"why is everyone afraid of Kathleen Madigan?"
Posted by heffgirl251 on 07-28-04 at 11:57 PM
We haven't seen much of Kathleen so far. She didn't have to do any head to heads, one because she had immunity and the rest noone said they were funnier than her until this last time when they were having the three way competition. Are the rest of them worried about her? I remember her performances I have seen so far and I am sorry but she's not funny!!!!! And I'm sorry Tammy fans, but she's not funny either.

I've seen Kathleen peform, I think she's drop-dead funny, and I'm not sorry about it at all.

I'd be scared to challenge her too, if I were in that house.

Kathleen is a big time comedianne with skins on the wall and should not even be on this show. That being said, she has showed me NOTHING in the auditions or challenges that have made me think she is the least bit funny. I'd really like to see her do more.

I heard her on the radio in Phoenix the other day though and she had a great bit about Teresa Hines Kerry being the secret weapon that John may use if he's losing. He runs a commercial three days before the election - "ok, I didn't want to have to do this, but if I lose there will be no more ketchup."

"That?"

was a funny joke.

Wish we'd see more of that.

I think the other comedians see her as "easy to beat" and therefore want to save her til last. Same theory as Survivor. Save the easiest one to beat til last. I'm guessing she's saving her A game for later.

I've heard her may times here in Baltimore. She frequents 98Rock's morning show when she's in Baltimore or D.C. and is always very funny and entertaining. I think she is in a league above the others and they know it.

OK.. was that Heinz ketchup bit was supposed to be a joke? Please tell it wasnt, because I am not laughing. KM is awful and so is Tammy. I sincerely hope someone funny wins this year.

I can't imagine them being "afraid" because I don't think she is funny at all. Nice lady, seems sincere, but she just doesn't make me laugh. A couple jokes were amusing, but basically she's not memorable to me.

Perhaps with the other comics, it's just a respect issue - maybe because Kathleen seems a little wiser and more mature, they just leave her alone. She also doesn't push anyone's buttons, so they don't challenge her. Those are my guesses.

Kathleen was the "sandra" of this show. There was always a bigger target to go after. That being said Gary did threaten to go after Kathleen if Ant didn't vote for him in week 3.

Well, I just think there is something wrong with the format if someone can make it into the finals without doing at least ONE head to head.

And did it strike anyone else as ridiculous that we see the losers perform more times by the end of the season than we will most of the finalists? Personally, I heard Bonnie McFarland perform 3 times more than I ever wanted to (not counting the tiny set they do when they audition for the call-back).

And I agree that Kathleen shouldn't even be in this competition. I mean, I have seen her on several specials and even in one sit-com. This is supposed to be to help up-and-comers break through.
