Lavell vs. Jon: Who Will Have the Last Laugh?
Well, this is it, the final two. It's close — Jon and Lavell both had good sets. Now let's see what America, Canada, the U.K. and Australia think. The international comics were great, but its an American finale.
Sorry, Gerry Dee, you had a great run. What's up, Canada? You guys couldn't get enough votes for the hometown guy. I love Canada but I bet Gerry went up against preseason hockey or something.
OK, whose idea was it to make the best of the worst a top eight countdown. Countdowns are top 10 and believe me, there were more than enough to fill 10 spots. I think the guy who won "the best of the worst" should have to give money back to the show. That was frightening. I remember that and why did I have to watch it again? I would have voted for combat dancing but each was disturbing in its own way.
Kathleen Madigan, hilarious as always. Rednecks and chemistry is always going to be funny. I love her.
Greg Proops, great job. I loved the persuasive arguments and I'm voting for the woman or the black guy myself.
I love Gilbert Gottfried. I love the voice, the interviews and the jokes. The toothpick/Jew joke was great.
To those who have no idea what I'm talking about, you should have watched the show.
Jon reading silently with Bill Bellamy was funny. By the way, did you notice Bill was having trouble reading this week? What's up with that? Maybe the pressure is getting to him, too, or maybe he got tired of teasing us with the names of the finalists. I remember waiting to hear my name, time passes slow as they milk the drama.... We don't do drama well; we're comics.
I don't know who's going to win. Lavell has been great but Jon’s final set was great, too. I'm not voting or picking. I'm too busy begging for my job back next season!
The finale of NBC's Last Comic Standing airs Wednesday at 9 pm/ET.

I think Jon should and will run. Why drag out final show for two hours, enough already.

I'm not from Canada and I liked Gerry Dee the best. But then, I don't ever vote. But I watch. I think two hours is too much also.

I just watched the finale, and although I'm glad Jon Reep won, could Bill Bellamy have been any less excited????? "AND THE WINNER IS.........jon reep."
I noticed all throughout the season that he'd introduce all contestants, but when it came to Lavell Crawford, he'd say something to the effect of "the greatest", or after the set, "that was the best!" or something like that. I am so sick of "African Americans" being able to poke fun at us "white folk." When the tables are turned, Jon's physical comedy FLAT OUT BEAT Lavell's non-stop (occasionally funny) bits about food, white folk, etc.
Personally, I thought it should have been Jerry Dee & Jon Reep in the final two. Throughout the series, Lavell was rude to other contestants (john madden pointed out his 'clapping'}, and condescending beyond what is funny. "I've got Al Sharpton on speed dial." Sorry Lavell, Al can't help that YOU SUCK!
I would never pay to see Lavell Crawford live. Ralph Harris, on the other hand, is hysterical!!!!!!! His bit in the first head-to-head about Jahovas' witness, uncle earl, etc. had me rolling, I watched over & over again.
