P. Diddy has assembled a good mixture of fresh faces and familiar ones who have appeared on shows like the Comic View. The comedians kept the crowd entertained and each one had their own qualities which obviously helped them in being chosen for the show. The old school hip-hop aesthetic, energy and chemistry of Doug E. and Mister Cee works very well, especially with crowd participation. There are no dancers that crowd the stage at that end of the show to show their skills, but there are people dancing and partying in the audience throughout, especially when "The Strongest Finisher In The Game" throws on a current club banger like the Terror Squad's "Lean Back."

Unlike Def Comedy Jam, P. Diddy has decided to take his comedy showcase straight to DVD instead of going the television route, eliminating network and advertising dollars. It will be interesting to see how successful this latest venture will be because of that. With bootlegging at an all time high and computer technology being where it is, it runs the risk of being "ghetto gold" without seeing much real profit going to the proper parties. Regardless of its success or failure, it is just another chapter in the life of one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the history of entertainment. And with his track record, I would not bet against him becoming "the new king of comedy."
