Getting High with Joan Rivers
I have a much higher opinion of Joan Rivers after seeing "Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work" which chronicled her beginnings on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson to today.
The Adventures of Letterman - Singing in the Train
It featured the vocal talents of Zero Mostel, Joan Rivers (who narrated the segments), and Gene Wilder (most of the time).
I recognized Joan Rivers instantly, so of course went to Wikipedia to find the above info.
TRON: Legacy - Trailer 3

Too smooth. And his mouth moves really unnaturally. Welcome to Uncanny Valley - population: 1 Jeff Bridges.
Sorry make that population: 2 Joan Rivers

Why aren't there more women on QI?

I'd never noticed that before, but it's true. After thinking about it for 30 seconds, here's what I think:
It's about power.
A person who makes others laugh holds a kind of power over them, a control of their feelings. We're comfortable letting men have this kind of power over us because we're comfortable having men be the boss, hold the floor. We're more reluctant to give a woman that power, especially if she already has sexual power.
Most people -- men and women -- prefer and value a powerful man, which is why we follow strong leaders, elect more men, and laugh more at funny men. This is also why, as a guy, being funny is important when trying to meet women. Being funny isn't just for breaking the ice; it also sets a power dynamic of the man controlling the woman's emotions, "handling" her, which she usually likes, if he does a good job and doesn't seriously offend her. It shows he's confident, powerful, in control, and can make her feel happy -- all good things from a woman's perspective. On the other hand, men don't like being controlled by women, and so typically don't find funny women attractive, as much as intimidating.
Every successful female comedian I can think of is a ditz (lack of mental power), a lesbian (no threat to women, not an option for men), or doesn't have sexual attractiveness: Ellen Degeneres, Roseanne Barr, Rosie O'Donnell, Joan Rivers. None of these women hold any sexual power over men, so women can safely laugh at them too.
I know it's conceited of me, but i somehow feel proud that this isn't true in my case..
For example, none of the women you listed as funny do i find funny. There's several over here that i've seen on QI and HIGNFY and mock the week that i've found very funny, and they're also really hot imo. True i can name more funny men than funny women, but i suspect that's not my fault specifically.
Maybe this says something about me feeling more comfortable with a woman in charge? Ahem..
Edit: Oh yeah, and i'm a straight male. Just thought i'd mention that for teh analysis.

Except... Sarah Silverman, Wanda Sykes, and a slew of ones I can think of here in Australia, but you wouldn't know over there...
I think it just comes down to them being funny... There really aren't anywhere near as many good female comedians as male, but also think about your circle of friends and the 'funny ones'... I bet they're almost always male.
And, as said on this clip, a lot of women do the shtick about 'being a woman'... compared to GOOD comedians who have no 'topic' to their comedy, but range over everything.

Olbermann & Matthews discuss the Republican candidates
Maybe he's just trying to be funny, but Chris Matthews at 4:24 sounds like a buffoon. Maybe he sees the writing on the wall and is trying to get Joan Rivers' job at the Oscars.
Classic Steven Wright Stand-up
Agreed. Best comic ever. The bit about camping I hadn't heard before.
Joan Rivers is maybe the least funny comic ever. At least, she's the least comfortable professional performer I've ever seen.
