Season 7 of Last Comic Standing has been running every week on Mondays for six weeks now. Yesterday was the Finals of Last Comic Standing in which the 10 top comics as voted by the judges in previous weeks each performed a bit to win over America's votes. There were some comics who outperformed and others who you would question how they even made it to the finals if you had not seen their previous performances.
In the field of 10, these are the four that I particularly liked and would like to see move on:
*Mike DeStefano: To be completely honest, I was not crazy about his audition nor semifinal performance. He was one of the characters that I was in some sense upset to see make it to the finals. His shouting and biting delivery annoyed me. I thought the judges voted for him because they felt more threatened by him than amazed. However, his Finals performance was exceedingly impressive and while he may have a tough exterior he also showed to be an extremely good comic.
*Tommy Johnagin: This guy is hilarious, he takes ordinary situations that people would not think twice about and makes them funny. While his semifinal performance was good, his final performance was great.
*Myq Kaplan: His on-the-fly wit is outstanding and is someone I would expect to go far in the competition. He is able to throw a mix of self-deprecating humor and self-praising humor in such a way that is strangely funny.
*Roy Wood Jr: So far he has my vote as the funniest comic in the competition. He is able to bring up joke patterns in his routines that really holds the audiences' attention. Ok...so what I just may not have made much sense although hopefully you see what I am trying to say after watching a few of his performances. He has original humor that is hard to top.
While all of these comics were impressive last night, I voted for Roy Wood Jr. and Myq Kaplan because I thought they were the best of the best. Nonetheless, I would love to see all four of these comics advance.
