched some clips of each comedian doing stand up back to back and brought it to a vote. We wish we could've included more than one for some states.
  3. A few very popular comedians weren't even born in the U.S., so they were out of the running from the get go.
  4. We're very sorry about Larry the Cable Guy and Carrot Top. We really had no other options.
  5. States with X's. You seriously need to step up your funny game.
