I so wanted to start off on a positive note on Last Comic Standing Two.  I did. I really did. Then along came ANT.  Last year, people were mystified as to why Dat Phan would do the same jokes every episode. ANT is doing the same jokes one year later.  He had a year to write something. Anything.  Okay, ANT. We get it, apparently you're gay. Please have something besides that.  Please?  I'm at the point where I believe that the entire homosexual community is begging you to move on to something.  I'm a recovering alcoholic. If every comedy bit I did was about how sober I am, I'd start drinking.  Then every bit would be about how drunk I am.  ANT, you're better than this. Let's see another subject.

Which brings me to Bob and Ross, the Talent Scouts.  No matter what you think of who they pick, you have to give them credit for sitting through hundreds of hours of some of the best and the worst of stand-up comedy. Even the best of comedy over that long a period will make you question your reason for living. That being said, if either of these two ever kill themselves, there'll be no need for a suicide note. We'll understand.  If I had a hat, it would be off to them for making this show possible.

Now here's the deal I'll make with the comic stripper. You don't do comedy, I'll keep my clothes on.  I'll make the same deal with Buckstar.  Buckstar is what's wrong with entertainment today. So many untalented people get ahead in this business by being pushy.  Buckstar really should not have been shown.  It's just going to encourage people like me to become persistent. I can't imagine where I'd be today with a little assertiveness and self-esteem.  All right.

Now the positive side.  Dan Naturman, Jay London, Jimmy Wiggins.  It was just plain fun watching them. Dan made me laugh out loud.  Jay London reminded me never to judge a book by its cover.  And Jimmy Wiggins.  Let me tell you about Jimmy Wiggins.  Jimmy was the first comic to ever be hard up enough to take me on the comedy circuit with him. My road was paved with the wisdom of the comics I worked with and Jimmy tarred most of it. When he's in your area, go see him. You'll learn something.

See you after Vegas,
