Top 10 Comedians Who Are Surprisingly Good Singers

Who’s your favorite comedian who turned out to be a great singer? Let us know in the comments!

You forgot the late and great Robin Williams

Jason Alexander (George Costanza on Seinfeld) ALWAYS gets overlooked in these lists. He is a Tony Award winning singer and dancer.

Maya Rudolph also leads a Prince cover band

Ed Helms is a musician too. He once gave a graduation speech at the University of Virginia and sang at the end of it, accompanied by a student a cappella group. He did a good job with it.

Megan Mullally should be in this list.

This has already been said, but Megan Mulally really should've been on this list. She's been in Broadway musicals in the past. I remember seeing her on an episode of the show, China Beach, where she played a singing and tap dancing hippie.

Where is Melissa McCarthy? She played the live action Ursula in The Little Mermaid and sung a duet of “Anything You Can Do” with Barbra Streisand.

Considering how often Masked Singer judges are like COULD IT BE JAMIE FOXX???? He seems like a bad choice for "comedians we didn't know could sing."

you had me til adam sandler at 1. seth is easily number one as well as the other top 5 over sandler from one point in the 90s

Carol Burnett would fit well on this list.

Okay, nothing against them but you can take Sandler, Fallon & Colbert off this list because there are more than a few comedians that were far better singers, so much better that they actually win awards & sold millions of records. Dean Martin was one part of the Martin & Lewis comedy team that made a bunch of movies that rivaled Abbott & Costello from a decade before. Martin also had a successful sketch comedy show in the 70’s along with being part of the famed Rat Pack. You also had Jim Nebors who is most famously known as Gomer Pyle but he was also an accomplished opera singer. I’ll also add that Janet Jackson got her start as a child actor on the comedies Good Times & Different Strokes.

Any that you missed? Geez, only a ton. Other than the ones that people have already mentioned (Megan Mullaly, Robin Williams, Ed Helms) there's Nick Offerman, Chloe Fineman, Kathryn Hahn, John C Reilly who was nominated for an OSCAR for Chicago and also sang a lot in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox story, Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds both did a really solid job singing in Spirited, Paul Reubens sang in Nightmare Before Christmas also and that was actually him singing in the beginning of Big Top Pee Wee...there are a ton of others.

I'm surprised Robin Williams, Craig Robinson, Ed Helms, Ricky Gervais and Andy Samberg were not included

Jim Carrey is a fabulous singer. Man On The Moon and The Mask are just 2 great examples of his singing ability.

I wonder if Seth MacFarlane has done Broadway; he really is a great singer

Is Jack Black a good pick for a comedian we didn't know can sing?

Seth MacFarlane! 🔥🔥

I know this is an American/Canadian list, but Paul Whitehouse was the son of an opera soprano, and it shows when he himself hits those big notes. ❤❤

Where's Eric?
