Last Comic Standing 2

[LeslieAGD]

Anyone watching the new season?
I really like most of the people they chose.

[BGKdLady]

I'm watching - I didn't watch last time. Some of them had me rolling!!! Some I think they picked just to add drama to the house.

I did not watch last time either-- but I am watching this time! I was sooooooooooo bummed when Wiggins did not make it to Vegas!! Since Wiggins is gone I am rooting for Dan Ahdoot and his med school and comic calendars!! hahahaha Between the calendars last night and the reservation making joke the night before--he had me in stitches!!

[dzandiloo]

I'm watching, and although my favorite made it . It sucks that Robert Varghese didn't make it (the Indian guy from Dallas). He reminded me of Dat Phan. That big woman w/the messed up facial expressions, Ant, and the caveman lookin' guy should not have made it to Vegas.

It was cool to see Rich Vos-he didn't look very entertained most of the time, though.

My favorites made it through, though. It should be between Gary Gulman *the hot "big Jewish" guy--his words), and the black guy w/the yellow & black shirt (can't remember his name, but he shot back at Colin re. the black comics v. white comics thing), and I really liked Dan Ahdoot as well.

We read the disclaimers at the end though--NBC had a say in who made it through-so being funny wasn't the only criteria. Gotta make sure there's some tension in the house, ya know!

His joke about the boogie man and his dad was hilarious! The only problem was that he told it both nights!

I didn't like the caveman or cavewoman looking comics but I thought Ant should have made it. The others that I liked but didn't make the cut were the Russian kid and the old guy biker with the really deep voice.

[LeslieAGD]

The only ones I hated that made it were Jay London (evolutionary chart guy) and Jessica Kirson (funny faces lady). I don't think there is anything remotely funny about either one.

Take 'em or leave 'em:
Bonnie McFarland
Sue Costello
Dan Naturman

Favorites So Far:
Kathleen Madigan (she hasn't done her best material yet)
Gary Gulman
Dan Ahdoot
John Heffron
DC Benny

I only watched about a half hour of it. I think I caught it before they announced the top 10.

I saw the old biker guy, the chick who's dad was in the hospital (who I thought was kinda funny...), the guy that had throat cancer (who i didn't think was very funny), the Clay Aiken wannabe (unfortunately that was his only good joke), the drag queen wedding lady (awful) and like, two others. I think I turned it off after the biker/hippie guy.

It should be an interesting season. I didn't watch last season but I might this season.

I like Jim Norton, just from the stuff that he's said on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. I also like Dan A. The calendar thing is really funny. Sounds like something my dad might do.

Did any of you see the conversation drag queen wedding lady had with the Clay Aiken look-alike? She was being all serious about her act flopping and he just said, after much consideration and thought, "Do you want to make out?" That had me rolling. My roommate said that it sounded like something I would say.

That was cute! I've seen DGL before, and she does that bit about weddings all the time!

[LeslieAGD]

I was pretty happy with the first five people that were picked last night. I think there is more competition in the second group (tonight's show).

Without even seeing them perform tonight, my predicitons are Todd Glass (to create havoc in the house), Tammy Pescatelli (to cause fights with Corey Holcomb), John Heffron, Marina Franklin, and DC Benny.
*Maybe Alonzo Bodden instead of John or DC, but I hope not.

[polarpi]

I was pretty mad that Dan N didn't make it tonight, because I thought his set was the best out of all ten that performed tonight.

The ones I like:
Corey Holcomb
Tammy Pescarelli
Kathleen Madigan
Gary Gulman
Ant

Can't stand:
Bonnie MacFarlane (I think her set last night was awful and she shouldn't have been chosen )
Jay London (caveman guy)

Can take them or leave them:
Todd Glass
Alonzo Bodden

**Can't remember who the 10th comic heading to Hollywood is....so they must not have made *that* great of an impression

[xo_kathy]

I know (sort of) John Heffron - one of the guys who made it into the house.

He lived in my neighborhood growing up. Some of my friends were friends with his little sister, so we would hang out there sometimes. He also performed at my Senior All Night Party (hey, he was just starting out then!). And when I was in college he used to perform at local comedy clubs and we'd go see him. Very funny guy!

I hope he does well, but he doesn't strike me as the type to bring much drama.

[LeslieAGD]

DC Benny's set was not funny at all last night, so I'm not at all suprised that they chose Alonzo Bodden. I was, however, shocked that they chose Jay London. Did anyone else notice, though, that Jay Mohr mentioned knowing and admiring London? I feel like the people involved with the show are just picking people they know this year.
