'Last Comic Standing': Who Will Make The Final Eight
Last night, Last Comic Standing revealed season six's 32 finalists -- if you're blanking on who's who, you can check them out here -- and if you're watching the show, you no doubt have favorites that you're hoping to see move forward. I'm told 12 will ultimately make it into the LCS house over the next few weeks, then four more will be eliminated leaving eight finalists for the world to vote for. Reliable sources tell me those eight finalists are made up of seven dudes and one lady. If you want to know their names now, keep reading...

When is when? When is enough enough?
How many talent/competition/reality shows do we really need in our TV world? And why is anyone watching them? And why is anyone recapping or reporting about them?
How many dance competitions?
Cooking competitions?
Design (clothing, architecture, etc.) competitions?
Singing and talent competitions?
Physical, social and mental agility, skill and intelligence competitions?
These 'competitions' used to be regulated to half-hour game shows (Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, still around) airing in the middays, afternoons or early evenings and on deep cable, but now it's morphed into 2-hour long episodes in prime time hours on all the major networks.
I know the genre is cheap to produce and occasionally draws tens of millions of viewers, however, is that what we REALLY want for the majority of our prime time entertainment?
I wish someone had the balls to address this and the terrible impact it's having on the television medium.
Ugh. What's happened to TV. So sad.
IDC, i get what you're saying, but have hold up. while some of the TV competition shows are dumb and not worth our precious time, so many of them provide an outlet for incredible talent to shine. all the amazing designers on project runway, the phenomenal dancers on SYTYCD, the genius comics on LCS. if the competition introduces me to people who are stars in their own right, but need these tv shows for their talent to be seen, i've got no problem with it. and actually think it's a beautiful thing.
I agree IDC. But it's summer. We need to tough it out for a few more months.
I like Last Comic Standing, but it's better when they get to the finalist stages. These early ones have been annoying. I'm sorry to see the Muslim girl not making it!!
I think Jeff Dye was pretty funny. Iliza as the last female comic seriously? I would rather have Andy Smith(she auditioned last year too I think) or Shirza(the muslim girl)
I'm not liking this season at all nothing could top the first season but this is by far the worst.
Korbi,
I agree with most of what you said in response to IDC, but "genius comics" of LCS? I don't think so. Mediocre at best. Besides if the were real geniuses,why haven't we seen any of the past winners on their own tv show?
IDC, how many channels does your TV get, and how many of them are showing these competitions at any given time? I'm sure it's a small percentage.
LCS is the only one I know of that shows comedians.
okay, okay, scott, ha, i wondered if someone was gonna call me out on that :) i paused before writing the word "genius," yes, but in the end, i went with it, because though they might not be genius comics, many of them have at least MOMENTS of genius, and that's better than i could ever do, so... uh, yeah. thanks for your comment ;)kg
Dan Naturman got screwed again?
If the muslim girl doesn't make it I'll stop watching...
