News Flashes: “Sing-Off”, “Last Comic Standing” Renewed
Here are some quick updates for our world of unscripted television this morning.
*Last winter’s shocking it, The Sing-Off, will be coming back for a second season. The Nick Lachey hosted a cappella singing competition did surprisingly well for NBC in December. No return date is set just yet, but I wouldn’t doubt they’d try to place it at the same time. It was easy, light-hearted fare for the Christmas season. They played it perfectly. I may have not been the biggest fan but at least this show, unlike many others, tested people with actual unbelievable singing skills. No negativity in this at all, just pure singing, and that attracted a lot.
*NBC has renewed another reality show. Out of no where, they will be bringing back Last Comic Standing. It’s the show that will never die. The show, which has been on and off the air since 2003, puts stand up comics against each other to find the freshest talent in the country. It’s a reality show for comedy junkies like myself, so I’m excited to hear about it. The hilarious Craig Robinson from The Office, Zach and Miri Make a Porno, and the new comedy Hot Tub Time Machine. The eventual winner receives $250,000 and an NBC talent contract. It’ll be back this summer, so definitely don’t miss that one. It’s the anti-reality show for people who really don’t care for reality shows like myself.
*People are always wanting new game show apps for their iPhones. Ludia released a great new one. They’ve released the all new The Price is Right 2010 Edition. First off, they’ve updated the graphics to mix with the current look and feel of the show, so good on them. New games like Clock Game, Golden Road, and Safe Crackers have been added. You can make new 3D avatars for the game, (but you can’t search for unobtainium, sorry). It’s just a really nice update to an already nice game. It’s regular price is $4.99, but right now it’s on an introductory sale of 40% off, for a $2.99 price tag. If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch I’d definitely recommend getting it as soon as possible before the price jacks back up.
I agree with you on the TPIR 2010 app for the iPod touch. It's very good. I can't wait for the PYL app to come out!

For one of the winners in a past season of "LCS", Alonzo Bodden, I would say he's doing pretty good. He's performed twice in my hometown of Thunder Bay, Canada. He came once BEFORE he was on the show at some local place above a restaurant called the Finlandia Club, where they have a comedy night every once in a while, because Thunder Bay isn't big enough to have a regular club like that. However, AFTER he won, they brought him back, but they needed a bigger place because of the win, so they booked him in the grand ballroom of the Valhalla Inn. It may be a good show to watch ( in the later rounds). They are actually still showing reruns of the show on Game TV, which is sort of Canada's answer to GSN.
