The crew was in Chicago this week for auditions and there were some weird acts and some really great acts.
First, the weird acts.  Consuelo, with her chanting/gospel form was just terrible, as was poor little 10 year old singer Francisse.  At least the judges tried to be kind to her after she started crying.  The [...]

The top twenty were paired up tonight – for better or worse.  Dan Karaty was the third judge tonight along with Nigel and Mary and he let his opinions be known.
Jaimie and Hok were given hip hop.  Dan appreciated the effort, but Nigel dissed choreographer Shane Sparks when he said that he found Hok’s own [...]

Tonight’s premiere of Last Comic Standing packed in three audition sites – New York, Montreal, and San Antonio. Rather than just concentrating on the U.S. this year, the show will also go to London, and Sydney to look for the funniest comedian.  The judges this year are all previously on the show – Ant, Kathleen [...]
