Testify brother! I still can't reeling over the fact that Pablo Francisco isn't in the running. He's been in the business for YEEEEEEEAAAAAARS and his comedic library is massive. He's a staple on Comedy Central for god's sake. Check out Pablo's web site at: http://www.pablofrancisco.com/

And not having Jim Norton compete was a friggin' greek tragedy. Do you all understand that his sets were so good, the editing room gave him almost 50% MORE TIME on air than any other comic? (Review the set times and see for yourself) They basically used his talent then cut him loose. Go check out his web site at: http://www.eatabullet.com/
(Or better yet, read his evil on http://www.cringehumor.net/jim_norton/)

But Dan Naturman. Now THAT was a full-on Network screw if I ever saw one. To quote Jim Norton, what bunch of NBC network douche bags. The DAMNED show intro says "WHO IS THE FUNNIEST?" written on the screen and if they're saying that Dan Naturman isn't a candidate for that title, then I'd say that NBC is guilty of false advertising.

I don't think I've been so bitter about a stupid TV show in my life. I'm not going to boycott the show: I'm no Nielsen family and I don't believe that boycotting does anything.

But I assure you that I will NOT be buying any of the products advertised during the show namely Capital One, Levitra, Kohl's, People PC Online, Ponds, Propel Water, Citibank, SBC, Ocean Spray, Zelnorm, Nissan, Allegra, Best Buy
... and any of the other advertisers.

Additionally, I declare NBC dishonest and I accuse them of jacking around with the public's trust. Nobody's going to buy that NBC wasn't selling the show as a race for the funniest comic. "Who is the funniest?" is on the SCREEN in text... they straight up lied.

And let's face it: Nothing is more honest than comedy: It's either funny to the populous or it's not. There's no BS, there's nothere's no idiotic exemption contests. The fact that comedians like Todd Glass, Jay London, Gary Gulman, and ANT are in the running for this big cheese of comedy gig over some of the much more deserving comics out there is appalling.

But most importantly - I'm going to root for the comics I know are funny on the show (unlike Dat Phan in season 1 <ahem>) and see comics and their live performances like Jim, Pablo, and Dan when the come into town. And I'll bring friends.
