what happens with the money? Does everyone on the team share the $50K or only those who performed that week? What about the person from the winning team who is evicted that night..do they get a share?? sorry for my ignorance but I haven't watched this season so I am now relying on you guys to keep me informed

Jan, it wasn't really explained. I got the idea that the money goes into a pot for the house that will get divided up at the end.

Thanks Mary. I wonder if that constitutes the money the last comic standing will win in the end (ie he/she can only win as much as his team has amassed??)

I thought I heard Jay say last night that the Last Comic Standing would win $250K. Anyone else hear this?

I think a half hour is sufficient for this show.

It's funny you mention a half hour ketchuplover, I always think a half hour is PLENTY for American Idol also. LOL But they manage to spread it out for an hour!

Pamy, the article was great. Thanks for finding it. It also provides a link to the official Alonzo site and it is the best. You can listen to a whole set of his stuff right HERE PS did you know he was an aircraft mechanic and then an aircraft mechanic instructor before he became a standup? what a switch in careers! Also he talks about his comedy central half hour special which is already taped and will be on soon. I thought only the winner got that?

This may have been discussed before and I just missed it but we were watching the video 'The Girl Next Door' and there's Alonzo in two quick scenes when they're in Vegas. I hadn't realized that he had's some bit parts in movies before. Anyways, I loved his bit about buying a new car. Having bought one recently - it was so right on!

Wow I hate to be negative right off the bat this morning, but I didn't think anyone was that funny last night. Especially Dave and Kathleen, but maybe I was just in a bad mood or something. I wasn't surprised by the outcome of the 4 pulled out at the beginning of the show and wasn't surprised people voted the way they did to get rid of the two who left. Especially Rob Cantrell, I've never really thought he was funny.

I missed Dave's performance last night!!! I ran outside to tell hubby Canada scored...and who knew he would want so many details! I didn't make it back in time after the commercial break! I thought Dat Phan was in good form. I liked his bit about walking through the mall with a crying little white child under his arm. Funny, but also some real truth there. My biggest crack up of the night though came from Sean. "Okay...but the good news better not be than you save a bundle on your insurance from Geico." Last week, we went with two votes for house 2 and one for Ralphie. This week we went with two votes for house 1 and John Hefron....which probably means good bye to Kathleen. John's personna of this manchild is quite appealing.

Most comic arenas have longer sets, 20 mins minimum. They all are frantic to get as many punch lines across to appeal to as many as they can in the 2 or so minutes allowed. I cut them a lot of slack. Usually you have a few minutes to warm to their personal style and pauses can be crucial to the audience appreciating the material. How nerve wracking it must be to know you have to reach thousands in 2 1/2 minutes. John and Kathleen are my favorites. I have seen Kathleen in more relaxed circumstances and she is very good. I adored Dave last season and realize that we only saw a few minutes of his stand up. His relationship with Voss in the house highlighted his inherent wit. For this I adore him. Spontaneous wit is the gateway to my heart.

What happened to the NBC message board? Is anyone able to access it?

My biggest problem with this show is my TV remote habit....I scan other shows during the commercials, get distracted, and miss the next comic. As a result, I tend to see the Season 2 comics a lot more than the Season 1. I do tend to like S2 better...though I enjoy the S1 comics that are left and expect the competition to get a bit more heated. I think John Heffron is the most consistently fresh week to week...though he often talks about some of the same things, he seems to put a new spin on it. He's also the one I would most enjoy going out to dinner with (though some of the others would make that choice a contest!) Also love Alonso ("My, that Jan is a nice person"), though he has had a few nights that seemed lackluster. Probably has had some of the sharpest writing ...moments of brilliance. Gary is just darn cute...I'll give him points just for that! Like him a lot, but he's just not in Heffron's class yet. Season 1...I enjoy Dave and Rich, but also appreciate Ralphie and Dat. Thought Sean was very funny during the last show...would you believe I didn't even remember him from Season 1 (which I watched sporadically)?

I found out today that John Heffron would be performing at a theater in my town... Tickets aren't bad, only $23... I thought about going until I saw that he was touring with Tammy Pescatelli... I never did really like her (or her set) on the show... Why oh why couldn't John be touring with Gary???

Just some speculation about last night's show. I think Dat Phan had the performance of the night, but do I think he'll be the one to stay--no--unfortunately there are too many Ralphie May (I don't think he's all that by the way) fans out there who probably voted a million times. I thought it was unfair to have Louie Anderson on one team and (for crying out loud!) Carrottop on the other. YIKES. Carrottop is in my opinion one of the most annoying "celebrities" around. And not funny on top of that. I guess Team 2 was just getting too much $$ racked up so the producers felt they had to "tip the scale" for Team 1. OK, that's the end of my vent. Have a nice day everyone and remember...it's just my opinion.

>>>.....fans out there who probably voted a million times.<<<< You can only vote three times from any one phone number and three times from each computer.

right I know in "theory" you are only supposed to vote 3 times, but that's three times per phone line, cell phone, computer...it adds up. OK, so a million is an exaggeration, but I'm sure you feel my frustration. lol

OK...I admit it. I like Carrottop better than Louie. And I would have given him a vote if I hadn't watched it a couple of hours later and then when I tried to vote, I got one vote in for Heffron and when I tried one for Carrottop it said calling was closed for my area. I hadn't decided where my 3rd vote was going (though I was going to place it for someone on team 1), but it didn't matter. My home computer is on the blink, so I couldn't vote online. Oh well! But if someone I like loses by 1 or 2 votes, they can blame NBC. Wasn't my favorite night of performances overall, though. And I don't really like them adding the better known comedians into the mix of things. Personally I would prefer more time given to the LCS comedians instead. And Jay Mohr....I can't decide if I like him or can't stand him.
