Last week I was watching "Last Comic Standing 2" on NBC where the last 5 comedians would be chosen to live in the Hollywood home. And, My favorite Jim Wiggins who is a longhair and calls himself "the last American hippie" got a 2nd chance to perform because he got to replace one of the 10 comics who was too successful to be on the show. And Jim Wiggins was FUNNY!!! And I was in shock that he wasn't picked. Instead there was another comic, who also was a longhair was chosen to be in the final 10 only because he's and I quote "The 4th guy from the left on the evolutionary chart". That ain't funny! It so happens that the celebrity judges weren't the only ones voting on the comics. There were 4 NBC producers and executives who also were voting. And they chose the not-funny Jay London who I mentioned before over Jim Wiggins only because they chose different ethnecities over just who's funniest. I'm not trying to sound racist, I'm only saying that the comics that were chosen should be chosen only because they're funny, NOT because they "work in the beyond section of Bed, Bath and Beyond". ];(
The truth is they can pick ANYONE they want to pick. And you can choose to keep watching or just shut the thing off. The TV viewers are not the customers, they are the product sold to advertisers at a bargain price.
