      I'd personally add Mark Normand and Rory Scovel into the mix.
      Sidenote: considering how quickly stand-up comedy is evolving, I'd say that Wood Jr, Koy and Peter's aren't really part of the "modern" age, as they have each been doing it for over 20 years.
      That's like calling Snoop Dog and Dr. Dre some of the best hip-hop artists of the modern age.
