Store regulars, Comedy Central comics and virtual unknowns will match wits to see who has the comic chops worthy of a coveted spot on the best late night show on TV.&nbsp;   Before his big &ldquo;audition,&rdquo; Youssef spoke with TheSunsetStrip.com about his &ldquo;first time,&rdquo; heckler etiquette and the Ricky Gervais controversy.&nbsp; &nbsp; Can you recall your first time on stage performing stand-up?&nbsp; How&rsquo;d it go? Unfortunately, yes. It was in the Annex Room at the Pasadena Ice House. I did about seven minutes and bombed miserably. Just as I was thinking that maybe it wasn&rsquo;t so bad, a woman approached me with a big smile on her face. I got a little excited. She extended her hand, smiled and said, &ldquo;You were terrible.&rdquo; &nbsp;"}
