Last Comic Standing premiere date announced

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on April 11th, 2006

Well, it came at us via ComingSoon.net. We figure it came from the NBC.com media dump (and, recently, we’ve developed the reflex of ditching the giant emails from nbc.com… we should probably open them every fourth one or so…), buried at the bottom of a posting about the debut of two other NBC series:

the return of the standup comedy competition series Last Comic Standing (Tuesday, May 30). The announcement was made today by Craig Plestis, Senior Vice President, Alternative Programming.

Anthony Clark (Yes, Dear) hosts the lively laughfest, which begins with a nationwide talent search for professional and aspiring comedians. Then once the selection is narrowed down to 12, the series will follow the comedians– both male and female– as they live together and compete for the ultimate prize – an exclusive talent contract with NBC and a comedy special on Bravo. Last Comic Standing is produced by Peter Engel Productions, Magical Elves and NBC Universal Television Studio. The executive producers are Peter Engel (Saved By the Bell, City Guys), Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz (Bravo’s Project Runway and NBC’s Treasure Hunters) and Barry Katz (Action, Dane Cook’s Tourgasm).

Premiering Memorial Day Weekend? This should be interesting.
