Previously on Last Comic Standing...

Gary returned to the house after defeating Ant and everyone was glad to see him, but also a little surprised that Ant didn't win. However, the tension in the house has dropped considerably, and Corey moved out of the room he shared wth Ant because there were "bad vibes" there.

A cute pup named Rusty came to the house and everyone fed him. Later, Kathleen picked up the card from the Fortune Teller machine. The card said that the group will face its toughest crowd yet.

On the trip to the next challenge, the bus went through some pretty diverse neibrhoods. Everyone thought that their "toughest audience" would be inmates when they saw the barbed wire on the fences in the place they finally stopped. Jay Mohr met the group and explained that their tough crowd was inside the building. The comics were greeted by a clown, and then their tough crowd came in: kids! The idea was to dress up in funky costumes and try and make the kids laugh.

The comics realized that kids really were hard to please. Each person had their turn, some falling on their faces (literally and figuratively). Alonzo said that after this, he had a new respect for clowns.

To decide who was funniest, the kids were given stickers to put on the person of their choice. Kathleen ended up with the most stickers with 6, and won immunity. She also won a sumptuous meal at Noe, and got to choose two housemates to bring with her. She chose Corey, because he took her to Aspen when he won the laundromat challenge; and Gary, because she felt bad that she had voted for him the week before. Then they went off to their dinner date by limo!

The kids also chose Jay London as the worst, so he was tasked with making dinner for everyone else back at the house. Jay can't cook, so Tammy helped him prepare what looked like grilled cheese sandwiches.

As the time drew close for the next head to head, discussions were taking place about who would be the ones involved with the head to head. Jay London was looking forward to the challenge, and that the "Comedy Gods" would determine his fate.

The voting took place with everyone going to the photo booth and uttering that famous phrase, "I know I'm funnier than _______________". When the voting was over, there was another tie! Gary and Jay London each had two votes, thereby having to challenge each other to stay another week in the house.

At the "Last Comic Theatre", Jay Mohr got the audience going by talking about how much he hates cats. Then Jay London took the stage to do his usual routine of one liners: he buys his hair care products at PetCo; he wanted to learn music so his father gave him a blunt instrument and to "knock yourself out"; that his girlfriend had crabs so he bought her fishnet stockings (eww!)...

Gary was next and started out talking about The Pill...and that we all know which pill he was talking about; about those electronic roadsigns that show how fast you're going...until Gary realized he had something like that on the dashboard in his car!

When Gary was finished, Jay Mohr asked the audience to vote. When the votes were tabulated, it was revealed that with 89% of the vote, the audience chose Gary as the winner for the 2nd week in a row! Gary was happy he won, but sad that his friend Jay London was leaving. Jay said that he had had a great time, and that being on the show was a great opportunity.
