Thx, Uncle Ricky. I knew it was a D. D. name, but the only name that came to me was that Diana DiMarco or whoever from Idol, lol. She's da bomb. I was upset last year when Nikki Payne didn't make it, but Debra is definitely my pick this year.

It was okay. My complaint about this portion of the series is that they show such a short clip of each person's routine, that it is really hard to judge how funny (or un-funny) they are. I don't know the names at all, so I can only describe which 5 got through last night. They are: Really fat guy from St Louis ("Why am I breathing so hard? So I can LIVE!!"). Little British guy who looks like a teenager, with big eyes. Canadian guy, who I can't really remember anything about. Younger woman from east coast (did a very funny joke about the lights out in the bedroom...) S. Carolina "redneck" guy. Sorry for the non-information. I need to see more of them to remember more!!!

lol Spoton you did as well as I could and I watched it just a few minutes ago. I agree the bits are so short that they show that there is no way to judge it. Hopefully now that the group is smaller we can see a real competition.

The "redneck" guy from Hickory NC starred in numerous commercials for Dodge. He was the redneck guy who kept asking "You got a Hemi in that?"

anyone watch tonight? Lavell won the Heckler challenge so he has immunity this week. They picked who they thought they were funnier than - Dante had 3 votes, Ralph had two votes, and Gina went up since she cast one of the votes for Dante. Ralph won w/62% of the audience vote. I wasn't overly impressed w/any of the bits tonight, but Ralph was better than the other two. The heckler challenge was far funnier than the head-to-head.

Lateeda, I agree about the heckler challenge being funnier. I also thought that Ralph deserved to win it. He was much funnier. Dante's bit wasn't funny at all.

I think Dante was too confident in his material b/c the "big" joke/surprise about bill bellamy wasn't all that funny and he seemed pretty sure of himself throwing the mic like he did...rubbed me wrong Ralph was great! For a second I wasn't into it then when he took the joke even further I couldn't contain myself! hehehe

Before they announced, I guessed that Ralph would take 60 something percent of the vote (I was thinking 66% - close!) Anyone else notice that it was the 3 black contestants that voted Dante as the least funny? Coincidence I wonder or strategy

I didn't notice who all voted for Dante, I was trying to remember how they got the top 3, couldn't remember if it was the top 3 vote-getters or if the top vote-getter picked who to go up against. I thought Amy did the best in the heckler challenge - both in her 'heckles' and in her come-backs when she was being heckled.

I'm curious to see if Ralph and Lavell vote for the same person again. They are two of the funniest there so they probably could take down the house. Although if two people are always eliminated at the challenge, then one of them might have to go, and that would be not good.

Question please: The guy that won the first "I know I am funnier than?" Ralph? Hasn't he had a sit com? He had a family, moderate to well to do and they had white neighbors. It was called "The Hensons" or something like that. It only lasted a season or two. Anybody help me out here?

Check out his credits at IMDB, Boberg. He's credited in Dreamgirls, Evan Almighty, and a few sitcom episodes... maybe you'll find what you're looking for there?

Challenge for immunity is set at a Medevil Times. They are dressed in court jester outfits and have to do a renaissance themed skit. Final two is John and Amy - John just won. I thought the Matt, the Brit guy, did a good job, but he lost to Debra, who in turn lost to Amy. Now getting ready for their "I Know I'm Funnier than ______" votes.

John votes first since he's immune. He voted for Debra. Ralph - Amy Amy - Gerry Matt - Debra Gerry - Lavell Debra - Matt Lavell - Doug Doug - Ralph The 2 going head to head are Debra & Matt since John has immunity.

They both got quite a few laughs. Very different styles but both funny. I thought the audience might have related to Debra's set better, Matt's was a 'smart' comedy, the thinking man's type of humor is how I'd describe it. Long commercial break, Natch. Have to wait and see who won!

With 55% of the vote, the winner is Matt! Wow, that was close!

Boberg, I think you might be thinking of DL Hughley. He had a show called The Hughleys and I've been thinking that he and Ralph look like brothers.

For me, Bill Bellamy was the funniest one last night. Loved his mall story!

Aww, last night with Matt and Deb was a total lose-lose situation. I LOVE Debra... if you've ever seen her on Video on Trial, she's a riot. So sad to see her go last night, but I know that's not the end of her. And sad as I am to see her go, I am happy to see Matt continue. He's so cute. KL, I really like Amy too. She has an easy kind of charisma about her, like you want to pull her off stage when she finishes her set and keep talking to her over a beer.
