Last Comic Standing wins slot
The results, as reported by Media Life Magazine, are in. Last Comic Standing…
…averaged a 3.7 adults 18-49 overnight rating from 8 to 10 p.m. last night, winning its timeslot handily. It also led NBC to No. 1 for the night, well ahead of rerun-laden CBS, with a 3.5 average to the latter’s 2.6.
Lest anyone still wonder why a professional standup comic would subject himself to the vagaries of this “contest,” we remind all that each point represents roughly 900,000 viewers.
Viewer bulletin: Bravo, NBC’s supercilious and mildly effeminate little brother, is re-running the hell out of LCS. Check it out again tonight at 10 PM EDT.

Don’t know whether anyone else noticed, but NBC is running an online contest with some comics who were not originally selected. According to nbc.com, the winner of the online contest will “advance to the next round.” Listed on the site are: FRED BOTHWELLLet’s hear it for Texas, feeling dainty, and having warm, buttery buns.
