There are two types of ways you can show recent comments on your sidebar. The first method is to shown last N comments.

<MTComments lastn="5" sort_order="descend">
<MTCommentEntry>
[<a href="<MTEntryLink archive_type="Individual">#c<$MTCommentID$>" title="Comment Permalink">#</a>]
</MTCommentEntry> <$MTCommentAuthorLink spam_protect="1" show_email="0"$> <MTCommentAuthorIdentity>: <MTCommentBody convert_breaks="0" trim_to="50" remove_html="1">
<MTCommentEntry>
[<a href="<MTEntryLink archive_type="Individual">" title="<MTEntryTitle>">entry</a>]
</MTCommentEntry><br /><br />
</MTComments>

The second method is to show last N commented on entries - this would be something like recent discussions showing what people are talking about on your blog.

<MTEntries recently_commented_on="5">
<MTComments sort_order="descend" lastn="1">
[<MTCommentEntry><a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>#c<$MTCommentID$>"></MTCommentEntry>#</a>] <$MTCommentAuthorLink spam_protect="1" show_email="0"$> <MTCommentAuthorIdentity> on <MTCommentEntry><a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>"><$MTEntryTitle$></a></MTCommentEntry>: <$MTCommentBody remove_html="1" trim_to="50"$><br /><br /> </MTComments> </MTEntries>
