Last year, NBC revived their twice-cancelled competition Last Comic Standing for an eighth season of 13 episodes. The ratings were good enough to earn a ninth season renewal, albeit with fewer episodes this time. Will the series be renewed for a 10th season or, will it be cancelled once again? Stay tuned.
Hosted by Anthony Jeselnik, Last Comic Standing is a talent competition that searches for the funniest comic in the country. The winner receives a prize package worth $250,000, which includes a development deal for their own television show. The judges are Roseanne Barr, Keenen Ivory Wayans, and Norm Macdonald. Executive producer Wanda Sykes serves as a mentor.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
For comparisons: The eighth season of Last Comic Standing averaged a 1.23 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.88 million viewers.

I seriously cannot belive the plagerism of the bill hicks line. That guy needed to he called out wtf
Absolutely, Stacy! I was livid! Even posted a comment on the FB page. Down with Moses. Like mother, like son, I guess…
I have a complaint, too. I cannot believe the chose that woman who was so disrespectful of “cops.” Who’s she gonna call in an emergency? One of the black guys she mentioned?
There were a lot of better choice there!
I saw the awkwardly delivered Bill Hicks line too. I couldn’t tell if it was a rip off or a tribute. I was confused.
Rip off. No doubt about it.
One of the act on Last Comic Standing that aired on July 22, 2015 completely plagiarized a verse from one of Bill Hicks’ acts where he said “all matter is merely energy condensed into a slower vibration. We are all one consciousness, experiencing itself, subjectively…” and I about fell off of my couch! The judges called it original!! I know that at least one comedian on that show knew that he stole that from Bill. I don’t know whether or not they are allowed to call out the comedians for that kind of atrocity but they should. Those of us… Read more »
