Last Comic Standing 5

NBC's 'Last Comic Standing' to award $250,000 to fifth season winner

By Christopher Rocchio, 02/27/2007

Just think of the joy buzzers, whoopie cushions and water-shooting flowers you could buy with $250,000.

NBC has announced that in addition to landing a NBC talent contract deal and a Bravo half-hour comedy special that's similar to the prizes that Last Comic Standing's previous winners have received, the winner of this summer's upcoming fifth season will also receive a $250,000 grand prize.

Last Comic Standing's third season -- an "all-stars"-type edition which featured 10 Season 1 comedians squaring-off against 10 Season 2 comedians -- also awarded more than $500,000 in prizes throughout its season. But the fifth season of Last Comic Standing will be the first to offer a cash prize to the series' winner.

Comedian Bill Bellamy will host Last Comic Standing 5, with third season winner Alonzo Bodden and Last Comic Standing 2 contestants Ant and Kathleen Madigan serving as the show's new talent scouts.
