Well, I couldn’t endure the entire season of Last Comic Standing—I watched the auditions and couldn’t get much further than that. With Anthony Clark taking over the hosting duties from Jay Mohr, I just lost interest. But I was glad to hear that Josh Blue came out as the victor of the competition. With his original take on his own disability, cerebral palsy, he dares to make fun of himself before others can. Blue went into the finals with Ty Barnett, who was also well-received for his jokes and delivery. According to Zap2it, Blue was a sentimental favorite who never had to go in the “head-to-head competitions.” When the viewers could make their choice for their favorite, Blue was able to easily make it through to the finals. The finale of Last Comic Standing spanned 90 minutes and brought back the winners of the past three seasons, as well as an appearance by Jay Mohr, who delivered a short set. Good to see Jay Mohr back—I had written Anthony Clark off as a credible host solely by reason of too much makeup. Scary.

Josh Blue walked away with a talent deal with NBC and a stand up special on Bravo.
