Others can debate the merits of Judd Apatow--since I find films and television shows geared towards stroking the ego of emotionally arrested critics boring.
Yet this same list puts Tyler Perry at #8.
Tyler "Closet Case" Perry.
Tyler "Lowest Common Denominator" Perry.
Tyler "My name is on every thing I do" Perry.
The Free Dictionary defines smart as so:
1. a. Characterized by sharp quick thought; bright. See Synonyms at intelligent.
(Nope. "Savvy" maybe, but La Perry doesn't fit this definition of smart.)
b. Amusingly clever; witty: a smart quip; a lively, smart conversation.
(Would doing an updated Mammy impression qualify under this? I don't think so.)
c. Impertinent; insolent
(I wouldn't be surprised if he's like that behind closed doors. The closet can give you rage like steroid abuse, but no. Doesn't apply.)
2. Energetic or quick in movement
(He paint himself as whatever Adonis he imagines himself to be, but that man is not fast even if Tiger Tyson was running buck naked slathered in butter in front of him.)
3. Canny and shrewd in dealings with others
(Possible, if you apply that famous quote from The Usual Suspects about "the greatest trick the devil ever played." And even then, there are those way "smarter" than Perry in that department who are below him in the list.)
4. Fashionable; elegant:
(Nope. If that was the case, where's his clothing line?)
5. a. Of, relating to, or being a highly automated device, especially one that imitates human intelligence: smart missiles.
(Well, only something artificial could live all of La Perry's contradictions without having a meltdown, but, no, not applicable.)
b. Manufactured to regulate the amount of light transmitted in response to varying light conditions or to an electronic sensor or control unit: smart windows.
(see above.)
6. New England & Southern U.S. Accomplished; talented: He's a right smart ball player.
(He is accomplished, but then so was Chester Arthur, and is he that accomplished to come ahead in front of Jerry Bruckheimer? George Clooney? Peter Jackson? No. Way. In. Hell.)

oh please, who cares what entertainment weakly has to say about anything? it's a well-known fact that everyone who works for entertainment weakly has had a lobotomy. so, i'm not surprised that they ranked tyler perry #8. in fact, i take tyler perry's high ranking by entertainment weakly to be irrefutable evidence that he is a hack.
p.s. i'd never heard of tiger tyson before... but with a name like that, i suppose it should have been obvious that he's a porn star.
