It's exciting for me as a comedy fan to see this sort of epic effort put into a local talk show because of the greater implication. You see, at heart most comics are... writers. So because of a lack of industry (general entertainment industry, not stand up), most comics, when they get to a certain level, move to either New York or LA. There is simply not enough work for folks to live on. So having a vehicle where Chicago's exceptional talent pool of comics can showcase some writing prowess is a great opportunity.
