You can't miss the bear

Last night's contest at the Forum was a pretty good time. Al only wanted me to do a couple of minutes up front, so my opening bit mainly consisted of explaining how the contest was going to run, and making sure people didn't talk during the show. The only bit I was able to get out was my skiing one (and Johnny Kavanaugh (one of the judges) gave me some awesome advice about slowing down one part). The show was really fun, and Chris Smith (the other judge) said I did a good job bringing everyone to the stage the same. After all 18 comics went up, I brought up Tyrone, while Al and I counted the audience votes (there were two "sets" of winners, with a first and second prize going to the audience's favorites and the judges' favorites). Steve Poggi and Nick Lacer took first and second place respectively for the audience. Josh Arnold and Brian Dowell took first and second from the judges. Congrats to all four of them.
