I don't think Jay Mohr is funny at all. And last week I laughed a lot more at Ant than I did Todd Glass (which isn't saying a lot because I didn't laugh at all at Todd). Comedy is so much in the eye of the beholder, I guess that's why they have so many types of comics.

Alonzo was the best tonight. I was very disappointed with the results from last week's vote. Not sorry to see Ralphie go though.

I liked tonight's show a lot and was VERY pleased with the results! The two best comics moved on. I have high hopes that the two best next week will as well: Alonzo and Vos. I sure hope the final 4 comics get more than 5 minute sets. I want to see a long set for once!

I was glad to see Ralphie and Dat go. Heffron is good, so I wasn't to disappointed in him moving on. I loved Alonzo tonight. They were soooo mean, lol ...

Yeah!! So glad to see Dave Mordal move on to the finals. Did not like the whole roast thing, did not bring out the best in any of them.

I didn't like the roast so much...I like that kind of humor generally, but don't think it is the strong suit of these comedians. Nothing that made me think "moment of brilliance." It didn't seem like they had spent much time on it at all. And I was actually disappointed in Alonzo....I think I expect a lot out of him because he is such a great writer, but I haven't been as blown away with his material this season. He is a talented man, though, and I won't be a bit upset with him in the finals. My favorites for the night were Vos and Gary...they made me laugh the most and at least had a few things that didn't make me feel like I was watching a re-run. And I was happy with the first two finalists. John Heffron is my favorite. I really like Jay London's comedy, but wish he would change up his delivery a bit. I was surprised that Dave made it to the finals, but it also made me happy. He has paid his dues and deserves some rewards! My vote out of this week's group is either Gary or Alonzo from s2, and then Rich Vos from s1. And I am with you Brenda...let them do long sets so we can really see them in action! We don't need all that filler.

http://www.accesshollywood.com/television/3776814/detail.html "Ralphie May says NBC's jokefest "Last Comic Standing" is a joke itself." Read the story at the above link. Apparently Ralphie has gone sour on Last Comic Standing, even though it has helped his career. Also, it looks like the only comedian he is "endorsing" is Alonzo. Ralphie said "the only one on there that's doing real comedy is Alonzo Bodden."

Sorry Ralphie....comedy is simply making people laugh. Because you are a comedian whose comedy pushes the boundaries, doesn't mean that the definition changes for the world. I think you are quite talented, but also think that sometimes your pushing boundaries is not funny, but offensive. Maybe you are the one that has jumped the shark....you were funnier season 1. I enjoy both the boundary pushing stuff and the "Remember when you were a kid" stuff....and gauge the quality of the comedian on their writing and delivery....and who simply makes me laugh the most.

I only saw two of the comedians tonight - one being Alonzo. I loved his stuff on Paris Hilton! Finally - a realistic perspective on the girl!

Yesitsme, I agree. Comedy and art are subjective. Ralphie cannot be a judge of real comedy for anyone other than himself. Dave Mordal was the best last night. I am a fan of his and was pleased to see him shine. Alonzo was not great. Paris Hilton? Anything you can say about her is trite. Bush is an easy target and no brainer material. Voss was nervous and crossed some creepy lines. I like edgy humor but his Santa bit and threatening to burn a child with a cigarette is just not funny. Heffron who I like was very nervous last night and his material was not great. Who can relate to not getting a bath mat wet? No one. We all get them wet. That is what they are for. His I am old stuff doesn't fit because he is young. It isn't even funny when someone in their 50's does that bit. I hope Dave wins this. Alonzo will be hard to beat because his fans will overlook his less than great material last night.

I'm so ready for this show to be over. Don't like ANY of the final 4 but Alonzo. I'm kind of wondering why the producers decided to do this particular show. When I began to wonder about this the only reason I could come up with was because they secretly felt Ralphie, Vos and Dave Mordal should have gone further in LCS1. I dunno. IMO, if they want to control who wins, then don't let the audience participate in the vote.

