These comics are just not very funny. Even Jay Mohr's material is pretty lame, and he is supposedly an established comic. I think he's a better actor than stand-up. I usually like him in films. And you know they edit everything down to just the best stuff, so it must be pretty painful to watch an entire taping. It just goes to show stand-up is a very tough thing to master. I know they have to fill up an hour, but the stupid Survivor type stuff is dumb. If the comics they chose were funnier, they could have an entire hour of routines and just vote like American Idol. But then they would have to have a helluva lot more material that was actually funny. It seems to me a stand up should have a solid half hour at least if they want to make a living at it. None of these qualify, except maybe the bald guy with the glasses. He's the only decent one on the show. As for the rest, they are real snoozers.

Well technically this isnt a reality series, its a contest where 10 contestants compete with each other for a major booking and become the best comic around.This time around we have "Ant" a funny gay comic, Corey, a black guy who is funny but has a temper. Bonnie McFarlane was pretty and funny but she got voted of the first night.The competition is pretty funny, however not its getting ugly as it is with people forming alliances to save their own hide.Nothing more degrading when people start backstabbing others to move a step higher up to a food chain, but apparently thats all these reality series are good for.
Still check it out.

Hmm...here's an idea. Perhaps, the producers at NBC realized that Rich, Dave, and others might be funny enough on their own to make it...and didn't need to actually "win"...thus explaining why Dat did...he's a good kid who worked hard and achieved the American Dream...now THAT's good TV. IMHO.

I've been watching this show for a few weeks now and I'm surprised at how much it manages to keep my interest. Basically semi-famous comics from all over the US compete(d) for a chance to live in a house where one by one they're voted off by one another (standard gist of a reality show). There's all the usual backstabbing and teaming up and wolves-in-sheep-clothing type characters involved, however the genuinely funny contestants really give you a reason to watch. Worth watching at least for the comedy.
