Dat on The Tonight Show |

Heecheechee had some good points. Life is a process of learning.
I think the repetition of the jokes was done on purpose. Why? First, the audience of the Tonight Show (aired very late at night) could be different from that of the Last Comic Standing (aired earlier). As a result, majority of the Tonight Show audience might hear of him and never watch his performance. Also, new materials and new jokes require time. There was very little time left for Dat to compose new jokes after the final competition. And, new materials and jokes that seem funny to a comedian, might not be funny to his/her audience, especially a new and different one. I think it was a great risk for Dat to use completely new materials and jokes for his first time appearance on the Tonight Show. These are only my opinion. |

I agree that i thought he played it safe and didn't risk new material on national telivision. I think he'll probbly work on some material and display on the comedy central special.

I feel sorry for San Diego's comedy scene if that's the case, that's just pathetic ... Most good comics develope atleast one new act a year. Dennis Miller brings 10-15 min of new jokes to Leno's show every month or so. ...as for last night, the Tonight Show appearance was added to the top prize for LCS at the last moment, so Dat probably had no time to even think about writing and shopping [testing] new material. But if Dat's Comedy Central Special is all or much old material, I'd be disgusted [if I had feelings that is]. The Dr. |

jeeg, everyone should just lay off of dat for a while, he's doing top-knoch work. It's one thing to do once-a year material that isn't funny, it's another thing to do material worth telling again and again.

Not a Dat Fan

i think the arguement is that it isn't worth telling again and again

Lol Deja Vu,
But really we haven't made much progress in this discussion in any of the threads. We'll have to wait to see what he does now that he has some breathing time. Anyways it's a personal thing, you can like his jokes or not. Personally they still crack me up. |

It's easier said than done.
Try to win a competition, see how things go, then come back and tell everybody your conclusion. That would be fair. We don't see things as they are. We see things as we are. |

I agree, nobody is in a posistion to judge Dat, unless they have lived his life and were able to get to where he has gotten.

[quote="Phil"]The only comics most people see are the ones on tv, and those comics have teams of people writing thier jokes, at all times. <snip>
Some have writers. For the most part, this statement is inaccurate. Pauly |

I doubt he has 30-60 minutes of *great* stuff or he wouldn't have done 100% repeats in a 3 minute debut on Leno. Pauly |

I also noticed that Dat was using the same material, but you guys have to realize that he said he starts off by developing something and if the crowd likes it, then he develops on it to make it better. He's probably just trying to see what works and what won't work. His jokes on Leno were the same, but I noticed that he also add a lot of little phrases that he HAS NOT used before. Keep working at it Dat

To be a critic doesn't mean one is wrong. Pauly PS I like his bathroom bit/Mortal Kombat. If he was going to repeat one, that's the one he should have done. |
