I watched all of last year. After Dat Phan won, I said I wouldn't watch again if they did it. I lied. I'm just addicted to stand up comedy!

I agree that a few of my favorites didn't make it; however, I will say this. 1. Stand up comedy plays MUCH differently live than on TV. 2. I've seen a few of these comedians on TV and they are much funnier than they appeared. Case in point is Todd Glass. I wasn't impressed with his set, but I have almost sprayed vodka tonics out my nose seeing him.

My biggest disappointment was that Norton couldn't perform in the semi-finals because of other contractual requirements. This man is straight out funny (if you like pissed off New York comedy). He was a side kick on a radio show based out of New York and has guest appearances on a few Comedy Central shows. He could have won this thing easily.
