NBC has taken Last Comic Standing off the air twice now, but it looks like they're tapping that well again for Summer 2010, according to Entertainment Weekly. It's been a controversial format from the beginning, with many believing it's just a showcase for established stand-up comedians. I've never had a real problem with it, as long as it's not guys like Ron White or Dave Chappelle.
You can be an established comedian living in your car, so there's still a validity to their being involved on a show like this. NBC is promising a new host and some more jiggering with the format if it does go into full production for the summer. I love stand-up comedy, so I'm a huge supporter of anything that keeps the format alive.
As long as no one brings Jeff Dunham on the show as a mentor or anything, we're good. While they're at it, since it is NBC, they need to find a way to work in Grandma Lee from America's Got Talent. She was on of the funniest "old lady" comedians I've ever seen; and she wrote all her own material!
