Good Show but Comedians Did Not Get Credit

It's always sad when comedians are not valued and Producers assume that they can get away with not giving them IMDb credits and/or residuals. When I initially viewed this page, there were only 3 credits listed (Lewis Black, J. Chris Newberg and John Pinette) so I ADDED 30 CREDITS!!! There were a few credits that I couldn't add because the end credits were cut off of my recording but I did get most. Hopefully, by the time you read this review, the credits of the 30 comedians who were cheated will be visible. I don't get paid to give comedians IMDb credits but I respect comedians and will help them out when I can.

About the show, it was entertaining and definitely worth watching. Perhaps I have given the Producers a wake-up call here. I can only hope. I was going to purchase the video but I know that the comedians who performed won't receive anything so, therefore, I won't. It's akin to boycotting Wal-Mart for selling products made in sweat shops.
