> [@lezlers](#): > > **elfkin477** , I feel you on the Jay London thing. I couldn’t _stand_ that guy. He did the same crap every damned week. No Jay, moving over _there_ will not help! Jay London, the other, less funny, Steven Wright. ---

😕 I typed more to my last post than what’s showing. What happened to it? Anyway, I just also commented that I’m surprised that Jay London lasted as long as he did considering how lame his comedy is. ---

It was cancelled due to low ratings, so there won’t be a final show. If you check the NBC website, it says that Alonzo Boden won. People are discussing the cancellation on the message boards there, too. Not that this is a decent comparison, but it’s like CBS cancelling _Big Brother_ right before the final episode because of low ratings. It makes no sense. It’s not like there was a new series premiering that week that they had to make room for. I think they had some animal program on, or some such horsesh\*t. ---

Alonzo won – realitynewsonline had an interview with him. ---

I guess they aired _Father of the Pride_. Okay, so it WAS some animal program. 😃 Why on earth would they air another low-rated program in place of a low-rated program that was ending anyway?? ---

With the show now cancelled on NBC, it wouldn’t surprise me at all to hear Comedy Central pick it up. I understand it did passably well for them. Stranger things have happened. VH-1 picked up “The Surreal Life” when it got the axe by WB. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/last-comic-standing-10-5/267846.md?page=1)
