Another shift at the rumor mill– L.C.S. IV

Here’s what we’re hearing (from an anonymous email):

1) Just because one made it past the Tempe round does not guarantee that one will advance. They find out in two weeks who gets cut and who doesn’t. They just know that they advanced past Tempe and have a chance of making the finals.

2) There are no semifinals, just finals. So they’ll pick like 60, then sit in a room and whittle it down to 20-30. So those who got picked in Tempe might not step onstage again.

3) Here’s who got picked in Tempe:

Ty Barnett
Mark Saldana
Josh McDermitt
Lahna Turner
April Macie
J. Chris Newberg
Chris Porter
Bruce Fine
Eddie Ifft

4) There was no “Simon-like” producer I saw. Just Bob and Ross (and Ross can be mean in his own right– but not Simon mean). The producers were all nice.

5) One person who stood in line got picked for the night show. Everyone else had “appointments.”

Once again: Rumor Disclaimer. We’re not sure if any of this is 100 per cent true… but it all sound plausible. We’ll keep you posted.

Hey: We note that Ralphie May’s girlfriend (wife?) and Gary Gulman’s girlfriend were picked. Hmmm… Where’s Ant‘s girlfriend? (Hey– he’s one of our Myspace Friends… we’re allowed to bust his balls. I think.) We also note that the comedy business has reached critical mass, comedy couple-wise– It’s time now for Comedy Couple Challenge (“A very special L.C.S.”), hosted by the premiere comedy couple, Rich Voss and Bonnie McFarlane. We’re available.

And, here is who we hear made it in from L.A.:
