TV: Last Comic Standing--Jon Reep isn't funny (Spoilers!)

so last night my wife and i watched one of our "essential" summer viewing shows--Last Comic Standing.

first question--when is this comedy show going to show actual comedy?

i have to say i've been disappointed with this show since they've gone to the final 10. unfortunately, given that the obviously funnier Matt Kirshen barely beat out Deborah DiGiovanni to win the head to head challenge, I am pretty sure NBC has figured out to go with the unfunny shit that appeals to most Americans.

case in point--fellow Last Comic contestant Amy Schumer was shown helping Matt out with his set (proving once again that mousy British men can get any girl to sleep with them thanks to their accents) and was saying that she was afraid that Matt's set would be "too cerebral" for an American audience. So Matt goes out there, delivers a funny set that has a broad appeal, and even takes one of Deborah's own jokes and twists it into his own, and yet he barely beats her?

obviously, America needs to get their collective heads out of their collective asses to figure out what funny is. It wasn't Dante, and it sure as hell isn't Jon Reep, who i feel got lucky during the Medieval Jester contest (the way some of those comics bombed, I felt bad for Doug Benson, who had funny material, but went up against a stronger Lavell Crawford, who killed with a joke about being black, as opposed to being fat, which is basically what all of his jokes are about.)

of course, this show is plagued by the fact that no one can swear (although Amy seems to have an abundance of "I'm a slut jokes') and that we probably can't see their best material because of it.

this would probably be a great show on pay cable...
