Star Ocean 3 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 I was looking throught the channel guide last night, and Last Comic Standing is back? I thought it was cancelled, I heard nothing about this. Jay Mohr isn't this host anymore, now it's generic guy. Road Rules Theo and Bil Dwyre from Extreme Dodgeball are on it... Hasn't anyone seen this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jay Mohr isn't this host anymore, now it's generic guy. Road Rules Theo and Bil Dwyre from Extreme Dodgeball are on it... Hasn't anyone seen this? The host is Anthony Clark, from "Yes Dear" and "Boston Common". Like season two, most of the comics are professionals who are looking for their "big break". Of course, the problem is that since there is a "reality" portion to the competition, producers seem to be taking that into account when choosing the final ten. So far we've got: - the one note comic: Props to Josh Blue for overcoming Cerebral Palsy, but he's gonna have to come up with some new material when it comes to the "live" voting, should he make it that far. - the loud one: Roz is actually pretty funny, but I think she'd benefit from turning down the volume. On the plus side, this probably means Nikki Payne won't make it. - the hot-from-the-neck-down chick: April wasn't all that funny, plus her eyes don't look quite right. - the "normal" ones who will stir up shit: Joey Gay and Chris Porter.

Because Dat was the least funny guy in that house, and shouldn't have won? His whole gimmick was looking Asian, cutting a few jokes in an accent, and then speaking un-accented English. I remember him pulling that on Leno right after winning, and like five people laughing at that bit. He killed his best joke by getting on TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking of Dat Phan, in the first episode, did anyone notice how they hyped how well Heffron and Bodden were doing, but didn't even mention Dat Phan? I noticed it immediately and laughed heartily. I only watched the first episode and was shocked at the number of "established" comics trying out and not really getting anywhere. Hearing some bits for the fiftith time (Iglesias' "DAMN~!' bit for starters) didn't help much either (and I like that guy). If I would have known where/when some of the tryouts were I might have went. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How appropriate. I actually like "stereotype" comedy, but it's weird, because the two guys from LCS1 that did that style, Ralphie and Dat, I didn't find funny at all. Guys like Alonzo and Russell Stevens, they make it funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2006 Unfortunately my DVR messed up and I only recorded the first episode, not the 2nd. So I had to just watch some of the performances on the website (the ones who got cut apparently). Wild Willy seemed funny as was Tig, although her delivery was a bit too derivative of Stephen Wright. I personally can't believe Roz made it. Her "Woo child I've got problems!" schtick seems played. Blue was funny in the tryouts, and I hope Iglesias goes far (although I've heard his "DAYUM!" joke a few times by now as well). The kinda hot one (April?) didn't seem too funny, but hey I have no problem with eye candy. Uh, why is Bill Dwyer on the show? As a contestant? I think the guy's pretty damn funny, but I thought the show was for relatively unknown comedians. I've seen him on TV a lot of times, such as hosting Extreme Dodgeball.

starvenger 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2006 Bump Thoughts on last nights show? I think Roz deserved the immunity for heckling, as she really got into it. Maybe a bit too profane, but hey, that's what would happen in real life. I thought Gabriel was pretty decent as well as the guy who laughs at anything. As for the heckled, I'm not sure why Chris won - maybe it was because the aoudience felt bad for they guy heckled by a guy with cerebral palsy. Or it could've been the "I'm being heckled by Screech" line. I thought Kristen (the one who looks like an anorexic Ellen DeGeneres) did a much better job, but I suppose it didn't matter in the end. The Showdown. Stella was a dead duck, no question about it. April was funny, but I think that her weird facial expressions may have turned the audience off. Of course, that didn't matter since Michele took 83% of the audience vote, but I can't deny that she did the best job out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2006 I agree with you starvenger. I've actually found the tall blond to be the best on most of the shows so far. I thought it was between her and the cerebral palsy guy and Chris for who was the best. CP Guy had a couple of good lines with his mom being dead and his sister being dead, but Chris killed me with the whole Chia hair bit, "I spread it on, water it and then have your dead sister come over as fertilizer".
