Yep folks..this is to announce that television still works.
Apart from cricket and news i mean. It always works for them. Just as it never did work for day time soaps. With or without Ekta Kapoor. Or for infotainment (whatever that's supposed to mean). Or for stylish english movie's dubbed in Hindi. Kill Bill Part -2 (Bill ki Maut-Dwitia)
If you havent guessed what i'm talking about, ladies and gentlemen, in true stand up comic style I give you- Last comic standing. Mondays 10 PM Star World. One -hour. Unlike sanitized, de-odoured, studio produced shows like simpsons or friends or the others-this one is raw. And gritty. And embarrassing. And you get to get to see guys like Buck who followed the talent scouts around 7 cities in the US and got rejected every single time.The scouts gave up in the 8'th and allowed him a live performance. This guy changed nothing and and came up with his standard intro line for the 8'th consecutive time across 8 cities-"Hello everyone-and welcome to the BUCK-STAR show!" And of course-got kicked out. He was super cool though.
And then there is this 65 yr old guy with a strong texan + amitabhbacchan accent. Smooth. Like crude(oil), if you get what i mean. He's been doing stand up comedy for the last 35 yrs in small bars around in Texas and never got noticed. Now he feels he's mellowed and matured (like (in) whisky) and his time has come. He's moved on to the next round and looks a strong contender. Do see where he goes next week.
Till then.(as he says)
Good night ladies and gentlemen,
and thanks for laughing.
