In some order, but not too particular:

Mitch Hedberg
Robin Williams
George Carlin
Bill Cosby (the early days, anyway)
Ron White
Carrot Top (yeah, I know...but I just caught his show in Vegas, and it was actually VERY good live...skip the 20 minute cable specials and just go to the show)
 
Brian Regan
Daniel Tosh
Mitch Hedberg
Katt Williams
Chris Titus
Dave Attel
Kevin James
Rodney Carrington
Jim Gaffigan
Dave Chappell
Jeff Dunham
 
Don't jump on a lack of certain people on anyone's lists. I will admit mine is lacking a lot, but keeping it to 10 people, I had to also qualify it by influence and celebrity.

People I really like right now:
Louis CK, Brian Regan, Daniel Tosh, Jeff Dunham, John Caparulo, Kevin James, Jim Gaffigan, Dave Attel, Jim Norton, Demetri Martin, Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, and many more
 
Carrot Top (yeah, I know...but I just caught his show in Vegas, and it was actually VERY good live...skip the 20 minute cable specials and just go to the show)

That's the truth! A few years ago my friend (who used to do Carrot Top's sound) dragged me to a show in Vegas, and I went under protest. They gave us front row seats, free drinks and backstage passes, but still...it was Carrot Top!

Anyhow, I laughed my ass off that night. He was funny as hell. I met him afterwards, and he was a great guy, very friendly and down to earth.
 
Bob Hope
Jack Benny
Groucho Marx
Henny Youngman

Are you sure he was a great "guy"? I have never seen "him" and Kathy Griffin in the same room.
