Last Comic Standing II - The Wild Card Show

Did you all get your votes in for Jay London on Tuesday?  I was a little disappointed in the show.  Don’t worry, I was disappointed in Jay as well.  From the get-go I didn’t like this episode.  I think Jay Mohr’s warm-up stuff really sucked and didn’t really go anywhere.  Here’s what I thought of the comedians.

Corey - I saw an attempt at new material.  I’m glad he didn’t start with the “This is the ghetto portion of the show. I’m extra ghetto” thing.  Never really liked that.  He still had the same type of jokes that are funny around the water cooler but I don’t really like on stage.

Bonnie - Bonnie is cute, I’ll give her that, but not funny at all.  Her jokes were very forced and some were a long stretch.  I don’t think I laughed at all during her proformance.

Jay - I liked some of his stuff, it was nice to see new material from my man Jay.  I loved the MasterCard thing!  That killed me.  He messed up the timing on his “I’m joining a support group, welfare”.  That joke could have really used a pause before the punchline.  Also the whole “Look at me mam”, “Please like me”, and “It gets better I swear” thing don’t really need to be in there.  I think he needs to join his jokes together a little better, I know he has a style to maintain (lol) but it would flow much better than just a string of mostly unrelated jokes.  I still like him the best.

Ant - He started his set good by keeping the gay thinig out of it, He is a funny guy but it seems like until the first part of his set that his queerness is all he could talk about.  This set was surprisingly good from Ant.

Todd - More good material here.  I liked Todd mostly for his crazy antics in the house, not for his stand up stuff.  I will admit that the whole Cookie Monster thing was pretty funny.

I have the show from tonight recorded but I wanted to post this first.  Now to go watch it!  GO JAY!
