LAST COMIC STANDING To Return To NBC This Summer
The Emmy-nominated series LAST COMIC STANDING will return to NBC this summer in search of the funniest comedian in America, it was announced today by Craig Plestis, Senior Vice President, Alternative Programming and Development. In its first two seasons, the show garnered critical and popular acclaim as it traveled the country looking for the best stand-up comedians, and rewarded them with an exclusive talent deal with the network.
As with previous seasons, talent scouts will travel to major cities nationwide to see performances from thousands of aspiring and professional comedians. In addition through an online component, aspiring participants can submit their tape to NBC.com where online voters will determine one comedian to join those found on the nationwide search.
"LAST COMIC STANDING will be an exciting addition to our summer schedule," said Plestis. "The show gives unprecedented exposure to talented comics and provides countless laughs to our viewers in the process."
