Last (Three) Comics Standing!

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on August 6th, 2004


Our readers are brilliant. They correctly chose the final three. How do they do it? Here’s the deal on the “Finale”: We’re fairly certain that NBC is giving us credentials… and we’re fairly certain that there’ll be some kind of hoopla in Los Angeles on Tuesday– a show, etc. (They’re claiming to have two solid hours of L.C.S. on Tuesday’s schedule)– And we’ll be there for it. But we can’t make it to the Thursday night wingding. But we’ll be watching, you can bet on that.

We’ve re-jiggered the poll to reflect last night’s halving of the contestants. Please take a moment to vote on the final result over there ——> Thanks!

Speaking of last night, we missed most of it because we were working, gigging, hiliariating, here in Laughlin. Traci caught the tail end of it, though.

Is Jay London going to get his ass reamed (pardon our French) for not mentioning the specific name of the club he’s playing next week? (When quizzed as to where he might be appearing live in the near future, he replied, “Albuquerque.” When pressed further for details, he would only say “Albuquerque… the streets of Albuquerquue.” (Going along with host Mohr’s joke.) Ouch! A club owner’s nightmare!!

And how’s that for a name– Longsworth Bodden! The camera beamed a tight shot of Alonzo Bodden‘s father after Alonzo’s set.

We’re here through Sunday, then it’s back to Vegas. Over at the Palms in Vegas, the casino owned by the Malouf Bros., the Hollywood Comedy Tour stops in tomorrow (Saturday). Hosted by Court McCown and Paul Hughes, the “Comedy on the Cutting Edge” will be served up by Rich Vos, Bonnie McFarlane and Danny Bonaduce. (Should his name be in bold? Is he really a comic?) Over at the Palace Station Steve White and Jann Karam are on the bill and downtown at the Union Plaza (site of 2001’s SHECKYmagazine.Comics Only Reunion!), they list a comedy club, but they don’t list the names… hmmmm… curious.
