I personally think Bob Hope hit a peak during his 90s, and achieved a level of comedy that had never been seen before... and has since not been surpassed. So no, Carl's not funnier - but it'd be tough to find anyone who IS funnier than Bob Hope during his 90s.
"Hope last performed for American servicemen during the Gulf War in 1991, but the show was cut short when the comedian fell and broke his hip while tap-dancing to a drastically slowed-down version of "You Light Up My Life.""
