<P> The "in the house" concept was dropped for season 7, and each week consisted of all remaining comics performing in front of a theater audience and being voted on by the television viewers to determine who leaves and who remains . It was essentially identical to the "final five" format used previously . </P> <P> The 3rd season was also unique in that it pitted the contestants of the first two seasons against one another . </P> <P> Season one aired in the summer of 2003 and was hosted by Jay Mohr . The winner of the audience - participation final vote in season one was Dat Phan, with 35% of the vote . Other finalists included Ralphie May (28%), Rich Vos (18%), Cory Kahaney (12%), and Tess (7%). Contestants "in the house" who did not make the final five were Geoff Brown, Tere Joyce, Sean Kent, Dave Mordal, and Rob Cantrell . </P> <Table> Elimination Chart <Tr> <Th> Comics </Th> <Th_colspan="5"> Head - to - head </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Public Elimination </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Ep 4 </Th> <Th> Ep 5 </Th> <Th> Ep 6 </Th> <Th> Ep 7 </Th> <Th> Ep 8 </Th> <Th> Ep 10 </Th> <Th> Ep 11 </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Dat Phan </Th> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> SAFE </Td> <Td> WIN </Td> <Td> WIN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> LCS </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Ralphie May </Th> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> WIN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> OUT </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Rich Vos </Th> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> OUT </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Cory Kahaney </Th> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> WIN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> SAFE </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> OUT </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Tess </Th> <Td> SAFE </Td> <Td> SAFE </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> OUT </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Geoff Brown </Th> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> OUT </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Dave Mordal </Th> <Td> WIN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> OUT </Td> <Td_colspan="3"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Rob Cantrell </Th> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> OUT </Td> <Td_colspan="4"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Tere Joyce </Th> <Td> IN </Td> <Td> OUT </Td> <Td_colspan="5"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Sean Kent </Th> <Td> OUT </Td> <Td_colspan="6"> </Td> </Tr> </Table>
