Is anyone watching this season. The judges are terriable and theres very few funny comics. I mean what are the qualifications to be a judge on this show. Andy Kindler is annoying and the biggest thing he had done is some Everybody Loves Raymond episodes. Natasha Leggero was ok as a character in Reno 911 but not even the best person on that show. Greg Giraldo is funny but not great. As a whole I dont think the judges are even good at judgeing because their trying so hard to think of something funny to say to the comic.

Yeah, I loved this show a couple of years ago when Lavelle Crawford was on. But I can barely watch it this year.

I've been watching it, but I've been disappointed with the picks for who has moved on. Felt like the funniest people were the ones eliminated. Last night I thought all of the semifinalists were pretty weak, nobody that just made me drop out of my chair laughing

That dude who was in American History X got destroyed last night, was really awkward. He sucked.

He shouldn't have made it past the initial audition. The only reason he made it is because he is quasi-famous and a recognizable face. Dude's act is terrible.

QFT!


I've been pretty disappointed with the show this season. And that's not just sour grapes because I didn't make the call backs. I'll be the first one to say that I didn't deserve to. But some of the people they let through are just plain bad. It got me so pissed when someone would bomb an audition (like the guy from American History X), but the judges would say, "that wasn't good, but I've seen you kill before so I'm going to say yes." Fuck that!

The point of no return for me was during the New York auditions. They showed Chris Rock's little brother absolutely drop a turd on stage and Natasha asked if he was related to Chris. As soon as he said yes...she replies, "I think you've got potential. I'm going to say yes!" That was when I checked out on this season.

I can't stand Andy Kindler, he thinks he's gotta try to say something funny after every single audition. I watched it for about an half-hour one night, and that was enough for me. It's a shame to, cause they could do big things with that show.

Yeah I feel like the judges are doing favors for friends they know along the circuit instead of picking the best people. Your right about Chris Rock's lil bro he has terrible and she said yes immediately after he said that.

It was Guy Torrey he played Lamont in AHX. His set wasnt very funny and then he attacked the judges (this was the semi finals round). In the same episode I forgot about the comic who got on stage wasnt very funny but was friends with the judges so they had him to impressions and then moved him on becuase of the impressions they had him to after his time was up.

Found it funny tonight that the guy who only got through because after his set the judges had him do impressions they like was one of the first three america voted off. The Other was the Kilroy? girl or something who never told a single funny joke during the tryouts but made it through because the comics had seen her work before and thought she was great in the past. The third voted off was actually ok but not great.

Now we just need the voters to get rid of the fat guy and the feinstein girl and there might be a night of funny comedy on the show. I have only kept watching this show to see how bad of a trainwreck it can be.

If Tommy Johnagin doesn't win this season...it will be an absolute travesty.

So did anyone watch the season all the way through? Worst season in my opinion...crappy judges....crappy host (no...TERRIBLE host)....and not all that great of comics.

My wife and I voted 20 times last night for Tommy Johnagin...I really hope he wins!

Johnagin is hands down the class of these hacks. It was apparent how far even Johnagin is from truly funny when Ron White schooled all them with his quick 3 min. last night. Is Dat Phan even still alive?

I will be shocked if Johnagin doesn't win. He is by far the best on there. Some of the stuf Myq does is pretty funny and the other Mike the Italian is pretty funny sometimes. I don't find Filipe funny at all.

I thought last night was the best show this season. I agree that Johnagin is the best. I enjoy the other three alot but think they all could work on their material a lil more. I thought Felipe was funny for the first time all season last night

Felipe was pretty funny but no way Johagin shouldn't have won.

I thought throughout the whole show Felipe was only funny once and that was right before the finale.

What a joke! I thought Felipe should have been gone a long time ago...how did that loser win?!?!? Dude wasn't even partially funny up until his last performance...even though his last performance was finally funny, my wife and I still thought Johnagin was light years ahead of him.

I highly doubt that the show will be on for another season as this season SUCKED!
