Last Comic Standing

Part 2

Published on August 1, 2004 By Lenbert In Entertainment

Another case for Jay London.

You either love him or hate him. If you hate him, you probably surf right by an Abbott & Costello movie on cable.

As mentioned in a previous article, I am completely enamoured with the "old style" comics. Silvers, Hope, Berle, Lewis and Martin, Abbott and Costerllo, Laurel and Hardy, Mason, Dangerfield et al! If you are unfamiliar with the "old style" comics, I will reitterate that you simply won't "get" London. Rent "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World" watch it, and you will have some, very sparse inkling into the London mentality.

Personally, I think the guy is amazing!

As I mentioned before, the "old style" comics aren't dead. They're just lying in wait.

Jay, take care, Buddy. I wish you all the best.

I never got to see Last Comic Standing too much.. but when I did I LOVED Jay. He was by far my fave.

Apparently in this season, the producers have thrown in yet another "twist". The comedians who were voted out of "the house", now have the opportunity to be voted on a second time, to be a "wild card" selection for the final vote. So basically, this year, instead of whittling the contestants down to 5 for the final vote, they are in the process of determining a "wild card" contestant from those already voted out of "the house". They currently have their 5 main contenders for the final vote, but they are now trying to determine their wild-card contender.

Jay was initially voted out of "the house". However, after watching a rerun of last week's episode, Jay London is now, officially, the wild-card contender. He will be the sixth contender for the final vote. This Tuesday's episode will be quite interesting.

Did you see the first season of the show?

I haven't really watched this season to have an opinion. Although I though the wild card aspect was new. So far, there doesn't seem to be an overrated comic who is not really funny like Tess or Ralphie May like last year.
