...intelligent energy as Lemmon did to chic, Hollywood-style humor in its mature years. Out of his mouth came acerb insights fashioned by Billy Wilder (seven films), Blake Edwards (six) and Neil Simon (four). The list includes The Apartment, Operation Mad Ball, the Odd Couple--and the all-time funniest farce, Some Like It Hot, in which he and Tony Curtis dress as women and Lemmon falls into character a little too deeply. That was Jack all over: the man whose all-too-agreeable nature led him to wonder if he was man enough...
...gravel and pipsqueakitude. Always shouting but miraculously never hoarse, he's the bastard vocal son of Redd Foxx and Rosie Perez. And when it comes to American Bestness, Rock may be this project's least controversial selection. After all, TIME has already labeled the 35-year-old comedian "the funniest man in America" in a previous issue. His professed admirers include peers such as Woody Allen ("I'd love to work with him"), Richard Pryor ("Does he remind me of me? I'm afraid so") and Jerry Seinfeld ("It's the yelling that makes [his style] special...

...hell of it is, Fox ended with the funniest damn sitcom trailer I have seen all upfronts. "Greg the Bunny," a "Larry Sanders"-like show about the goings-on backstage at a children's puppet show (with humans and puppets as characters), gave me the only belly laughs I have had at any comedy (that I hadn't already seen) this upfront. Of course, if I were Robert Smigel, whose "TV Funhouse" on Comedy Central is an R-rated, and hilarious, version of the same concept, I'd get me a gun and look to make me some bunny lint...
...scenes we saw. Forget his almost pitiable, parody-of-himself speech to the advertiser crowd, which basically consisted solely of his catchphrases - "Bam!" "Kick it up a notch!" and "Happy happy!" All you need to know about "Emeril" is that its highlight reel - mind you, the funniest few seconds culled from an entire slaved-over pilot - actually used "You are the weakest link, goodbye" as a punchline...
