Producers of the fourth season of the popular stand-up comedy competition Bill Bellamy's Who’s Got Jokes chose to film on location here in Las Vegas. A capacity crowd packed a ballroom at the Luxor for the 24 contestants from all over the United States who traveled here to compete.

These are the hottest rising comics in America, and host Bill Bellamy welcomed guest celebrity judges rapper Ray J, actress Wendy Raquel Robinson and Terry Vaughan -- and even Fantasy’s gorgeous topless adult cabaret dancers dropped in to add some spice over the five-day shoot.

The comics won a nationwide talent search in order to compete, and even though they were in Sin City, their biggest challenge was to keep the material clean.

Our contributing photographer Erik Kabik was on hand while TV One cameras taped the shows and captured these backstage candids.

It will be a while before the shows air, and at the end of the weekly series, we learn who is the ultimate winner. That comic not only gets the title, but also his or her very own comedy special on TV One!
