...is Dat Phan, and I think he deserved it. Ralphie May's xenophobic "I'm entitled to kill Iraqis to run my fat-ass SUV cheaply" set was just not funny. Tess and Cory Kahaney just didn't deliver, though they're funny women, and Rich Vos Is Not Funny. He said more funny things on the first hour of the final episode than he did in all the previous episodes, including his stand-up sets. You have to wonder if "the don" of diddly would have even gotten in the house had his friend Colin Quinn not been one of the semi-final judges.

Alas, Dat needs new material, and fast. I watched the odious "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" tonight to see his appearance, and every one of his jokes was recycled from the series, as was his final performance in the last episode. It's funny stuff, and I really like his heart and delivery, but if his Comedy Central special is all of this stuff again, I'll be highly disappointed.
