Last Comic Standing 3


The premiere is on tonight. From what I've heard, this season will be nothing but stand-up.

While that somewhat comforts me, I still feel, and let me know if you're with me on this one, that less than half of the 20 "comedians" really deserve to bear that title. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but since it's basically the best comic who will win... since all the people from season 1 pretty much sucked, won't it just be John Heffron again? LCS Season 4 better get a bunch of fresh new faces, change up the challenges to be, I dunnno, mebbe a lil more comedy-oriented, and fix whatever the hell is up with the biased scouting for the final 10 to get into the house.

If you look at the comics that are coming back, the only one missing is Bonnie McFarlane. Instead of her they just have a question mark. Wonder why she didn't want to come back and who will take her place.

I don't know who they'll replace Bonnie with, but I hope it's Jim Norton.

As for the comics from season 1, I'm really looking forward to Rich Vos and Dave Mordal. IMO, they completely blow both Dat and Ralphie away, and it's a shame they didn't make it farther.

As a side note I saw Alonzo, Gary, and Jay at the Improv in Pittsburgh on Friday and, I have to say, they are MUCH funnier in person and all 3 are really nice guys. Alonzo was the only one who said anything about the new season, just that it started tonight.

Thanks for letting me know that. I am going to see the 3 of them at the end of November.



Bring back John Doe! Or at least resolve the cliff-hanger with a 2hr movie or as an extra on a dvd release.

Just for your information, I think Jessica Kirson stole the basis of her Yoga joke from Brian Regan.

Pretty touching moment from Ralphie. I feel for him. He showed some class up there.

Yeah I felt pretty bad for him. I don't like him as a comic but my hats off to him for still getting up there for his father. That took a lot of strength.

On a lighter note, Heffron's set had me laughing hard. He always seems to come out with stuff that relates exactly to me. :b

Jessica on the other hand can leave now. Can't believe they chose her to fill in the 10th spot. The last person to successfully pull off 'funny face' comedy was Jim Carey.
