I beleive that Comedians have a very hard job. They have to get up infront of a whole bunch of people who may or may not be drunk and they have to make them laugh. if they dont make them laugh they are screwed out of a lot of money. however if they do make them laugh they become a really big hit and they end up on comedy central which is great.  now some of the comedians out there are funny as hell while others fail to impress anyone but there dedicated fans.  there are many types of comedians too. there are internet comedians, stand up comedians, and others. i like the first two because thats just all im used to seeing. no but back to the point comedians need to be paid more because they work hard at trying to find good material and finding places that want them to perform for them.
