They’re gearing up for the super-duper elimination round, where they pick the final ten comics that go to Los Angeles. The comics are sequestered at the Bally’s and at Paris.
We know for a fact that the producers chose many more comedians than they needed in the various casting calls that they conducted around the country earlier this year. We understand that it’s prudent to leave yourself a comfortable margin when producing a show– schedule conflicts arise, old arrest records surface, etc.– but from the sound of things out there, a lot of people who got red envelopes were told that they weren’t going to Vegas.
So far, all we’ve heard is that Bryan Kellen has been eliminated– we’re not sure why. Kellen made it through from Tempe.
The shows take place sometime soon, probably this weekend. We’ll try to get the scoop and let you know as soon as possible. (We’re bringing the laptop to Minneapolis.)
