From The TV IV

Last Comic Standing is a competitive comedy reality series that pits upcoming stand-up comics against each other until one is declared the "last comic standing." Initially, the winning comic was awarded a development contract with NBC Universal and a special on Comedy Central. From season four on, the special was moved to Bravo.

The format of the series is as such: after several episodes of auditions and the eventual selection of the finalists, the comedians move on to where they will live for the rest of the season. An average episode involves the chosen comics performing some kind of task where the winner receives immunity from being voted out. After the challenge, the comics are rounded up and asked to make the statement "I am funnier than" and the name of another contestant. The person with the most votes is put in a head to head contest against the people who claimed to be funnier than him or her. Those comics give a short stand-up set in front of a live audience and the audience votes on which comedian was the funniest. The one with the least votes is off the show.
