This has got to be the worst format for a stand up comedy show. There is never a chance for the comedian to get the audience on a roll. You barely get a chance to build any rapport with the comedian. If the joke isn't hystrical it's a completely missed opportunity to sample a comedian.
I think you should consider a longer block for each comedian. At least 5 minutes each, longer if the material is good.
The show is hard to watch in it's current format.

I used to think that however after watching the show for a while now I feel like I've built a rapport with the comedians since they often show the same ones on a weekly basis. It would be nice to have a bit more but I like getting a quick laugh fix before I actually start working.

I agree mitchnetzer, I actually find myself getting a little excited when a comedian I've seen on the show before and enjoyed is coming up next.

It's a good change. It's a good change.

I have to agree, they just cut it way too short. Each comedian should get a longer set in the show. Seriously, they could give each comedian a longer set, release the show two or three times a week, and get twice or three times the sponsor money. They already have to footage shot, so why not?
While they're at it, can they please remove the bleeping? It's not like it makes the show family friendly or anything, they still make some very adult oriented jokes.
I want to like this show. I love stand up comedy and a lot of these comedians are funny, but the formatting just makes it hard.

Haha yeah good point - even with the bleeping it's not like this is a PG rated show!
