I liked last season as well and thought Dat Phan should have won. The attitude of the other comedians toward him was pathetic. I'm glad he knocked so many of them out of the competition. What the hell happened to him? Did he get anything out of winning? Or were they so pissed because an amateur who kept a notebook won that they ignored him?
As far as this year's I've only seen one partial episode so far (didn't even realize it was back on the air until I happened upon it while it was on).
Jay Mohr is definitely trying to stack the deck. Last year they had Voss on this year they've got Jim Norton into the next round. Both were frequent guests (and one a cohost) on the Opie and Anthony radio show. Mohr was tight with all of them. And, of course, Voss is back on now as a judge.
The old guy from the other night (had cancer but is back doing stand up) is another professional that I've seen around quite a bit in the past. The judges definitely gave their favorites more opportunity by talking to them and pushing them to do other bits of their acts which the judges had seen elsewhere in clubs and such.
I see it might go down a very bad track with the way they're picking those that made it through to the next round.
