So we're taking twenty percent fewer semifinalists than last year, but we need five times the amount of footage before we can find them? And Doug Benson deliberately blew one audition so he could come back and reverse his style on the other? Gee, it's a good thing Doug knew he'd have that much time. By the way, his name is Doug Benson, and welcome to the Incredibly Slow Show. Stay tuned for our new August Sweeps, when we're hoping to have a contestant perform for something over fifteen seconds.

The problem with doing a worldwide search are the endless rounds of auditions.

In previous seasons, the comics would be living in the house together by now, and doing the "confessional" (I think I'm funnier than . . . )

A worldwide search is a good concept. But it has been slow going so far.

All the auditions being dragged out is not helping. Half the audience will be bored before the real season even starts.
