Josh Blue won? This guy was not even funny. I felt sorry for him b/c all his jokes were about his disability. He's a one-trick pony. He got the sympathy vote, IMO.

I agree. Hopefully, Ty will have the good sense never to say it out loud.

There have always been comics who acted like they were retarded/disabled/unstable (Bobcat Goldthwait, Howie Mandel in his pre-Deal or No Deal career). Eventually, they flamed out. On the other hand, obese comedian Louie Anderson was never just The Fat Comic; his jokes about his weight were part of a larger package of his angst growing up, and how he can look back and laugh now.
