Title: Last Comic Standing
Post by: BWilli on June 10, 2004, 10:13:42 am
The second season started the other night with auditions.  It was pretty good.  Not as funny as last year.

This one dude, Buck Star, got rejected at the first audition in LA, and then went to the other seven in different cities across the country....that's dedication....at the last stop in Tampa, they actually told him to come back later that night to perform in front of a live audience.....he was actually funny that time, but still didn't get picked....felt bad for him, but he's got dedication....i'm sure he'll be around again....

What sucks is that they didn't choose a lot of the funnier people.

They're down to 20 now, then they'll choose 10 to live in a house for however long and the contestants compete against each other.....

I only saw the last few episodes of the first one, not even the final one. I saw like the last two cities on Tuesday's episode. But saw Wednesday.

I too, felt they didn't pick some of the funnier people.

This gets on my nerves; everyone's all too competitive. Ugh.

But I love Comedy Central Presents. :)

actually, I like the older dude, Monty Hoffman....the one who went in to have his prostate checked and left with throat cancer.....he's funny.......


and the young dude who is engaged, John Heffron....he's funny too....Ant (the gay dude) and Alonzo Bodden are funny....and I guess Todd Glass is a tad good.....


other than they the rest aren't that goot.....

THAT ONE BLONDE CHICK, SUE COSTELLO, IS FRIGGEN AWEFUL....

yea, well they didn't show kathleen's best sets.

I don't get how/why half of the comics are up there though...kathleen is already established and is on more than one show on Comedy Central.  ( and if you want to see more of her she has videos on her site www.kathleenmadigan.com )

Also, the lady that makes the faces ...she looks kinda like an ape and a did the "I look like a Thanksgiving day parade balloon."  Was on Vh1 and was doing stuff on there.

Pablo Francisco is my favorite comedian EVER. Why he didn't make it makes me really pissed. But I saw a lot of people on the show who were either on Comedy Central Presents or Premium Blend, which confuses me.

The top 10 are in, and I can say I disagree with quite a few....

that one chick....the slutty one....should not be there.....can't stand her


and Jim Wiggins, who they flew in at the last minute, literally, didn't get in....he was one of my favs....

I thought that was total bullshit about Jim Wiggins...they got him to go all the way out there and then were like SLAP IN THE FACE.

and what slutty woman?

and KATHLEEN MADIGAN GOT IN!

I love him, he is the funniest guy ever.

On Wednesday's show the tall dude wasn't funny and the one who said the "C" word wasn't funny really either. Is that Bonnie? The old dude with half a neck from cancer was more funny. I thought the Iranian/Jew was funny but he used the same material so it's never quit as funny the second time around. I also didn't think Ant was funny either.

I missed the first part of yesterday so I can't really say. I do like the Italian lady. (Man I need to learn these people's names) is. I don't think the "Did you poop today?" guy was as funny last night as before.

The tall guy, Gary, actually went Teusday...and he wasn't half bad....I liked his cheerleader bit.....

Yeah, Bonnie said the "C" word....she's the slutty one I was talking about...hate her....

Ant is funny, and it's cool that he got in....he does a few too many gay jokes though....

Monty Hoffman, "the guy with no neck" should have definately made it in instead of Bonnie.....

John Heffron is another favorite of mine, and I like that he got in....

Bodden is one of the funnier ones too........

You know, I was thinking to myself before I typed that today was Thursday and yesterday was Wednesday so it was Tuesday's show. Why I put Wednesday, I have no idea. But yeah...

I guess it's just me but I so don't think that Gary Gulman is funny.

I guess not. I thought Ant was a lot funnier than Gary... Especially because Gary had used most of the material before in the competition. I recognized it from what he used to get him into the Top 10.

I think Ant is so funny. And the pigs in a blanket joke from Jay was too classic.

Post by: eclv on July 14, 2004, 02:16:58 pm
I thought Ant was funnier too.

That pig in blanket joke cracked me up too. And the crab/net one. I didn't lol once with Gary. But as someone else said at FORT we don't see the entire set, but you would think they would show something funny.

Bringing back everyone should be interesting.

Gary was very funny this week...funnier than last week when he beat Ant...

Ant was funny, but had sort of a 'tude...

I still like Heffron to win, but I think Alonzo may take it

I thought that Corey was more funny than John but I knew John would get the second vote.

I still like Tammy the best.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO   :razz:

i disagree...out of the three last night, John was the funniest, then Corey, then Alonzo....

but I generally think that Alonzo is very funny, I just think he was a little off and I was surprised to see him make it to the finals.....

i'm not too sure I like what they are doing next week, where one of the ones voted off, gets another try.... :? (but if I had to pick one to come back, i'd say corey)

Post by: BWilli on August 04, 2004, 03:45:00 am
good show last night.....

Alonzo and John were my favorites....

Kathleen still has not impressed me....she hasn't done much in any episode, and I didn't find her very funny last night....

Gary was good again and Jay London just has something about him....maybe it's just his overall look  :razz:

Tammy was pretty good....

I'd like to see Jay Londong, John Heffron and Alonzo Bodden in the finals....I think London has the support to win, but Alonzo is just so funny that he could win too.....Heffon has potential, and is still my favorite, but I don't think he'll win...

I hope the top 3 end up being

John Hefron
Alonzo
& Gary

I used to be a big pusher of Kathleen b/c I had seen her stand up before but she hasn't really brought her a-game to the show.  I think b/c everyone was so afraid to challenge her, she got rusty.

(had to edit typos)

honestly, I think Jay London will be in the final three....I could see John, Alonzo and Gary there too...they're all funny guys

I'm happy with the top three Alonzo, Gary and John.....

I really thought Jay London would be there but when they paired him up with Alonzo, I figured Alonzo would make it.....

I predicted the final 3..wow..:!:
 I must say I still think Jay London is so classy.  I hope he does more perfoming.  Hopefully Comedy Central will offer hima  special.  He's sweet and funny.  I liked what he said about America :)

I don't know what happened, I lost track of the night it was on or something. The last time I saw was when they brought the people back, then I saw a piece here and there. But I did think John was funny. I am so glad that Gary didn't win.
