Rich Vos is coming to NBC!
That’s right, our own Rich Vos has made the final cut and is as we speak in the reality show comic house “Last Comic Standingâ€.
Last Thursday in Las Vegas, Rich was selected one of the top 10 to go into the house, which is located in LA, and could spend anywhere from a week to 21 days with other comics as they try to determine who is the “Last Comic Standingâ€.
Jay Mohr produces the show and Jay says the show will be ready for air starting May 19th. Jay also mentioned that he couldn’t say much, but that Vos is constantly drooling on the mics and ruining them. Unfortunately he couldn’t tell us much more.
Let’s all wish Rich the best. He truly is a one of a kind and he deserves any success that this opportunity might bring him. And also, let’s hope he just destroys every other comic in that house and with the practice that he has had on the show and hanging with the likes of Norton, Patrice and Colin he should do well.
LAST COMIC STANDING: THE SEARCH FOR THE FUNNIEST PERSON IN AMERICA (premieres Tuesday, June 10, 9 -10 p.m. ET) - “Last Comic Standing: The Search for the Funniest Person in America†is hosted and executive-produced by actor/comedian Jay Mohr (“Mohr Sportsâ€). 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. “Last Comic Standing†is from Peter Engel Productions in association with NBC Enterprises and Giraffe Productions. Peter Engel, Jay Mohr and Barry Katz are executive producers. Rob Fox is co-executive producer. Comedian Rich Vos moved in weeks ahead of time because he is trying to dodge his daughters from back allowance money he owes them.
Rich also hopes to be playing some one on one basketball with his black comic friend "Patrice" in the house's outside basketball court.
Here are a couple more exclusive photos from inside the house...
