We have American Idol crowning new signers, So You Think You Can Dance crowning new dancers, America's Got Talent crowning best overall talent, etc. Last Comic Standing crowns new comics, but falters from the original idea a little more every year. This has to go back to them unceremoniously canning of show creator and host, Jay Mohr.<br/><br/>The first two years the show was on, Joy Mohr hosted, and it was very successful with his formula of finding the best comedic talent out there. After the initial auditions, the final ten were named and sent to live in a mansion together, and that was where the real fun began. The comedy that would flow between the comics in their everyday dealings with each other at the house was sometimes funnier than their standup routines. The most unique part was that the comics would find out their challenge every week from a card from one of those old fortune teller machines. <br/><br/>NBC got ahead......
