Last Comic Standing: San Francisco CORRECTION
We heard from some folks from the Bay Area. “All the SF winners were pretty good looking and on the younger side,” said one report. We detect a trend. Producers are displaying a passion for non-comics in wacky costumes (as cannon fodder– no one expects any of these “acts” to eventually compete), we hear that the choices for eventual advancement to Los Angeles are skewing young and attractive.
The comics who advanced out of the nighttime showcase:
Mike E. Winfield
Andy Haynes
Iliza Shlesinger
Jeff Dye
CORRECTION: We incorrectly reported Elian Drakefield as getting through… we are now told it was Drennon Davis
Whitney Cummings
Meehan Brothers

Traci Skene Kindle Single hilariously skewers traditional social and sexual mores as well as modern feminism. "This book is a prime example of quality over quantity."
"This book made me laugh out loud! ”

I’ve been watching Last Comic Standing since it started. It is the best and worst thing to happen to stand-up comedy in the last few years.
Having been on the show (got through Chicago to the L.A. round on Season 4)and knowing a lot of the people on other seasons who made it to the top five, I think the show can be a great thing for a comic who knows how to use it to their advantage, but I also know that the show’s focus is not on making that comic a star in his or her own right, but in making the show itself entertaining during the run of the show. The show has never been about casting the best comics (which is not to say some of the best comics haven’t been cast, but they were often cast for other reasons, like personality, look, etc.) but about casting the best group of people to compete in an entertaining way. But I will say that what I’ve seen thus far in the casting this season is puzzling to me. There are some funny people here. There are some names I don’t know at all. But, and this is a fact, not an opinion, so don’t say I’m talking shit here, but, in respect to all previous seasons except season one, there are far less proven, club and television tested, professional killer headliners than on any previous season. With the house now eliminated, and the focus being more on standup, it seems strange to me that the producers are moving backward in terms of experience for their cast. Jon Reep, Gerry Dee, Lavelle Crawford, Doug Benson, and Ralph Harris were all, whatever your personal opinions of their comedy, proven audience-crushers. One would think that, knowing that the final and highest rated episodes are straight standup showdowns, they would have continued in this direction, but they have chosen not to. I don’t know why, but I’m interested.
