NEXT TIME ON THE APPRENTICE -- TRUMP'S NEPHEW COMPETES: Prof. Yin wasn't too bothered by the "Last Comic Standing" judging brouhaha previously mentioned on these pages, saying it "turned out to be much ado about nothing. At least, the producers were able to make it look that way" based on Drew Carey's apparent mollification after having it explained to him that, no, he was just a "judge", but not a real judge.

As edited by the show's producers, he seemed satisfied. But in real life, however, he called the show "crooked and dishonest" several weeks later. Somehow, I don't trust the producers' edit on this show.

And, really, have you ever seen a disclaimer for a legitimate competition containing language like this?
Prior to the start of the contestant selection process, some talent scouts had various levels of familiarity with some auditioning applicants.

Either it's an actual competition, or it's predetermined casting for "Big Brother: The Comic's House", with two of the final ten being managed by one of the show's producers. Make up your mind, Jay Mohr.

Also, just as the sequel to "America's Next Top Model" should've been named "America's Next Next Top Model" or "Seriously, Dude, Where's America's Next Top Model?", shouldn't season two of this show be "The Penultimate Comic Standing", "One Comic's Still Standing" or something?
