Last Comic Standing 2: The Final Twist?by Dale Sherman -- 07/21/2004
View Printable version of this article Word just reached us here at RealityNewsOnline about the rules pertaining to the voting for the "Wildcard" episode to occur on July 27th for Last Comic Standing 2. Those rules can be found by clicking here. In setting these rules up, NBC.com appears to have also given away the final "twist" of the series. Here's a quote from the rules: Voting is simple and easy. To vote, simply watch the five ousted comics of "Last Comic Standing" perform on the show on Tuesday, July 27, the final six comics on Tuesday, August 3, and the final three comics on Tuesday, August 10, all on NBC. Then you may vote for your favorite comic by telephone or on-line.So instead of a final five, or even a final six, we will end up instead with a "Final Three" for the very last head-to-head of the season. This will certainly make the final numbers more competitive for whoever makes it to the very last round. It also could avoid a situation where one comic ends up getting more votes because all of the other votes were split amongst a variety of people. Here's what the schedule means to viewers at home that may wish to vote: July 27: The "Wildcard" episode where all five voted-out comics will compete for a wildcard slot in the final rounds of head-to-heads. This will be a chance for viewers to vote for either Bonnie, Todd, ANT, Jay, or Corey. July 29 (special Thursday episode): The reveal is done for the winner of the wildcard. If the information at NBC.com is correct, no further voting will be done at this time. August 3: The "Final Six" will compete in an hour-long episode for the "Final Three" spots. Viewers will get to vote for either Tammy, Kathleen, Alonzo, John, Gary, or the "wildcard" winner to make the "Final Three." August 10: A reveal will be done to show who the "Final Three" are. The three will then do a final head-to-head. Viewers will then get to vote for who they want of the final three to win the competition. August 12 (special Thursday episode): This will probably be a two-hour finale, much like last year, featuring the ten comics being interviewed by Jay, and then the final reveal to the winner of the show.
