Synopsis: Last Comic Standing: The Search for the Funniest Person in America is hosted and executive-produced by actor/comedian Jay Mohr (Mohr Sports).

The new series has an eight-episode commitment and will provide a new spin on alternative programming as it features a nationwide talent search for professional and non-professional comedians (both male and female).

Once the selection process is narrowed to 10 finalists, after the semi-finals in New York and Los Angeles, the program will then follow the comedians as they live together in a house and compete for the ultimate prize-an exclusive talent contract with NBC. (courtesy NBC Entertainment, 2003)
