When I was thinking about how I got into reality shows, I forgot about "Last Comic Standing". I've watched it ever since the beginning and I believe I liked the first season best of all. I enjoyed seeing the comics living together. The humor that popped up in daily life was as funny as the stand up performances. From the previews, I'm hoping there will be a little of it this season.
They're down to 12 finalists and it looks like 2 will be eliminated next week. I love Esther Ku, but I'm thinking at this point that Marcus will end up being the last comic standing at the end of the show. In my opinion Jim Tavare and God's Pottery won't last too long because their acts are not seeming very diverse. I also like Papa CJ, but I feel he needs to move away from call center and outsourcing jokes. It is material that we enjoy, but we can only hear those things so many times then they get old.
Which makes me think back to Esther Ku. While her ethnicity is a big inspiration for her humor, I hope she won't limit herself to jokes about being Korean-American. Dat Phan, the first season winner tended to limit his humor too much to being Vietnamese. I have barely seen him since he won. Some of the losers have done better. I see more of Ralphie May, from that season, that I do of Dat Phan. The comic I see most often is ANT from season 2. He's made a niche for himself in the reality tv world as host of "Celebrity Fit Club" and contestant in "Celebracadabra".
