Last Comic Standing gets a Brit co-host

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on February 6th, 2008

Fearne Cotton is her name and the British tabs caller her a “telly babe.”

She was on The X Factor, a talent show across the pond, and the Sun says that she jetted out to Los Angeles this week to “start filming the auditions.”

She has already scored her first gig in the US, for NBC– one of the top four channels.

She will co-host Last Comic Standing– a talent trawl for some of America\s funniest comedians.

Our new favorite phrase– “talent trawl!”

And, in other Last Comic Standing news, this clip, from Acccess Hollywood, shows a brief interview with LCS host Bill Bellamy. Stick with it to the 3:30 (time remaining) mark and, when asked if there is anything new this year, he says, “…last year I made about ten cities, this year, I make about 92!”
