I remember that he did this thing about liking Brittany Spears...but not her husband. K-Fed plays like he is this tough guy, but he is a dancer. What's up with that?

Can you imagine getting into it with him in a bar? "Let's take this outside!....5..6..7..8" (as he does dance steps backwards.)

Yes, now I remember! Thanks Mamie & Mary! I remember at the time just liking that his act wasn't all about his reality past. I thought Marc Price used his TV past a little too much in his audition piece, which I might have found funny if I hadn't seen him do the same bits every other time I've seen him on anything.

I used to work with a guy (Ruben) who bore a strong resemblance to Marc Price. He was quickly nicknamed Skippy by another coworker and just hated it. The guy who gave him the nickname was one of those people who does stuff like that hoping it will irritate you...and is only encouraged by any negative reaction. So, Ruben played it off like he didn't mind, hoping the other guy would cut it out...but he never did. While we no longer work together, we are still friends, and I have to admit I still have fun from time to time calling him Skippy just to see his reaction (it is not nearly as bad as his reaction to the mention of Mickey Rooney, but that is another story altogether).

Awwww Mamie . Alway love seeing you too hun. Least BB will be here relatively soon...you'll be sick of me then tehehehe!

And btw I enjoyed seeing "Skippy" but somehow missed his bit and wanted to see it. Did they show it? I don't recall being away from the TV for really long. Figures SHRUG! And I don't think I've seen him on anything since Family Ties.

Was just at the NBC site, and in their Friday line-up they have Last Comic Standing airing at 9p. I think this is an encore airing of last night's show, for those of you who missed it.

You know, I don't know what Ruben's Mickey Rooney story was...but he just had this unreasonable hatred of/aversion to Mickey Rooney. Now, normally, a person could go through their daily life without that being a issue, but we worked at Turner Classic Movies at the time, so Mickey Rooney quite often popped up in the course of our daily work (well, in movies & promos, not actually in person or anything). And it was just hilarious to watch Ruben seething over having to watch anything with Mickey Rooney. He'd just rant and rave, and he is one of those people who is so mild-mannered most of the time that it is that much funnier when they go off the deep end. Cruel people that we were, we'd bring up Mickey Rooney just for fun...and we never hesitated to let him know when we were doing a Mickey Rooney birthday tribute or something. Something you'd definitely have to witness to get just how funny it was, but it was quite hilarious.

Roz was hilarious and has great delivery, I hope she makes it to the house. Her joke about being celibate was the best of the night.

Does anyone remember the comedienne with cerebral palsy who was popular in the 70s/80s? Seems like she had a guest spot on Facts of Life (why my brain remembers that is beyond me!).

It was Jeri Jewell, Beach (although I'm not sure I spelled her name correctly). She was on FOL as Blair's cousin, who wanted to be a stand-up comedian. The amount of my brain that is dedicated to remembering things like that kind of saddens me sometimes!

The young comedian with CP is Josh Blue. I did some searching so that I could call him by his name. I hate when there is a new reality season, and I don't have people's names down and I have to resort to describing them by some physical feature. It bothers me. I think it has something to do with the way I was raised.

Thanks Cdbga! She was very funny and incorporated her disability into her routine. I hope that Josh does well also.

Lafatme....I will do my best to encourage people to vote for your dear friend.

I don't even watch the show...I'm my own comedian, lol,...but because your such a sweet guy and a long time TVCH'er. I will vote for Frances and pass the word along to my family and friends.

You've been a blessing in my life, my friend.

No. There aren't any amateurs. This isn't like American Idol where they are looking for an unknown. They are looking for comics to do a reality show. It isn't a "talent competition" in the truest sense of the term. It's a hybrid.

They have to have reached a certain level of proficiency before NBC is going to let them have national exposure. And honestly, I'm grateful for that.

At least this time they seem to give one amateur a chance to win the audience vote in each city. Assuming the vote is not fixed, of course.

Marysafan, me too. Pull strings, recruit, drug and kidnap, anything at all to get some decent entertainment on this show.

I have yet to see anyone remotely amusing. I also find it odd that they have only a few to vote for on the site and at least one of them is not even in it anymore. What is that all about?

I was looking on www.youtube.com and put in Theo Von. Here is a link to about 9+ mins of him doing stand-up back in April 2005. Says it was added by him. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYDG9Sq0VW8&search=theo%20von

Lafatme, I listened to your friend's set on the web. Honestly, I was not impressed. The housewife/kid jokes are old, very old and tired.

I appreciate your loyality but her routine needs to be better. Sometimes harsh criticism creates a better product.

I say why not make fun of oneself? Why not try to make a living from ones disabilities?

I agree Miz. I've seen a lot of Standup though and many comedians seem to be full of pain. Their jokes seem funny but on retrospect I may cringe a bit later.

*********************************************

If I recall correctly, a fair number of Comedians are bipolar or depressives or have serious alcohol/ drug problems.

For instance, Robin Williams, Sam Kinison, Lenny Bruce, Chris Farley, john belushi, jim carrey...the list could go on for a long time.
