Last Comic Standing III/A Correction

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on August 25th, 2004

From NBC’s website (via Sharilyn Johnson):

During a special 90-minute premiere episode, comics from season 1 and 2 will return for a battle of the best. Following performances from some of the comics, viewers will place their first votes for which comic should be eliminated as the comics begin their quest for over $500,000.

Since nearly all the comics from seasons 1 and 2 are on lengthy personal appearance tours, we’re at a loss to figure out how that wily Jay Mohr will structure this season’s contest.

In another unrelated note: In an item speculating as to who might replace Craig Kilborn as host of Late Late Show, we referred to NBC twice, when we knew darn well it was CBS that airs the show. We have a perfectly good excuse if you’d like to hear it: For as long as we could remember, the big three channels in the Philadelphia market were 3, 6 and 10, which were NBC, ABC and CBS, respectively. Then, about 10 years ago, when CBS and Westinghouse merged, and since Westinghouse owned 3, the FCC made the new entity divest itself of 3… or was it 10? To make matters more confusing, they merely swapped facilities! So now all the people who usta work at 3 were now on 10 and vice versa. Our brains are permanently scrambled. Example: When Letterman was on NBC, he could be found on channel 3. Then he switched to CBS. Then, a couple years later, he was on 3, but he’s on CBS. It’s been eight years, but confusion still reigns! Can’t they all just switch back?!
