I think part of Josh's pausing is due to his CP. Sometimes people with CP have breath control issues.

Josh and Chris Porter are my faves. Josh especially cracks me up and everytime I see Chris all I think of was his audition when he said "What? Nobody wants to have sex with Willy Wonka?" about himself. I really like both of them.

Twinkie, Josh and Chris are my two favorites also. With them, it doesn't seem to be as much about telling jokes as it is delivering a story that is very funny.

I liked Ty the best on the last show. Chris was off. I hope he gets back on track because he's been my favorite from the start. Josh is really good too.

Chris and Josh were my faves before the last two weeks. Now I gotta say it is Josh and Ty. While Chris was better this time than the first week, he hasn't lived up to my expectations based on what I had seen of him before. Hope he steps it up before it's too late. I liked Michelle's sets in the competition phase of the show, and somewhat that first week, but I'm afraid her set on the last show will be her ticket home. Then things should REALLY get interesting. Will Chris come back to form and blow the others away? Will Ty continue to do as well as he is? Will Josh be able to keep things up as well (I liked him better the first week than the second)? Guess we'll find out tonight!

Again, Josh had me laughing out loud. Ty had a giggle...Chris not. I'm so disappointed in Chris. He really needs to rethink the whole drug angle if he wants to be mainstream.

Yeah, I'm not seeing a Chris/Josh finale like I envisioned earlier this season. Ah well. Go Josh!

Put me as one for the "still for Chris" camp. Maybe its a different generation, maybe just a different aspect of what's funny... I dunno, I thought his set was great. (As someone who has, stupidly, answered the phone whilst on mushrooms... <haha>) I thought his drug humour was more appropriate than Ty's straight-up "want some meth?" comment / joke. Maybe it's hypocritical to say that jokes about pot and 'shrooms are Ok but meth and coke jokes are wrong and dirty... but that's the line I've decided to draw in the sand. And I don't find anything wrong with jokes about recreational drugs any more than I take issue with jokes about fathers skipping out on child support. Ty was pretty good tonight, Josh was just OK. I had really been hoping to see a Chris / Josh F2 as well, but I think that it's going to be Chris / Ty.

Chris seemed like he was on mushrooms last night. It seemed to me that he was just not into the bit he chose. I am pulling for Josh but I have to admit that Ty was pretty funny. Should be a great show next week.

I really have to give props to all of them since every week they have to come up with new material. But I'd really like to see more of their audition stuff that blew me away. I'm so worried that Chris's performance last night will see him going home tonight. I really hope not but he just wasn't that good. Josh, I thought was great and I hope he wins. Ty was okay, maybe a little better than Chris. I've always wanted a Chris/Josh final 2 but I'm afraid that might not happen now. Bummer.

I just don't find any of these comics very good. Josh is adorable and will win. Ellen, Eddie Izzard, Lily Tomlin, Whoopie Goldberg, Stephan Wright, Louis Black......... I do not see a star in the making here. Ellen was excellent when she did the comedy circuit decades ago, as a beginner. Humor is like art and music, very personal.

agreed fruitbat in this contest you have to stay main stream. one of the reasons jay london didn't make it far but he is funny as well. eddie "the transvestite"izzard his stand up is out of this world to me. but my son doesnt get it.

I just had a chat with my daughter and she said that Chris Porter opened for Tammy Pescatelli last year. She assured me that he was really funny...and hopes that he hasn't been ousted.

I usually find Caroline really silly, but last night I thought she was quite funny.

Caroline was funny. That missing link dude...I don't get his humor. It's all about puns and anybody can come up with that stuff. Josh is by far having the most fun and appreciating making it as far as he has. Chris is just too far out there. I really had high hopes for him...but he's not really connecting with the crowd. Ty is pretty goood, but I'm not sure last night was his best. Chris goes home next week. And btw...Chris mentioned something about a standing ovation during his act...does he not realize that the audience is coached and most of their laughs are not genuine. Unless its for Josh...heheh.

someone here said the jokes were getting better and asked if they have been getting help.. I don't think so, I just think they are told to save their best stuff for future shows since the stakes go up... I actually think Josh might have used his best stuff cuz i was a little disappointed tonite by him, although he is still my fave by far. Chris creeps me out for some reason and he is very inconsistent. I didn't want to see Michelle go, but she wasn't her best last week, and Ty has been improving.. Maybe people didn't find Michelle as funny when she went from the "old" smoking lady to a much more attractive, younger looking woman after her makeover...Like Jay London.. if they made him over people wouldn't probably like him as much either.. did anyone here comment about Gary Gulman last week? I didn't see any posts about it.. Hubby and I LOVED him and were thinking of getting HBO just to watch his new reality show tour, but i was shocked at how unfunny he was last week. and he seemed kinda vain.. and he was barely recognizable.. like maybe Dr. Will got a hold of his face... Does everyone think Josh is a shoo in to win? I think they should start making a sequel to the Benchwarmers right now with him in it.. I haven't even seen it, but its about a bunch of 'older' guys who were always picked on at in school, playing a soccer or football game against some bully kids. I think a remake with Josh would be really hilarious. David Spade, Jon Lovits, the Napoleon Dynamite guy and Josh Blue, playing soccer against some bratty kids..nothing to not like there!
