FOS Sean L. McCarthy won The Funniest Reporter Contest last night, held as part of the New York Underground Comedy Festival at Gotham. McCarthy, who writes for the New York Daily News and who blogs about standup comedy, was humble in victory:
These ‘Funniest Reporter/Lawyer/Federal Employee/Fill in the Blank’ contests can sometimes be brutal train wrecks, but at last night’s show, all of the reporters managed to get at least a few laughs from the receptive audience at Gotham.
The same was true at last year’s contest, which was emceed by the Male Half of the Staff (and judged by the Female Half).
