I am a big fan of John Mulaney and couldn't wait to watch the first episode last night.
Once the show started, my excitement never went up. I hope they got honest reviews from their test audience because this show wasn't funny nor was it entertaining.
Even with quality guests, Michael Keaton, Joan Baez, Fred Armisen the show never picked up the pace.
The monologue bombed, the phone segment was terrible, and even Michael Keaton, Fred Armisen and cameo guest Tracy Morgan couldn't generate even a single laugh. I was bored after the phone call segment and lost interest after that. I don't know who was responsible for writing or producing his but they need to be replaced. It is a boring concept and needs to be different than the other talk shows as John Mulaney's brand of humor doesn't seem to fit with the format, clearly doesn't relate to the guests, or even resonate with the viewers.
If I was a producer I wouldn't have added my name to the credits because I would be embarrassed if I had anything to do with the show. If they don't revamp this show it won't make it past one season, even on Netflix. They did green light Meghan Markle's show so there is a chance it may be renewed, but if it bombs like this again it will be cancelled for sure.
I'll still give it another chance but if they have another episode as bad as the first one, I won't watch it again.

I wasted 2 hours of my life on this trash? How is this rated any higher than 2 or 3? It had good reviews and cast, but the story sucked and there was no closure of any kind. Failure to launch: It never got going and the whole time I thought I missed something, or maybe there was going to be a big reveal at some point. Failure to develop: The only thing I understood right away was Jude Law was nuveau riche and trying to hard to be someone he clearly was not. Failure to close: this movie should have cut out 45 minutes and used that time to come up with a better story line and lead to some sort of conclusion.
Don't wast your time.
