 George was not only very funny, he was the only one of the three comics who really understood the idea of the game was to get laughs, and therefore made the most of his 45 seconds. That the chickie who won didn't pick him for the bonus game says something about the quality of contestant they're getting for this show.

I'm waiting to see if up-and-coming comedian Bruce Baum will make an appearance. Bruce has been up-and-coming for a good quarter century now, going back to Bobby Van's Make Me Laugh(he's the only comedian to do both Van's and the 1997-98 Comedy Central version). Bruce also has another infamous GS connection: He was one of the celebs the week wanted fugitive Patrick \"Kerry Ketchem\" Quinn won $60K on SUper Password.

 Wouldn't surprise me, nor would I be surprised to see the Bruce Baum of the 1990, Tom Arnold, make an appearance....

(Tom would spend the first 20 of his 45 seconds saying \"Okay! Okay! This is great! Okay!...\")

 The jury's still out. Put it like this: the only time I really laughed at the show was when they did the consolation prize for the luggage...........tags, which was taken from the Comedy Central version of Make Me Laugh. When your prize spiels are funnier than the \"talent,\" we have a problem.  My cousin and I looked at some of the premiere ep., decided that :45 wasn't enough to make good jokes, and went right back to the Spurs-Nets game. (damn you, San Antonio)

I'll either take it or leave it, but it's a good time slot wasted.

 Does that mean that a show in the HIGNFY vein wouldn't fit on GSN?

p.s. HIGNFY means Have I Got News For You
