And Donut, thank you for being the first person on here I've seen spell "shoo in" correctly! Everyone writes "shoe in" which doesn't mean anything. I always want to correct it but it feels snotty to correct people. It seems like a lot of common phrases, which people have always spoken but rarely written, end up getting butchered when finally written out. I forget the other ones that bother me right now though.

One that really bugs me, Madelane, is when people write, "it doesn't 'phase' me". I want to correct them and tell them it's FAZE. That does faze me!

ones that bother me are " howsyamomandthem" when it is really howsyamomanddem" or when your "fixing" to do "something" when is should be "fixin to do someten"

My hubby is a NYer and I'm a southern gal and he's always laughed about me saying, "I'm fixin' to go to the store" or "fixin' to do something". Its sounds perfectly normal to me! LOL

imho!! i would say josh won for following reasons 1 he was funny for most of his stuff 2 ty reused quite a bit of material 3 ty also used a joke that went for awhile and punch line got bleeped out considerably because of language to the point you have no idea what was said. 4 ty's last joke ran out of time so also was not finished 5 america is in love with a handicapped man that can entertain us as well as he has. < may not be politically correct but it is true. i also would like to say i heard the most downloaded comics and i feel i know why they did not make the main last comic standing main show.

I voted for Ty. I liked Ty's jokes better even though he ran out of time. Josh is a great guy, but for me his handicap humor is wearing thin. But you're right, Josh will probably win.

I voted for Ty too, but as my aunt who has CP called me tonight, and told me I was a wasting my vote, I know she is right. She has met Josh before and seen his act. She says that it is funny the first time, but it always revolves around his disability and America finds that endearing and wants to help. She says he is a shoo in. I tend to think she is right. Ty screwed up last night but I think he has been the funniest in my opinion. He is very good at throwing that last bit of humor in, like when he walks away and says "sorry" then seconds later says "only being honest" I will say Josh has been good to write jokes that are updated based on the show, like the stuff about Gabriel and Stella. Finals on tonight right? I voted for Theo for the downloaded and Ty for the show one, we shall see!

I can't wait to see the previous winners tonight. I want to see if Dat Phan has some new material...and I want to see John Hefron, and Alonzo Bodden...just because they crack me up. I hope Josh wins. Say what you will about his "gig" as he calls it...the boy makes me laugh.

I'm with Tuzza and Zumat. Josh didn't make me laugh once last night, although I've found him funny previously. His act is a one note act, but like Dat Phan, he will win. I voted for Ty -- really wanted Chris in the finale. Ty made me laugh and I like his humor.

. . . .<added space so folks on the west coast don't get spoiled in the new message search function > . . . . . . . . . . . Congratulations to Josh Blue!!! Woohoo! Dat Phan was underwhelming, but John Hefron and Alonzo Bodden rocked! Looks like things have been restored with Jay Mohr and hopefully he will be back as host next year, as Anthony was flat as a pancake run over by a steamroller. YES! That is the BIG news...there will be a next year! WOOHOO! And Ty Barnett was great! I am so happy for him...and wish him all the success in the world.

I think Ty knew he wasn't going to win when he said that he was taking Alonzo's advice about standing off to the side and congratulating the winner. I have been a Josh fan since the beginning and I am very glad to see that he won.

Agreed that it was great to see Alonzo, Heffron and Jay Mohr. They all were very funny. Dat Phan continues his one note act. Boring! We saw glimpses of Dave Mordal and that just reminded me how much I enjoyed season 1. Seasons 3 and 4 have been a pale comparison.

Well, if Alonzo could come back the following season, perhaps Ty will try again. I think he has very good stuff.

I thought Alonzo was the funniest out of EVERYONE last night! I wish I could have seen the ending of that season but it was pre-empted or something here.

I thought Ty edged out Josh in the overall funny and timing department. Josh edged out Ty in the personable/audience connection department. While I think Ty should have won, I can't say I'm at all disappointed that it was Josh. It's not very often that happens for me.

I thought that Ty got better and better as time went on. I thought his best set was his last one...when it didn't count! He has a very promising future ahead of him. I thought in the beginning he just needed a little more polish...and he got it during the course of the series. Chris needed to work harder to improve his performance. It was pretty evident that Ty out worked him. Ty and Josh got consistantly better as time went on, and Chris appeared to stand still.

Mary, I agree. I guess it is tough to keep growing at the pace necessary. I liked Chris the best, but he needs to put a bit more time in. Some of the comments he made early on make me think he just didn't have the depth of material necessary and he didn't respond to the pressure quite as well to add it as time went on. He will, I think, and we will see a lot more of him. In some ways I think he cared about winning a bit too much (though not in a negative way) and it almost paralyzed him. I think Josh surprised himself sometimes...his confidence seemed to grow more and more as time went on. He is another one that had a depth problem. He has a quick sense of humor and seems like he would be a good writer. I think if he applies himself and increases his amount of material, he will be fantastic. Ty's also very good and I think he could be very versatile. I think his career will take off as a result of this experience, as he had hoped.

To Mizinvanccouver and Roteach re "Season" 3 and Alonzo: Season 3 was kind of a joke; Jay Mohr was pressured into putting on another show right away after "Season 2", because it was so popular. So they scrambled together this idea of having season 1 and season 2 compete against each other....so John Heffernon was also in Season 3 and I think came in 2nd. Problem was the show was boring, because everyone was voting for the Season 2 guys they had just seen. I don't think Season 1 Team won even one time. NBC in its wisdom decided to PULL the finale, of all things, as a response to the slipping ratings....that's why you didn't see it, Mitzi. They even toyed with us, saying they would announce it prior or during that animated show about the animals in Las Vegas (anyone remember that show???). So they shafted us all. Comedy Central, I think it was, carried the finale, which had already been taped. Only way I got to see it was by having friends tape it for me. The finale of Season 3 was actually the best show of that particular "season", and I was so angry others were denied. It was both funny and moving, as John Heffernon announced that he was gettting married. I was so mad at NBC that I boycotted for a while....and Biggest Loser didn't get a look from me. Hope that helps explain! I don't think therefore that Ty would have the same chance to come back.
