Alan Watts is probably my favorite, though I really enjoy Slavoj Zizek.

I enjoyed Simone de Beauvoir's work quite a bit, and Machiavelli's The Prince is also very enlightening. (I mainly love it because it was written about Cesare Borgia, but I'm not sure if Machiavelli is technically a philosopher...it's more of an ethics thing, but whatever. :P)

Of course I also love the usual suspects: Socrates, Nietzsche, Sartre. My favorite "comedian philosophers" are Russell Brand and George Carlin. :)

After some more thought, I'd have to change my answer to Matthew Stover.

Thanks RyuJin! I feel the same way now. I haven't been able to say that in a LOOOONG time. Whew.
“Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.” -Zhuangzi

“Though, as the crusade presses on, I find myself altogether incapable of staying here in saftey while others shed their blood for such a noble and just cause. For surely must the Almighty be with us even in the sundering of our nation. Our fight is for freedom, for liberty, and for all the principles upon which that aforementioned nation was built.” - Patrick “Madman of Galway” O'Dell

While this might not be my favorite philosopher, Deepak Chopra wrote an extremely well written philosophy book "The Way of The Wizard." I highly recommended it and is a good book to meditate to. Each chapter is small but creates deep thought processes and should be taken slowly.
