  • Emerging from the Strike FOG.... | Kate's Office Blog | 2/26/2008
    Welcome back, everyone! I know, I know. Long time no see. I guess you are aware that there was a strike. A very strange and frantic strike. But now it’s over. It is behind us and it is now time for the drunken redhead to move forward and face the world again. To say that I have missed you all terribly is an understatement. The strike was an altered state. A constant off-balance feeling. A "FOG," which stands for “Freakin’ Opportunity for Growth”. I had my doubts and fears like anybody on TV who used to wait tables for 20 years. I have been busy performing, picketing, auditioning, working with a singing coach, getting political, doing some charity events, waving in a parade and just plain worrying.I’ve just returned from Minneapolis with the very funny and talented Mr. Brian Baumgartner. We were the judges for Last Comic Standing there. We had a ball. Angela [Kinsey] and Oscar [Nunez] did the same thing in L.A. It was interesting sitting through all that... read more
  • Will the Real Funny Folks Please Stand Up? | Today's News: Our Take | 2/7/2008
    Think you're funny? As NBC's Last Comic Standing changes gears Season 6, this is your chance to prove it. Starting Thursday, comedy vets will host audition nights across the U.S. and Canada to find the next laugh riot.Exec producer Peter Engel tells TV Guide, "Wouldn't it be wonderful to have the cast of... sitcoms like Cheers cast the [next] comics who are all hoping to be like them?" And that's exactly what they're doing: The first open audition is Feb. 7 at the Gotham Comedy Club in New York, with celeb judges Richard Belzer (SVU) and Steve Schirripa. The next stop comes Feb. 14 at Toronto's Yuk Yuk's, with Dave Foley (NewsRadio) and Richard Kind (Mad About You). Then it's on to Minneapolis (Feb. 19, with The Office's Brian Baumgartner and Kate Flannery) and Houston (Feb. 22, Scrubs' Neil Flynn and Fresh Prince's Alfonso Ribeiro. The Office's Leslie David Baker will be on hand in Tempe, Arizona, on Feb. 26, while Josh Gomez (Chuck) and French Stewart (Third Rock) hit San... read more
  • Exclusive: Last Comic Hires Office Workers | Today's News: Our Take | 1/16/2008
    There will be plenty of familiar faces when Last Comic Standing returns to NBC this spring. And, no, we don't mean comedian-turned-reality TV host Bill Bellamy. The show once again will scour the country to find funnymen and women in open casting calls. But this time, producers will replace regular judges with a revolving door of celebrity talent scouts. "I'm going to be nice and pregnant, so entertain me," quips Angela Kinsey, who will whittle down Los Angeles-area wannabes with The Office costar Oscar Nunez. "I tend to really love comedians who weave the fabric of their lives into their stand-up, because I think real life is always better than anything you can write!" Auditions for Season 6 will kick off on Jan. 29 at the Hollywood Improv.For more information, log on to NBC.com/Last_Comic_Standing. — Dana Meltzer Zepeda read more

  • Lavell vs. Jon: Who Will Have the Last Laugh? | Last Comic Standing Blog | 9/18/2007
    Well, this is it, the final two. It's close — Jon and Lavell both had good sets. Now let's see what America, Canada, the U.K. and Australia think. The international comics were great, but its an American finale.Sorry, Gerry Dee, you had a great run. What's up, Canada? You guys couldn't get enough votes for the hometown guy. I love Canada but I bet Gerry went up against preseason hockey or something. OK, whose idea was it to make the best of the worst a top eight countdown. Countdowns are top 10 and believe me, there were more than enough to fill 10 spots. I think the guy who won "the best of the worst" should have to give money back to the show. That was frightening. I remember that and why did I have to watch it again? I would have voted for combat dancing but each was disturbing in its own way.Kathleen Madigan, hilarious as always. Rednecks and chemistry is always going to be funny. I love her.Greg Proops, great job. I loved the persuasive arguments and I'm voting for the... read more
