I was watching a filler show last night about comedians and noticed a few ENFPs among the greats.

So who are the notable NF comedians?

I'll start the list with the two definites I remember from last night.

Andy Kaufman - ENFP
Robin Williams - ENFP

I firmly think Eddie Izzard is ENFP. In interviews he comes off as idealistic and diplomatic in the way he expresses his opinions. Definitely Ne-dom also.

I really don't want to imagine Williams being an NF. I find him incredibly annoying and I don't see that idealism in him. Kaufman, meanwhile, quite endearing.

Really? I know he's acting, but when I think of him I think of his roles in movies like Mrs. Doubtfire, Patch Adams, Jumanji, Good Morning Vietnam, and Good Will Hunting.

I think a lot of actors would have a harder time playing these types of roles. He's wild and crazy, but I think he gives off a pretty empathetic, compassionate vibe - with that almost childlike humor of his.

I could see maybe ENTP, but I'm more inclined to go with ENFP. I definitely think he's Ne dominant.

I see a warm, emotionally intuitive soul in Robin Williams. Just saying. I could easily see him as ENFP.


I agree about Eddie Izzard. :heart:

MANY ENFPs! ENFPs are THE comedic NF type.

George Carlin - ENFP
Tracey Ullman - ENFP
The late, great Gildna Radner - ENFP (Gene Wilder is an INFJ, btw)
Eddie Murphy - ENFP
Sasha Baron Cohen - ENFP
Russell Brand - ENFP
Dana Carvey - ENFP
Mike Myers - ENFP
The late, great Bill Hicks - ENFP (and a fave): YouTube - Bill Hicks - JFK
And so on...

Of course there are many others...Phil Hartman was an ENFJ and an amazing talent: YouTube - Phil Hartman, Alcatraz Tour Guide

Yeah, I don't know enough about some of those, but I don't buy it for Carlin, Murphy, Myers or Hicks. And probably not Cohen either.

Also, I disagree with noigmn about Andy Kaufman.

Doesn't anybody know any INFP around, or at least an INF_?
I know that entertainment isn't exactly made for introverts - but there has to be at least someone. Maybe a comedic writer?

Carlin was probably ENTP.

Edit: Adamros beat me to it. Cuz I looked it up before hitting 'post reply'. For what it's worth, Carlin is listed on ENTP pages here and here. And probably other ENTP pages as well.

andy kaufman may be (rip?) inf type. he wasn't very funny by my funny bone. michael j fox could very well be an introverted type, he was chuckle me funny and selfconcsious more than what i would think enfp to be. i'm sort of new to personality typing so forgive my errors. just reflecting.
