Last Comic Standing Continues for Another Season
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Renewals,
NBC announced that a fifth season of the stand-up talent show, Last Comic Standing, will air this summer. Thankfully, last season’s host, Anthony Clark, has been replaced. I don’t have anything against Clark, but he didn’t seem to add much to the show and had a frightful amount of makeup on. This go-around will have comedian Bill Bellamy taking on the hosting duties, plus the show goes international. So, no longer will auditions be held solely in American cities—we’ll also see what kind of comedy chops there are during auditions in London, Sydney, and Montreal. Former Last Comic Standing contestants, Alonzo Bodden, Kathleen Madigan, and Ant will be on hand to scout out talent in the audition cities. No word yet on when exactly the series will air or if the contestants will be living together.

New Reality Series: The Imposter

ABC is jumping into the reality arena again—this time searching for the best imposter. I think I’m done saying that I can’t believe the depths that reality shows have sunk too. Now it’s simply not good enough to be on a televised talent show, you have to show how talented you are at impersonating someone! Just when they seem to have run out of concepts, they dig another one out.
The Imposter comes from the folks behind Last Comic Standing, and will seek out the best celebrity impersonator. ABC has ordered eight episodes of the series, expecting to air in summer 2007. Impersonations aren’t just limited to Madonna, Cher, Elvis or Liza, however—the show will consider entries in the musician, actor and athlete categories. The show is also casting their panel of judges and host. May I suggest Brian Dunkelman? I think his calendar is free.
