Nobody wanted to believe in him and she said he's going to be a star someday. Last May, Mitzi Shore gave Rockomedy a similar chance by giving the show its shot at the Comedy Store's coveted main room. That's where Whoopi Goldberg, David Letterman, Jay Leno, Robin Williams and Jim Carrey all made it. Suddenly everyone knew who Jay Davis was and I just started doing comedy. You guys are the center of the universe of the comedy world in Los Angeles.
Managers come to all our shows at the back of the room.
They want to find the next Jim Carrey. But Mitzi Shore's not the only one with killer instincts when it comes to finding the next big thing. Ahmed and Davis picked and auditioned most of the 45 performers, both regulars and cameos, who would contribute to their burgeoning comedy empire. The guys have a definite idea what kind of comedians they'll let take the stage. Comics we don't like are guys who are like, 'Man, put me up,' Ahmed described.
