A nationwide talent search accepting the best professional and non-professional stand-up comedians. Once the selection process is narrowed to 10, the show covers the contestants as they live together and compete for an exclusive contract with NBC, and to be called the Last Comic Standing.

now i admit i haven't seen any of the past seasons cuz i wasn't even aware of the show's existence but i like what they did with this season,it's basicaly american stand-up idol.i really hate american idol,'x country's got talent and x factor and all that crap mainly because of the shitty humor they try to squeeze into it.but last comic standing i think dose a good job and it's about comedy so whoever came up with the idea managed to hook even the kind of person that doesn't watch these talent shows(like me :D )
Don't get me wrong, I still love the show... I'm a huge fan of stand-up comedy so I still enjoy watching these guys perform every week. I just find that it feels a lot more rushed than the first seasons where it was more of a "Big Brother" type of reality show with stand-up comedy. In the original seasons, you got to see the contestants and how they act on a regular basis, and then you got to see them do their stand-up, so they were able to get their personalities across a lot more. Whereas now, each guy has like 5 minutes to just shoot out as many funny jokes as they can. It's pretty tough to connect with an audience in just 5 minutes... and now I believe they are doing the finale with the 5 remaining contestants... so they really just speed through this show now.

I've been a big fan of this show since it started, but I'm really disliking this super quick version without the mansion and all the contests.. In past seasons, you sort of got to know each comic and see their personalities... whereas now we just get 5 minutes of standup each week and it feels so rushed...
On top of that, most of the comics that made it through are not even funny... please, Felipe? The guy is terrible... The only ones that are actually funny are Roy Woods and Tommy Johnagin...
