By Ivette Johnson

Well I have to admit it was really hard for me to peel myself off from reading the Harry Potter 7 book, so I hope this episode of Last Comic Standing makes my decision a worthwhile one!


I miss the first 10 minutes of the show because of a big fire in the wealthiest part of Cincinnati, so I will have to catch up online later, or maybe they will delay the start of the show. It's annoying to try to watch it online because even though NBC's web site says the episode goes online the next morning, last week that totally wasn't true for at least 3 to 4 days after the episode aired. The home on fire is a $3 million estate; somehow I'm not feeling so badly for the family anymore even though I know that's not fair of me to say, but I have a little chip on my shoulder against rich people these days. J

LCS comes on more than 15 minutes after 9 pm, in the middle of a black lady with blond hair doing her routine (I couldn't even catch her name!). I liked her joke about breaking up with her boyfriend for not worshipping her. Is she dressed in honor of the Harry Potter release?


Dwayne Perkins is next � Comparing "platonic friendships" with a great employee not getting hired for the job. I really liked his bit. "QT for the booty" that's a good one I gotta find a way to slip that into casual conversations at work since my husband has started to tell me I should imagine I'm not at work when I actually AM so that I won't hate being there so much.


Matt Kirshen's up � he looks like a leaping lemur but I love the accent. He says he's not really a child and talks about his "oblivious" grin. The jokes themselves aren't that great, but his physical appearance just makes him so funny.


Amy Schumer � I didn't think her joke about making sweet love in the bedroom was going to be funny but it actually was! The last one about her boyfriend trying to kill her wasn't though, it's like she ran out of time and got cut off mid-joke.


Sean Rouse - Talking about his dad dying who knows how long ago and having Restless Leg Syndrome. For some reason even though the jokes are funny he's doing them in such a serious tone they make the jokes a little bit less funny. He says he sucked, poor guy, but I kinda have to agree with him.


Lavell Crawford � Looks like he's going to die just getting on stage. He WANTS to be fat ha ha he's funny. Even though they had his preview a THOUSAND times on the ads it still makes me LOL. He talks about the difficulty of putting on seat belts; I almost can't understand what he's saying but he's still hilarious.


During the ads I realize that the guy from the Verizon "mafia" ad is the same guy from Ugly Betty. Useless information I know but I thought it was a breakthrough discovery.


Greg Warren reminds me of a guy I used to work with who was funny BECAUSE he was trying not to be. Greg's baseball jokes aren't too funny though; I mean it's really interesting to listen to him, but it's just doesn't make me actually laugh. So unfortunately for him he wasn't that similar to the guy I used to work with.



Andi Smith made web sites for a living, which is so sad only because I've been there done that, so I'm actually happy she's here now instead. I laughed at her joke about her boss being called Lou which spelled backwards is OUL (puke sound). But she was a little bit too "relaxed" for me. She might have to go back to making web sites. L


Arj Barker quit smoking because the Camel on the box is actually a horse with a tumor. The part where he says "you're using the wrong accent for this joke" was super funny. Keeper! He's got the style of humor I like the best.


Chuck Roy looks like he stepped straight out of the 70's. He starts talking about Navy Seal video games and while his joke seemed incredibly short it was funny.

Jane Condon (can I tell you all that Condon is Spanish means "condom"?) � And she starts talking about sex, which is a great coincidence! She's a repressed Catholic so for her sex is a job and therefore she fakes sleep. Insightful (and oh so true) but not necessarily funny. Where's her accent from?


Why is Mel Silverback dressed as a gorilla? I just can't get into it: I have to look at people's facial expressions in order to make a connection with a performer. Even the "impression" of "Curious George" wasn't funny. Dump him!


And now for the results, who will be the chosen 5 to join the Top 10? Lots of people believing it's their turn to move on, but also lots of nervous wrecks who think (and could just happen to be right) that they sucked...


1. Jerry Dee (spelling?) who I missed L

2. Audience favorite � Lavell Crawford of course!

3. John Reed (spelling?) � also missed L

4. The tension sucks � Amy Schumer can't believe she made it, I'm so happy for her! Only one spot left...

5. Matt Kirshen, who I'm very happy for, although I'm disappointed some of the guys I liked like Arj and Dwayne didn't make it


And by the way, I didn't get to watch the first 15 minutes so I will have to see it online whenever NBC decides it's CONVENIENT for them to post the show! But for now, we have the funniest 10 people in the world...Next week should be a lot more fun now that the top 10 are competing for the top spot because of all the challenges, etc. As Bill Bellamy closes, Amy still can't believe she's standing up there, which unfortunately doesn't make me so confident for her, but I do wish her good luck.
