The President Show

I used to think Alec Baldwin was the quintessential Donald, but Anthony Atamanuik is even better. He's captured Donald's nuances and his non verbal behavior. Its all farce, so no one should take offense.

Initially I wasn't sure how long they can keep the laughs going with an Oval Office format, but they have been able to expand the format and the guest appearances from real Trump critics are brilliant.

I'm also impressed with how up-to-date these sketches are.

Strangely enough, when I watch Trump now I see Atamanuik, so if you are a big Trump supporter, you might want to avoid watching this.

I didn't have high hopes for this. I figured it would be redundant and also lack content. However, there always seems to be new and fresh material every week to create satire over. Like most shows, each episode gets a little better. The impersonation of trump is the best around at the moment. His fan base may not appreciate the show, but all presidents, regardless of party affiliation, has a little fun poked at them. I am surprised that they are able to get guests on the show from the Republican party, yet the banter is good.

I like how all the reviews are either 10 stars or 1 star, really gives you the impression on how this about being pro Trump or anti Trump. Objectively, this show is really pushing the anti-trump sentiment to the extreme, while the lead actor does a near perfect impression of Trump (too stereotypical maybe, but hè that's part of the joke and i like that usually), but that's the only thing i like about it. The jokes are really trying too hard to be funny: -Pence forgot how to sing happy birthday- -Trump cries like a baby and pops his balloons- Like really?? that's how low comedy has gone? Here's the thing, the script isn't even that poorly written but the execution is too damn forced, "like lets make Trump look as bad as possible than people will love it!" Here in the Netherlands everyone seems to hop on this Trump hate circlejerk as well but quite frankly i'm tired of it. Get this American crap off the Dutch cable (comedy central) and might ass well get the Daily show off too, since John Steward left the show is mediocre at best.

Nearly as good as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in content (which I rate a 10), but, because spends more time on news/comedy and less on interviews and music, may even surpass it now. The one interview that the President Show does is actually funny and sometimes worth watching, unlike Colbert's, as it shows Trump's reactions. It seems that Comedy Central has ordered more than 10 episodes now, but will we have to wait until the next season or will they pop them out daily like Colbert or even weekly or at least a decent 20 a year?

As the star and creator, Atamanuik, said, ""I'm so grateful that Comedy Central has decided to end its tenure as a cable network by renewing The President Show." As you can see, this is Comedy Central's first majorly successful foray into web-based episode releases, with their releasing much of the episodes for free on YouTube ( search there for "The President Show" "Comedy Central" ), as well as over 400% more digital views than any other Comedy Central premier.

Also, you can watch the most recent episodes (with the exception of the E10 - the latest for now) on Comedy Central's site ( www.cc.com/shows/the-president-show/full-episodes ) or all available on YouTube ( search there for: "The President Show" Season Episode) )

I wonder what's going to happen when Trump leaves office? If Trump gets impeached, will the star, Anthony Atamanuik, still play Trump around the halls of the White House commenting and tweeting in this show, or play Mike Pence instead? I see potential for this shower to cover many presidencies, hence the more general purpose name "The President Show" instead of the "The Trump Show." However, if the president is a woman and/or a different ethnicity than what will the star/creator do?

Anthony Atamanuik is a talent to behold. His impersonation is unlike any other and really digs into Trump's soul: a twisted, sad little boy. The President Show is hilarious, brilliantly written and executed and exactly what we need during these dark times. Many have said Trump is so absurd that it's hard to parody him but Atamanuik shows us that's not true. So glad that he has taken his character to the screen, where it belongs for the world to see. Anthony is a genius.
