proof of comedians having limited sets:

"You don't need Scooby Doo to solve this mystery"



we heard that joke on every(!) episode(!) of seaosn two.

Josh Blue was hilarious.

This show didn't really need the American Idolish bad auditions with the judges making comments that they thought were funny.

What sucked about LCS is that they comedians kept saying the same jokes episode after episode... over and over again

I'm already a big fan of his. Such a great soul. I hope he has alot of success.

As I mentioned earlier, this is my first season watching the show. What happened to the first season winner? Why weren't they mentioned at the beginning with the "list of successes"?

I think I recognized half the people in the LA audition. Still, the funniest line for me was the one about the stage having insurance. For some reason that cracked me up.

I'm sure you are...Josh!!!!!!

The first season winner was the hilarious Dat Phan, who you've probably seen on such shows and movies as .... well, he's probably been to the movies since he won LCS. The man was aggressively unfunny. Here is his web page.

See here for a list of previous winners. The great thing about stand up comics is they are all egotistical publicity whores, so you can google pretty much any of them and find their web pages.

Oh, and can I have a shout out for my man Marc "Skippy" Price? How pathetic is it that he couldn't even make it past the first round.

FUCK!! I missed this. I dont watch much TV so I never even saw a commercial for this

Is there ANYWAY to see a rerun of this?

that hot blonde from chicago who almost didnt make it to the show later in the night was actually funny for a woman comic. im not trying to be sexist here but i have RARELY if ever heard a woman comic who was genuinely funny and not mention her menstrual cycle. i might have to root for her.

Last night was my first time watching this show, so can anyone tell me if it actually gets funny at some point?

Although I was surprised to see Road Rules guy there, I wasn't really. His season was the last season of Road Rules I watched, and I always thought he was pretty quick-witted.

It sometimes gets funnier when comics actually get to do longer sets ... but even the long sets on this show are too short go gain any sort of momentum.

It really is impossible to tell which comic is truly funny when we're only shown 10-15 seconds of material, but there were a few good lines last night.

Very sorry to see that Skippy didn't make it, but boy howdy did he get fat.

The most annoying part were the two judges.

NBC will be re-airing the season premiere Friday night at 9/8c. Which is good for me since the power went out here for a while yesterday afternoon, so my DVR didn't record it like it was supposed to.

I found myself laughing a lot, even with such short sets. Looking back at previous seasons, I really hope we find a Dave Mordall or a John Heffron in this batch. I really enjoyed their work.

I hate the judges. Granted I know it's likely all fixed, but still... The one guy barely ever cracks a smile, then turns around and says "Yeah, that was pretty funny." WTF? Has this guy become so jaded by all the comics he's seen in his life that he can't even laugh anymore? It's like the comedy process has become mechanical to the guy. Maybe he should find a new career.

They should at least have a small audience present at the auditions simply because a large empty (quiet) room sort of sucks the life out of stand-up routines.

She had me cracking up about how her black boyfriend bitched slapped her. He doesnt abuse her but she didnt get his complicated handshake.
Or something like that, but a whole lot funnier!


Wasnt gonna watch this show, but I'm glad I did. Thought there was some really funny comics with some good stuff.

Expect Gerry Dee to go far. He's another from Katz's hand-picked crop.

Bill Dwyer?

The voice-over on the "No Hassle Pass" was seemless. I never would have guessed they recorded that after striking a deal with CapitalOne.

What's in your wallet?

On the whole, there were some pretty funny comedians picked, so this had potential. Some real stinkers, too -- hopefully Roz will be eliminated early on.

There was only one comic I really thought got shafted based on the clips they showed us -- the little 19-year-old girl with the gay dad. I thought she was funnier than a lot of the comics they picked.

And as usual, they blow two-thirds of their wad in L.A, leaving them with three picks for Chicago and two picks for Miami. Yeah, that makes real sense. I mean, what are the odds you'd find a good comedian in Chicago?

A library card and a sealed condom wrapper from 1992.

I like how the one judge said, "New York's a great place for comics: Jerry Seinfeld and ... uh ... lots of comics."

the blonde was pretty funny, and definitely not hard to look at.

I think he was doing that as part of an act, trying to get the Simon Cowell vibe, like he was such an expert that he doesn't need to laugh to appreciate the routines.
