Roy Wood Jr., right, says his farewell after
host Craig Robinson announced his third-place finish.
So very close.
In tonight’s season finale of “Last Comic Standing,” Birmingham native Roy Wood Jr. finished third. Felipe Esparza beat Tommy Johnagin to win the title and the $250,000 grand prize.
“My journey is for every road comic (who) started in the South and the Midwest (who’s) doing this the hard way,” Wood said. “I just want to say thank you to America, my mom, the city of Birmingham, Florida A&M University.”
Wood will head out on tour with them and runners-up Myq Kaplan and Mike DeStefano. While the tour won’t come to Birmingham, it will play two other stops in Alabama — Montgomery on Feb. 19 and Mobile on Feb. 20 — as well as a New Year’s Eve show in Atlanta. Tickets go on sale in early September.
Landing a spot on the show, and then in the Top 10, was a small victory in itself, as Wood had tried out unsuccessfully for two previous seasons.
Each week, viewers votes by phone and website determined eliminations. The show concluded its seventh season tonight.
Video to be added.
