Well this was not my short list. The woman from Wisconsin was nugged out by Roz and April? Makes no sense. Here is where the rigging, most of us are in favor of, gets annoying.

The judges are probably very familiar with all who they place in the house and heavy consideration is given to strong personalities who are going to create good entertainment. Got that.

Josh was chosen because he has a good act and was the audience favorite. But will a full hour of CP humor work to sustain a career in comedy for him? His material is going to be limited.

The comedians, once in the house, are not going to challenge Josh fearing a land slide vote again. This will effect the dynamic and possibly carry Josh to the final round.

Another site has a list of all who made it to the house. 6 men/6 women. Dispense with the even numbers and just go for the best acts, I say.

I am going to watch again and jot down the names of some I liked and watch for them on the comedy club circuit.

I think Kera (the dark haired girl who does Girls Behaving Badly on the Oxygen channel) should have been in the top 5 instead of the red headed girl. I didn't like the loud taller guy that was picked 3rd either. I like the willy wonka guy, Josh & Roz though.

Guess I am not alone in not getting the redhead and preferring the Wisconsin woman. And I really liked the bald guy (the one who I kept thinking I had seen somewhere and then realized it was Star Search after reading Fruit's post). I don't like the yelling guy much, though. I prefer more subtle deliveries. If you have to hold the mic three feet from your face, use need to be using your INSIDE voice!

I liked Tig with her dead pan delivery and dry wit (No Moleste sign). She and Jackie (Wisconsin dad) were the two stand outs to me.

As for the men I liked the bald guy. Joey Gay has good material but his delivery is nerve wracking.

i was a stand up comic in the 90's and also produced and booked my own show. i am a co-founder of a sketch/improv group that has headlined at the comedy store and ice house, etc.

i booked will ferrel for his first paid gig (didn't know that until he told leno one nite) and i've worked with alonzo bodden and frances dilorinzo (the mom comic mention above, who, btw, also had an A&E special)

buggles, google frances and you can find out when she will be appearing near you. she is truly one of the best "unknown" comics i know and definitely worth paying to see. don't feel bad for her, she will continue to get work.

i frequently am a judge at comedy contests in socal and i actually saw kaitlin columbo (the 19yr old with the gay dad) perform at a few.

enough about me. these comics are the equivalent of minor league baseball players. yes, they are pros, but no, they haven't reached the bigs yet. this is a big break for every one of them because
"as seen on LCS" adds dollars to their wallets and most need it.

OK, my DVD recorder froze up and I missed the last few minutes. Sounds like Theo didn't make it through?! Sounds like Roz and one other woman made it through and then 3 men? I saw the first guy make it through but that was it.

Lafatme, do you know Jacky Kashian and Tig? I was most impressed with their 3 minute segments. Impossible to know if they can maintain that level for an hour but I would like the chance to see more of them.

Of the comics picked thus far, what can you tell us?

Lafatme, I also have done stand up comedy. I have done off broadway and I also founded, directed and acted in an improv troupe that did shows in NYC for about a year in 1989. We were called The Dead Comics Society
I also was in an improvisational take off on Dynasty in New Haven Connecticut, it was called "Die Nasty" and I played the Joan Collins type, my character's name was Cherry Pitt.
I love comedy and improv especially

Lafatme, do you know a comedian named Peter Vouras, who is from the east coast but was living in LA for a couple of years?

Here's a favorite joke of mine.

"Ask me what the secret to good comedy is"
"What's the...
"Timing"

The classics never get old :-)

I finally watched last night's shows. I probably would have picked a slightly different 5 (OK, I am indecisive and can't decide which ones, so maybe not), but I did think all they picked were funny. I agree that the CP humor will get old after a while, but you can't help but like the guy. Didn't think he was the best, though.

I felt so bad for the ones that didn't make it. Some were very talented....I am sure the exposure will be great for them, though.

Honestly, I'm not real thrilled with the 5 picked to go into the house so far. I'm hoping they will grow on me and I'm sure some of them will. Don't we get to pick one person to go into the house? I guess I need to check out the website and vote.

Josh Bluehas a pretty good website.

I like his humor and his view on life. Life handed him some lemons and he's turned it into lemonade.

Lafatme - cool, thank you..

Do you know her full name - not sure googling 'frances' will turn up the right person :-)

I was pretty surprised that she wasn't chosen. I really do think those judges want every comedienne to make references to breasts. I noticed that the red headed chick make some comment about her mom's breasts and Kathy was like "PERFECT" and the guys were all like, 'Great! wonderful, yeah..." LOL

Josh Blue reminds me a bit of Elliot from American Idol - looking at that vid, they could be brothers, imho.

Where is everyone tonight?

LMAO at Nikki Payne tonight -- you know you're Canadian when all it takes is duct tape and a dream, and you feel you can do anything. :-)

I cannot BELIEVE Josh Blue is making it week after week! There are so many WAAAAY funnier people than him. Lame.

He didn't actually make it any further tonight than last week, Eeyore. Last week they showcased 20 people and let five into the house -- Josh was one of them. Tonight was a different group of 20 and another 5. Well, seven, tonight.

But I do agree that there were a lot of people let into the house that we're way less funny than some of the people not allowed to move on. Bill Dwyer? Seriously?

I like all the choices except the pregnant lady. I didn't find any of her lines funny. I am surprised at that choice. I didn't think the audience laughed that much either. Hope she's the first to go.

On the other hand, I am really surprised they didn't choose the girl with the lisp. I also thought she would win the audience choice by the way the audience reacted to her.

It is definately odd that Stella was chosen over Tig (no moleste) and Jacky (dad in Wisconsin). I would like to hear the logic of those in power. I don't see Stella as someone interesting to watch in the house but they must.

No one with a dry wit or mellow delivery made it in.

Yes, I saw Jenna in the audience. So far I'm still not impressed with who they sent into the house. There were serveral people I liked better who didn't make it. Those who did will have to impress me rather quickly to keep me interested in this season.

I also find the host to be very bland. I miss Jay Mohr.
