Iliza Shlesinger won the sixth season of Last Comic Standing, becoming the first female champion in the show’s history.
The funny woman won $250,000 and a talent contract with NBC, while also proving that humor is gender-neutral. She said as much in a conference call with reporters.
“I know that it registers with other people that I’m a female, but it has never registered with me in all the comedy I’ve done over the years. That’s never been an issue. I’ve never blamed it, I’d never use it as a crutch. I think to a lot of people it means a lot of different things. But for me, I’m just Iliza and I won. I’m a comedian that won. The female thing I can’t comment on because I just don’t feel that in my hear.”
Iliza Shlesinger is one funny lady.
