Last Comic Standing, Season III, Episode # 304

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on September 14th, 2004

Might not have any real-time commentary for folks on the Eastern or Central Zones– might go to an open mike tonight. However, we here in the “Pajama Media” (See multiple references in the WWW media, in conjunction with multiple CBS News/Forged Document stories!) feel an obligation to our readers. So, we might videotape it and do analysis later. (Sorry, we don’t got no stinking TiVo.) It’s tonight at 8PM EDT, if you’re setting your VCR.

Meanwhile, it’s good to see that NBC is taking a mature approach to all this. Take a a peek at the image below, taken from the NBC website, and check out how they manage to degrade the people who have been bounced from the show. (Why is the Groucho glasses thing such an enduring object? And why do so many comedy clubs still use Marx? Sure he was funny, but who, under the age of 40 even knows who he was? And, if they do, they certainly don’t associate him with standup. The same goes for Charlie Chaplin.)
