What does the "Looking for..." mean here?

0In the "Friends" TV show, 1-1:02br
00Chandler says: "The problem is, though, after the concert's over, no matter how great the show was, you girls are always [looking for] the comedian again, y'know? I mean, we're in the car, we're fighting traffic... basically just trying to stay awake. "02br
00What does the 'looking for' here mean? Does it mean "Search for" or "Expect"?02br
00Does the "[looking for] the comedian again" mean (1)the girls want to search for the same show again? 02br
00or (2) he means their girlfriends wanna watch the traffic fighting and think it is funny?02br
00If it's the case (2), what about using 'looking for [some] comedian again' instead of the "looking for [the] comedian again"?02br
00Thanks in advance! 0-
