I am trying to strip out all things that are in a string that are not a letter number or space so I created the regex

private static Regex _NonAlphaChars = new Regex("[^[A-Za-z0-9 ]]", RegexOptions.Compiled);

however When I call _NonAlphaChars.Replace("Scott,", ""); it returns "Scott,"

What am I doing wrong that it is not matching the ,?
