Last Comic Standing 2 - Page 5

Max, I meant she'll never win in the finals (if she gets there) because America votes, and people get sick of seeing the same material. You are right about the head-to-head audiences. I also wish the comics were required to perform new, or at least updated, material.

Gary uses the tall joke just as much as Tammy uses the mob joke.

Gary has used the tall joke twice and he changed it up the second time.
Tammy has used the mob joke at least three time (four if you count the comic clips).

I was under the impression that they could not reuse material during the head-to-head portion of the contest, but could use material from the general call / top 40 / top 20 bits *once* in the head-to-heads.

So Corey could use his "two 6-year-olds that ain't twins" joke all he wants in the Aspen "prize" session, and in the laundromat, etc., until the first time he uses it in a head-to-head, and then he can't use it again in a head-to-head.

I was really disappointed and a little ticked off at tonight's episode. Not only did I hate that the eliminated comics came back and controlled the vote, but the whole show felt totally rigged.

At the end, I was happy that Kathleen, John, and Gary made it to the finals, though.

I really didn't think it was cool to have all the cast offs in the house again. they brought back a lot of animosity.
I was surprised that the comics didn't have better pitches for the tv shows.

the people who watched the videos of the comics making their T.V. Pitches were a little tougher than expected.

The only thing that surprised me was *how bad* Corey was. Only one minute into his set, I told my husband "Unless the other two totally screw up, Corey's going tonight." Laughing at his own jokes, long pauses before switching topics, just bad.

And I *like* Corey.

Very glad to see Alonzo wrap it up, though.

Corey gave it a good run. Alonzo did well. now the real fun starts.

I know, I felt like I was watching a train wreck. He certainly crazhed and burned.

Wow, the wild card round was REALLY bad.
I though the majority of the material from ALL five comics was pretty bad.
Congrats to Jay London, though.

I'm looking forward to next week.

heard about Jay winning last night. big surprise there. now, it's the finale. should be interesting.

I only saw little bits a pieces of the wild card show and from what I saw Jay should NOT have won - AT ALL!

I thought both Ant and Todd Glass had great sets and am very dissapointed that Todd did not win.

I really don't like even looking at Jay London and don't truly enjoy his sets - there are better comics out there than Jay by far.

It's so bizarre that Jay London won! Apparently, people really like him personally, and he does seem to have low self-esteem, this is nothing personal against the guy, but his set is always the same and never funny. I get sick of the, "TTHHHANK YOU, TTHHHANK YOU." then a one-liner, then "It's almost over ma'am, don't worry" then a one-liner, then "0-for-1" then a one liner...so boring.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that feels this way!

I also felt that Ant and Todd's sets were much more entertaining than Jay's....I was surprised to see Ant be reeliminated third, and then when it was down to Jay and Todd, I was thinking to myself "I'm going to be SO MAD if Jay wins the wild card".
