Wow. What a disappointment. What a shame. As a fan of "Last Comic Standing" I was really looking forward to this. What a mistake that was.
We'll start with the cast. The host is Amanda Seales? I have no idea where she came from or how she got the job, but I do know she's not entertaining. Saying unfunny things, loudly - does not make them funny.
Then there's the "judges." Jeff Foxworthy has legit comic success. But its pretty obvious he's struggling to find humor with the contestants. Not his fault. I am too.
Then there's Chrissy Teigen, who is about as qualified to judge comedy as my dog. She's just slightly less talented. In her defense - my dog does know like 5 or 6 tricks, though never reached Chrissy's level of fame, despite being naked just as often.
And lastly - there's ol one-trick pony Keenan Thompson. Turns out, he's not just unfunny on ragged old SNL. He's just as bad here. And fairly ironical when he critiques contestants for repeating characters or sounds???? Really??? Is that Charles Barkley, Steve Harvey or Bill Cosby talking? Cause I can't tell any of his "characters" apart.
Despite the poor choices of the shows "talent" - the show could've worked if the contestants were any good. How were these folks picked? Was there an audition? Who screened them? Two episodes in and I've yet to crack a smile. Except during this one commercial break that was fairly witty.
I'd have to think this show will be cancelled quick. I've had funnier times getting a root canal. At least my dentist gave me nitrous.
