The golden era shows had some good ones, but I'm gonna go with Norm. Quick wit and completely fearless. He'll offend anyone or make things extremely awkward, because it amuses him.
Who's your pick?

3:20 for those with short attention spans.

Jonathan Winters was outstanding.
Buddy Hackett was great too, but few ever saw his good stuff because it was not ok for TV. Same with Bill Hick's who was actually banned from Letterman. And Joan Rivers.

Just the torture Hackett would put on Carson waiting for the slip up is priceless.

Dean Martin and Bob Hope with Johnny Carson. It's on YouTube for you for you folks under 50.

For that matter, anyone with Johnny Carson. GOAT talk show host...

I'm going with Rickles with Hackett a very close second. Both still crack me up when I see them on the old shows.
