last comic standing - opiated - 08-31-2004
i don't watch reality shows usually, but this one i got hooked on, as i like to laugh..well...season 3 debuted last night, and it wasn't all that funny...it seemed like there was this bad aura surrounding it, and then ralphie may (the runner-up from season 1) came on to do his routine, and was balling...he states that his dad had died the night before, but the show must go on...it was really strange,sad, and uncomfortable...just wondering if anybody else watches the show, and if so...what you thought of last night..i applaud ralphie for going on, but it seemed to be a little odd on a comedy show..i'm surprised they let him go..would you really wanna be the comic to follow that?(please don't think i'm insensitive..i had tears in my eyes!!)

the only funny ones were todd glass, alonzo, and some guy from season one who's name escapes me...each comic only had 2 minutes, and the crowed seemed out of it, and jay mohr was rattled or something..very weird vibe

is john heffron(spelling?) on the new one too??

My wife loves the show - so I watch by default.
I love to laugh - so it is not too hard to watch.
Ralphie last night - if the show must go on - I thought what he did was a great way to give a tribute to his father.
It is for a lot of money and his future will be furthered by this show, so I thought it was smart to go on - even at this trying time.

everybody from both seasons are on,except for bonnie mcfarlane from season 2..don't know why she didn't want to go on, but she didn't..so they got some really annoying comic who didn't make the cut to replace her..(i hope she's the first off)...i guess people are voting on which season gets money every night, and one comic from each season is voted off...i think they could have done it a lot better..it seems rushed...
but i will agree, yes i think what ralphie did was amazing..now my question is...did the comics who chose him to perform, know beforehand that his dad had just died..if they did, i think it's terrible they asked him to do a routine....

I didn't see Ralphie's routine and I don't want to come off as an insesitive prick but why did Ralphie make it so far on the first LCS anyway? To me he was one of the least funny comics! Anyway, it is a shame that his father passed and I feel sorry for him in that respect.
Todd Heffron or whatever his name is shouldn't have won the second LCS either! Nice little routine on video game play there funny guy! I think the guy that looks like Mel Gibson is funny (Todd Glass I think), Alonzo is pretty funny too.

The big tall black guy from the second season is my favorite.
Is that Alonzo?

agreed about ralphie, but john heffron did deserve to win, he had a great set everytime he went out there, and never repeated a joke(to my recollection)

yes, yes he is

Well, I do give credit to Heffron for not repeating a joke. I've heard the same jokes from some of the comics almost every time they did their routine. I was amazed at the hatred for the big tall guy (Todd Glass maybe?)from LCS2 also. Man, it seems people just hated him from the get go! The worst for the same jokes was the Asian guy in the first LCS. I thought I was watching reruns of the show he repeated his jokes so much!
