Why in the hell did a comedy competition that started on October 11 get posted on Turner Network's press page just today? That's twelve kinds of messed up, that's what that is, Maynard. Well anyway, TBS and MySpace have this online challenge going where they're asking unknown comedians to submit videos to the "Stand Up Or Sit Down Comedy Challenge" through the competition's MySpace page. Right now you can vote on the fifteen comics who remains, and the top five will appear on TBS, November 17 at 10 pm, in a special hosted by George Lopez. The following night, during TBS's simulcast of Comic Relief, a winner will be announced and given a development deal plus $50,000.
Speaking of Comic Relief, is anyone looking forward to it? I have to say, the comedy powers of Williams, Goldberg and Crystal just don't quite work on me like they did when I was much younger and couldn't change the channel because the knob was broken and the vice grips my father placed on the TV were too cumbersome for me to get a hold of.
