WTF?

This didn't air at 10 pm as it was supposed to in NYC. After spending two months watching, this is how NBC disrespects me? Bastards.

Anyway, this is who won:
Spoiler:
Iliza

Congrats to the Last Comic Standing! Seemed kinda rough that the final two had to perform one last time even though the final votes were already tabulated.

Triumph the Insult Dog on Last Comic Standing

"Louis, you said that you eat and drink comedy? Eat and drink comedy? That's how you turn it into crap!"

I'm happy with how it ended. There were alot of terrible acts picked like Esther Ku and Papa CJ. But thats to be expected when you have two completely worthless hacks Belzer and Shiripa as your main talent scouts. Luckily the live audiences in LA and America did a great job of weeding out the crap. I would have been happy with any of the 5 last night winning because they were all funny.

What a tedious finale!
 
That finale was horrible! Basically a promo for American Gladiators, Deal or No Deal, and the Olympics. And who did Jon Lovitz have to pay to get to do a standup routine -- or was he being punished for something?

Iliza deserved to win, if only because she survived the trial by fire. When Marcus was talking about attending the heavy metal concert, I actually reflected back to Mitch Hedberg's heavy metal concert joke where the lead singer asked the audience if they felt like human beings. He answered "Yes," because he did not realize there was a second part asking if they felt like animals.

Joel McHale seemed to know the winner beforehand and probably had one of the better lines saying he was funnier than Iliza (and then commenting it was now just a matter of time before she kicks his ass like she did everyone else's). I loved Triumph who had the best comment about Ramey as written by wishbon3 and Iliza "growing" over the course of the show.

I'm just glad i didnt watch last season. How that guy even got invited to the first showcase let alone won the whole thing is beyond me. I had to FF after about two minutes of his horrible routine.

No kidding. Any idea where he was from? I never heard it mentioned during his routine.

Jon Reep is from.....oh you! :)

I thought the finale was a giant waste of space really. Jon Lovitz was not very funny at all, resorting to anti-Bush jokes that we've all heard for the past seven years... The comedians themselves weren't terribly funny but then again, most of the time was spent whoring all the other networks promotions, not on the actual competition itself.

The episode could have easily been shortened to a half an hour.
