Last Comic Standing– Surprise twist?!

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on May 19th, 2006

SPOILER ALERT: If you don’t want to know how Last Comic Standing ends, you might not want to read the second half of this post!

From the breathless NBC press release, pumping the upcoming May 30th premiere of their standup-based surreality program:

A surprise twist during the final round shakes up the competition, ultimately affecting which comics are chosen to move into the “house.”

We refer you all to our April 30 posting in which we said that Stella Stolper, Joey Jay, Bil Dwyer, April Macie and Gabriel Iglesias were already kicked off the show.

The producers of the show can’t keep a lid on the “surprises” because of the immediacy of the internet and because of their inability to figure out how information eventually makes its way to the blogs.

We suspect that the “surprise twist” is the exit of Iglesias (The offense: Using a communication device of some sort to inform the outside world of the LCS goings on, which is strictly forbidden in the rules and regs of L.C.S.!!) We suspect also that, through skillful editing, the producers made it appear early on that the ejected Iglesias was the odds-on favorite to be the last comic standing.
