In reading this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly, I noticed something on page 65 I wanted to bring to your attention. Perhaps it’s a mistake.

It lists the Thursday, July 10 episode of Last Comic Standing as the two-hour “Season Finale.”

Is it possibly the suits at NBC have decided to pull the plug early?

Whoa! This is most intriguing. We are in Cleveland… and we’re here until early Monday. But we’re going to try to find a copy. If anyone out there has this issue, or can find it online, let us know.

Is this more chicanery from the producers of LCS? Are they trying to create fake controversy? Why would the publishers of EW go along with the gag? It would only erode their credibility. And their credibility is tenuous as it is.

Is this like last season’s “mistake” when they “accidentally” announced Amy Schumer‘s “win” in a press release for her performance at Mohegan Sun on September 3 of last year, way before the ostensible end of last season’s contest?