Fruitbat, I agree completely with what you said. Dave was the best, I was laughing out loud throughout. Alonzo did have a couple of funny moments. Rich and John did nothing for me last night. IMO Dave really deserves this but I think that with season's 2 comics still being fresh in everyone's minds, it will probably go to Alonzo or John.

I missed most of it! I was in a meeting that ran long and by time I got home I only saw all of Alonzo's performance. He didn't make me laugh out loud much (I still think his best performances were early in season 2), but I like him and his style. His delivery is very good. Even though I didn't see the whole show I voted. Now I feel sorta bad because I voted twice for Heffron and once for Alonzo. I voted based on who has made me laugh most in the past. (Some validity, but not even I believe I should have voted without seeing all of this show. Since voting closes in 2 hours I couldn't wait until after the repeat on Comedy Central, so I went ahead and did it!) I will say that Heffron was easy to get through for (2 out of 3 calls), but Alonzo took a while (1 out of about 8.)

Breaking news: NBC cancels Last Comic Standing with one show to go. Replacing final episode with Father of the Pride marathon. From http://www.jaymohr.com: FROM JAY... Last Comic Standing is cancelled!!! This is shocking news to me too. I woke up on Wednesday morning and recieved the news. NBC was not happy with the rating of the show and decided to pull the plug. Keep in mind there is only one episode left and on that episode we were going to ANNOUNCE THE WINNER! Amazing. Why would a network cancel a show with only one episode left? There is some back history that makes this more ridiculous. As Last Comic Standing 2 was wrapping up this summer, the network told us that they wanted a "hybrid version" of Last Comic to put on the fall schedule. They said that they simply didn't have enough shows for the fall slate and needed a quick fix. My partner Peter Engel as well as other producers like Barry Katz, Cori Fry, K.P. Anderson and my self thought that this was a bad idea. We argued that having a seperate version of Last Comic so soon after season 2 concluded would burn the audience out and damage the franchise. Well the network insisted we move forward and we came up with "LCS Battle of thge Best". Season 1 versus season 2 for a prize of 250 thosand bucks. (It seems like Fox hands out a million dollar prizes on its reality shows like its lunch). Last Comic Standing The Battle Of The Best hit the airwaves in the fall and guess what? The ratings were down. The ratings stayed pretty consistent all season with around eight million viewers but that didn't stop NBC from hitting the panic button. The biggest question I have is why would you wait until the final episode to pull the plug. I feel terrible for the comics. We had a great final four with Alonzo Bodden, Rich Vos, Dave Mordal (my favorite) and John Heffron. These four comics are not involved with network bussines or standards and practices but it is they who will suffer the most from this terrible decision by The Nation Broadcasting Company. I have to stop typing now because I have to go TiVo Father Of The Pride. Jay I say BOYCOTT Father of the Pride! (Oh wait, I already do that because the show is lousy. ) Stupid NBC. I haven't been this ticked since ABC yanked The Mole 2 after 3 episodes.

The NBC website says to watch the Father of the Pride marathon to find out who wins Last Comic Standing. What the heck?! ARe they so desparate to try and save the lame Father of the Pride that they need to do this? Guess I'll have to read on the boards or the NBC website who wins 'cause I can't possibly sit through Father of the Pride without being handcuffed and tied to a chair.

IMHO, Dave was the best last night. I love John's humor (and it's clean). I appreciate Alonzo's point of view humor (mostly clean). And I think Voss is best at sarcasm (and when he doesn't try to stay clean). But last night Dave had the only set that had me laughing out loud almost every delivery. 'squeek' PS I watched *1* episode of FOTP, and that will be the only episode. Guess I'll have to turn to you guys to post the winner.

I can't even believe this. Can you even imagine how much $ those exectuives make while making such a stupid decision as this? I guess I'll have to set up the VCR so I can fast forward through FOTP to see who wins. How disappointing for all involved.
