Last Standing

My favorite comic, Myq Kaplan, was the first of the final five to be eliminated. He is clever and a little edgy, and probably too esoteric for the general TV audience that did the voting. There were couple of contestants who had been eliminated by the judges earlier whom I enjoyed more than the four remaining, but now, I preferred the eventual winner. The last two were the only ones to perform, and his set was clearly superior, and cemented my decision.

I had planned to try to determine here the factors that brought about the selection of a man of Hispanic heritage, given the potential controversy it might evoke, but I have decided that the voters must have recognized that, in the tradition of George Lopez and Paul Rodriguez, he's funny. As I have always said, it is only illegal behavior to which Americans object.
