« The election that counted »
NBC's "Last Comic Standing" had its Wild Card competition, and Jay London is back on the show. All is right with the world.
London beat out four other comedians with his dry wit and clever jokes. "I took a crash course on defensive driving." His jokes took a while for the audience to understand, but so what if it takes three seconds more to understand a truly clever joke?
He looks uncomfortable on stage. He wears a sleeveless shirt and he has his coat in his hand.
I would probably see nine of the ten comics featured on this show if they came to Connxtions Comedy Club.
So here's my second version of the "Last Comic Standing" Comic Standings
1. John Heffron
2. Alonzo Bodden
3. Jay London
4. Tammy Pescatelli
5. Gary Gulman
6. Kathleen Madigan
As for the four comics that didn't make it, I'll rank them too, although what's the point (then again, what's the point of ranking anything?)
1. Todd Glass
2. Corey Holcomb
3. Bonnie McFarlane
4. ANT
We miss you, Jim Wiggins.
