Cousin Skeeter on DVD
When you can get Cousin Skeeter you'll probably be able to get the Fastlane DVD.
June 13, 08:22 PM
Keep in contact with musicians from MTV jams?
Yeah. Those are like lifelong friends. We try to keep in touch. I just stopped by MTV recently. On a side now, I'm learning to play the guitar and keyboard right now.
June 13, 08:21 PM
Conquer Nerves
I had to say a real big, "DAMN IT, LET'S DO THIS!" I still get nervous, but I love it so much that I just fight through it. You gotta have the love!
June 13, 08:21 PM
Will there be a chance for people at home to vote?
Yes. You will be able to vote in the semifinals, once we weed out who is going to make it. Right now, it's just auditions, but when we get to semifinals it's going to be fun and you'll get a chance to vote. It's going to be crazy!
June 13, 08:20 PM
International Aspects
I think it's gonna be an incredible lift to us, because more people will get to see the show. It's amazing for the comics, it's amazing for me. People who maybe haven't encountered us yet will get to. They'll be like who's this Bill Bellamy guy? I think everyone is going to gain a wider audience, which is invaluable in what we do.

Can't find right time to show the world my stuff
When you have the confidence to go against all odds and edition, the world will find out, rather quickly, if you're ready. You gotta be on stage, man. That's the only way to get good. There's no way to cheat it. No quick way. You gotta practice.

Keith - College
Thanks Keith...thank you, brother! Thank you so much.
June 13, 08:18 PM
Places I like to hangout
New York or LA is where I'm usually. I like the Laugh Factor and the Comedy Store and Comedy Union, the Improv in LA. And Caroline's and Gotham's in New York. Boston Comedy club, stuff like that. I just pop in there and check stuff out.

Mimi - Becoming a Comedian
It depends on how creative you are and how fast you can write. there's no real time table...just depends on how quick you can write your material. You just have to get your top jokes together and try them out...see what works the best. Try them out on friends, see what they like...that's what I did.
June 13, 08:16 PM
On Fastlane, who was more in the makeup chair, Peter or me?
Peter. He had to make sure his hair was fluffy.
June 13, 08:16 PM
Comedy or Drama?
I love stand-up first and foremost. It's my first love. I like any acting, whether it's comedic or dramatic...as long as it challenges me and moves me when I read it. It doesn't matter.
We're coming back with Bill Bellamy's "Who's Got Jokes?" second season.
June 13, 08:15 PM
Booty Call...
Yes. I did originate that phrase on Def Comedy Jam. I am the originator. The creator. The motivator.
June 13, 08:15 PM
Finalists on Tour?
Yeah, I think they will. They've been talking about it, so I think they will. There's definitely going to be a tour after this year...you might even see me! You never know...I might pop in there!
June 13, 08:14 PM
How to tell an excellent joke
There is a beginning, middle, and end to a joke and you can't get to the end unless you set up the joke. The end should be the punch that knocks it out of the gate, and if you made a stumble along that road, it's going to suck.
June 13, 08:14 PM
Internet and Comics
I think it's better because as comics we need exposure...with Last Comic Standing being interactive and international, how can you lose?!
June 13, 08:13 PM
My inspirations
Eddie Murphy. I like Martin Lawrence. Bernie Mack. Dave Chapelle. Chris Rock. Jaime Fox.
June 13, 08:13 PM
Favorite Comedian This Season?
There's a couple of people who are really funny. A couple stand out...Lavelle Crawford is somebody you guys should watch out for. Ralph Harris, Dante...there's more, but you'll have to watch.
June 13, 08:13 PM
Interacting with Judges
We hung out a lot during the show and being together we worked on our chemistry and it really came across on the show.
June 13, 08:12 PM
Who's funnier? Monkeys or ant?
I think Ant cause you never know what he's going to say or what angle he's going to take. He's crazy and spontaneous and kind of cool.
June 13, 08:12 PM
Mel Silverback
I don't understand it! It takes a strong man to come out there with a gorilla suit, but the good thing about being a gorilla is if you stink it up, no one knows who you are! No one is looking for gorillas...you can still go to the mall! Maybe the unknown comic is back!!
June 13, 08:10 PM
The House
The house is gone...they didn't pay the rent. No, but actually...those house is not part of it this year. We think it's more important to stick to the comedy. We didn't think the fans were concerned about them living together. It's all about who's the funniest person in the world.
June 13, 08:08 PM
Auditions Globally
I definitely enjoyed going to all the city, however I'm not a part of the casting process. I'm just the host...but I like watching the comedians get busy.
June 13, 08:08 PM
Excited about hosting/past hosts
No I did not talk to the past hosts. I'm really excited about this season cause I think the show has been bigger then it has been since it's opened up to an international audience and we worked hard to find some funny comics - and not so funny comics!
June 13, 07:50 PM
Bill's on his way!
Bill's on his way and will be here in a moment. Stand by, Last Comic fans!
June 11, 05:35 PM
We're Looking Forward to Wednesday!
We hope you'll join us for another exciting live blog with Last Comic Standing host Bill Bellamy after the east coast airing of the episode at 11pm EST (8pm PST.)
In the meantime, why not leave your burning questions about the show, the comics, the host, etc. right here in the comments? That way we'll have plenty of questions to get started with once he starts blogging.
We look forward to seeing you in the comments!
