19 Funny Couples Who Know That Nothing's Sexier Than a Sense of Humor

Tons of stars end up with other stars, in many variations of combinations — models and actors, musicians and actresses, athletes and models — but we're intrigued by the somewhat rare and funny combination of comedian and comedian. Sometimes stand-ups get together with comedy writers, sometimes comedic actors find each other, and every time, we're sure laughter fills their relationships. To remind you that nothing is sexier than a sense of humor, we're looking at a few of our favorite comedic couples, including some who may no longer be together and some you may not know about.

They're with other people now, but when Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel dated for several years in the mid-2000s, they were the ultimate comedy power couple. The late-night host even got worked into the stand-up comedian's bits, like in this famous joke about their different religions: "I wear this St. Christopher medal sometimes because — I’m Jewish, but my boyfriend is Catholic — it was cute the way he gave it to me. He said if it doesn’t burn through my skin it will protect me.”
