April 1st means April Fools and what better way to honor this wacky day that by celebrating some of televisions wackiest comedians.
Below are 50 of televisions greatest comic performers. Won't you please help us improve their profiles and get them connected to the Big Tree. Our goal is to make each of these profiles a shining star of WikiTree. Some are already pretty close, others not so much.
For ideas on what an ideal profile entails, please see the Completed Profile Checklist.
For those who prefer research over profile building, we also want to increase each of our notables' CC7s, and of course, we want to make sure each is connected to the Big Tree. We'll be updating CC7 numbers on a semi-regular basis in the table below.
Remember, no contribution is too small, so jump in wherever you think you'll have the most fun. Just remember to keep us posted on your accomplishments on the G2G thread.
Note: If the final column in the below table is empty, it means that the Notable was already connected to the Global Tree at the time of this project began.
