When did Comedy stop being funny?

Last night I decided to check out one of the latest shows to air on Comedy Central. Little did I know that that would be a big mistake, resulting in me quickly changing the channel. Sports Show with Norm MacDonald was on, and me being too lazy to switch the channel, decided to watch a few minutes of it. Now understand that I am not a big sports fan, but even I could tell that there would be funnier commentary's on ESPN. I have always wondered what people saw in Norm, to me I see a serious lack of professionalism and a lack of a funny bone. During the painful 5 minutes that I decided to endure this program, about 1 minute of it was composed of Norm trying his best not to laugh at his own unfunny jokes. If you want to seem funny by laughing at your own jokes, stay on SNL. So far that is the only place where you have seemed remotely funny, and saying that is a big stretch as is. I do recall wondering, when Norm was roasting Bob Saget, asking myself if his style of comedy was to try to be as unfunny as he can be. All in all I cannot find anything funny about the program Sports Show, and would find it hard to believe if it would be picked up for another season. The only way it could be, in my opinion, is to replace the host with an actual comedian. 

Until something funny graces my screen,
