I doubt it will even be 5 or 10 minutes!

Chris

Hate to say I told you so, but it looks like I was right..

I don't even understand what's going on with this show anymore.. Since Season 1 didn't win ANY money, what happens if Dave win? Does he just get the title but no money? (Or does he get $50K for winning the final round?)

Very strange turn of events indeed.

Mr. Mohr's golden touch continues...

Can this guy EVER catch a break?

Have each of the final four do another set. Have Dat Phan (Season 1 winner) do a set. Do one of those Survivor-style recaps where Jay sits them all on the stage and the reminisce about their experiences and what has happened in their careers since they were on LCS. It would be very easy to fill an hour.

First Action! and now this. Poor Jay.

You can quote me on this, the winner (Dave) will get the $250k. They have already mentioned that that is the payout for The Last Comic standing and to give anything less would bring them a lawsuit.

Chris

I'm pretty sure the plan was to give out a total of $500,000. $250,000 was available for the teams to win and another $250,000 to the last comic standing. Maybe someone else can verify this.

I was never really sure how the approx. $250,000 awarded for the various team competitions was going to be divided up.. Does the entire (what was it, 8 comics per season?) team split the pool up?

I was curious about that as well. Do they split the $50k among the 8. And then after the next $50k was awarded, do they split it just among the remaining 6? And so on?

Or do they take the lump sum and divide it among the 10? Hopefully not, because that would mean that horrible wretch Jessica Kerson would actually win something.

I guess I'll be coming here to see who won.

At least I won't have to sit through any more Jay Mohr attempts to be funny. I used to think he was funny years ago. What happened?

My understanding is that as long as a comic was still in the competition at the time the money was won, they shared in the winnings. Therefore, even though Jessica was tossed off on the first episode, since her team won, she shared in that first $50,000.

OK, count me in with the skeptics about the "late breaking news", but Jay Mohr's website confirms it, same text as was posted above:

I say screw it and screw NBC and all their programming. I am done with LAX and....well, I guess LAX is the only thing I watch on there, but still... I've never heard of anything so stupid as cancelling a show with only ONE EPISODE LEFT. I am not wasting my time watching a FOTP marathon to see when they announce the winner from last week. It's not like they are proably going to let the comics do a final set.

And a last episode could be really great. The final episode for season two with the guest comics (especially the grandma) were some of the highlights of the entire season.

I know this show was the baby of Comedy Central. Any chance they might pick it up for an eventual fourth season, with plenty of time given between seasons.

And what happened to the deal NBC was supposed to strike with Heffron for his sitcom? Will that ever transpire?

Triumph: "Jay Mohr is like my poop. Hot for ten minutes."

Well it looks like the finale is back on. It is being reported on several sites that NBC will be giving us a 30 minute finale next Tuesday night. It looks like everyone's e-mails and calls made a difference.

But I still hope that those executives responsible for the first boneheaded move, lose their jobs, caving in to the ratings hysteria for the one final episode.

Chris

where did you see that? On NBC's schedule, FOTP is still listed on Tuesday...

Chris

That's great news, Chris! Thanks for the info!

Also, their main webpage for LCS3 states 'Next Tuesday Winner Announced'. They took away the blurb about it being during the FOTP marathon.

Chris

I know at this point we're just beating a dead horse, but I want to know who in their right mind thought it was a better idea to air repeats of a show, which is also receiving low ratings, rather than a season finale?!?!

I guess the advertisers for the lion show has more money than Rolaids?

Good lord, now the above link to the LCS NBC forum is null.

The page says, Forum not Found.

I guess there was a lot of discord, perhaps?

CFG

Yup- and the banner on the LCS page on NBC says to watch the Lions to find out who the winner is.

This blows.

some hope, from Jay Mohr's site:
=======================
FROM JAY...
Quick update...

It looks like we WILL be airing a finale of Last Comic Standing 3 on Comedy Central!

Watch this site for more information... I will pass on the details as soon as I can!

Jay

WTF!

I hope NBC really suffers because of this. They are failing miserably this year in the ratings and each decision they make just makes them look more and more like the idiots that they are.

Chris

It has become so bad over there, I think even Fox execs are scratching their heads over their decisions.
