Last Comic Standing 7: So far? Suckage. Except for that couple who got caught on camera kissing!

I google-searched for this first, thinking maybe someone else saw that there was a couple sitting at the back, in the audience, and they kissed while judge Greg Giraldo was giving his comments on Last Comic Standing.

Maybe I didn't search for the right keywords. Or maybe this just proves --- no one watches this show that much anymore. Because I found no mention of it online.

Here's the video. PDA on live, nationwide TV.  Check the couple to the back-right side of the judge.

Did they have an idea the camera caught them? I think the girl did (she seemed to have looked at a monitor afterwards!). I think this was a dare.

I also think --- how lame has Last Comic Standing become? Or how lame have I become? Because of the dozen or so comedians that had to do their set for this competition, the one moment I got really excited about? Was this moment!  And it wasn't even a passionate kiss!

The jokes on the other hand? The reason why this show is there? Totally un-funny!

The only reason I still watch LCS is the same reason why I still watch others, even if I whine about it all the time --- Out of habit. I still can't get if off my system. Wonder when will that be?

Are you still watching Last Comic Standing?

Or have you even heard of the show? (The hubs had someone watch this one time a few weeks ago, and he was surprised to learn there was this American Idol-ish competition for Comedians. He had not heard of LCS before.)

Last Comic Standing's Jeff Dye

Am I looking at a potential sitcom star?

Here's Jeff Dye, ladies and gentlemen. He's young and tall, with Ben Affleck good looks and yes.... he's very funny.

I'm not so sure if he wound up winning Last Comic Standing tonight. I have not seen the show yet and I am rooting for Marcus more.

But Jeff? If he isn't going to make it, something tells me I'm going to see him with his own TV show anyway. How can that not happen? Look at this pretty boy. His jokes aren't half bad as well. My 10 year old was watching this with me and of the eight people that performed, he only laughed at Jeff's jokes. (Hint: Jeff appeals to kids!)



Oh, I just read some spoilers and Iliza, the only girl, ended up winning it all. What?? That's wrong. The show is messed up.

I need a good laugh!

Last Comic Standing is back for a sixth season! The judges are tougher this time. And there's not just three in the panel; they've got several comedians judging on rotation --- like the cast of The Office, Janitor from Scrubs, and other seasoned stand-up comics. Getting through the next rounds look pretty tough.

The ones that did qualify in the first episode weren't all that funny, if I base this from the previous seasons. I was only able to pick two favorites: Dan Naturman (who almost made it to the finals before) and Louis Ramey.

Last Comic Standing is a contest that's done like American Idol, where viewers get to vote who is the best. But unlike American Idol (in some ways), the show isn't after raw, undiscovered talent. In fact most of those who join the contest are quite popular in the comedy circuit and have appeared on TV before:

Take a look at my favorites so far...Dan and Louis:





I'm rooting for them to get through the finals. I'd love to see a showdown that's going to leave me "rolling on the floor, laughing."

And while I'm on the subject of something funny... have you seen this? I think I've played this video a dozen times today, it never fails!
