Bikini Day's Introduction to Last Comic Standing Season 2
Article by Mike Liebner

The second season of Last Comic Standing is coming to us soon! The program will debut on June 8, 2004 on NBC with a two hour episode.

The series Last Comic Standing: The search for the funniest person in Amerca is hosted by comedian/actor Jay Mohr. Personally, I think Jay Mohr is a brilliant actor and I was mesmerized by his character in the short lived Fox series Action!, one of the best shows to ever hit TV. In fact it is hard to see Mohr as anybody other than the smug rude Hollywood executive he played in that half hour comedy. Unfortunately Action was cancelled and yanked off the air before even being allowed to garner an audience (we all know critical acclaim doesn’t count for much, hence the recently cancelled Wonderfalls).

Last season's winner Dat Phan, the Last Comic Standing

In any event, it appears Jay Mohr has landed on a winner and will be walking the show through it’s second season, apparently as executive producer in addition to the host of the festivities. Jay Mohr has also recently made dramatic appearances on West Wing, and of course is well known for his tenure on Saturday Night Live..

The premise is that a nation wide talent search yields 10 male and female stand up comedian finalists who end up living in a house (ala Surreal Life) and compete for an exclusive talent contract. A healthy dose of stand up comedy mixed with the real life humiliations we have grown to love so much make this show appealing to a wide audience.

Stay tuned to find out whether we think the show is funny or deserves to be heckled.
