I think if Season 7 had the judges of Season 8, then Tommy Johnagin would have won it all. I think it was because of this that Esparza won, because he certainly was not funny while appearing on the show and he most certainly was not funny enough to win it all. Greg Giraldo even admitted as such saying he was a huge fan of eventual Season 7 winner Felipe Esparza before the show began.
The judges of Season 7 were still on the stand up circuit while playing clubs in L.A. However, those judges were certainly not households names and were not remotely as famous as past and current guests like Roseanne Barr, Keenan Ivory Wayans, and Drew Carey. While I've heard of them, I'm also a stand up comedy nerd. The judges on Season 7 of Last Comic Standing were Greg Giraldo, Andy Kindler, & Natasha Leggero.
Plus, she deserves to be this high on this list solely because of this Aaron Sorkin parody from her show:

I actually don't think I've ever seen a full set on stage by Amy Schumer that I've enjoyed, and I don't think she's all that great of a stand up comedian, but she's just naturally funny and witty, that every interview or podcast she's ever been on has been nothing short of brilliant. On stage, Amy plays up the fact that she's pretty to look at while also making fun of the cultural norms placed on females, but I think her bread and butter is her natural personality.
I think it's crazy now to think that Amy Schumer was ever on Last Comic Standing considering she has a smart and funny television show on Comedy Central (Inside Amy Schumer), has an extremely successful stand up career, and is downright mean and hysterical during her stints on the Comedy Central Roasts, however, it all got started when she finished 4th during the fifth season of the NBC reality show.

Benson also produces and stars in documentaries that are parodies of Morgan Spurlock documentaries including "Super High Me" and "The Greatest Movie Ever Rolled" (both of which are currently streaming on Netflix). Since his time on the NBC reality show, Benson hosts a litany of podcasts including "Doug Loves Movies" (his best one), "Dining With Doug and Karen" and "Getting Doug With High". Benson eventually re-auditioned in a different city (this time with over-the-top more energy) and ended up making it to the Top 10. Doug Benson is the quintessential stoner one-line stand up comedian and that style normally works to his advantage considering how sharp and witty he is, but it actually worked to his disadvantage during the audition phase of the show, as he initially didn't even get selected to move on because he "didn't have enough energy" during his first audition. Doug Benson was already a decently well-established stand up comedian before doing Last Comic Standing thanks to his appearances on Vh1's "Best Week Ever" and doing the "Marijuana-Logues" on stage, but Benson credits his time on LCS that really propelled his career and gave him a new level of fame.
