Nope, not a fan of this man's show. There is nothing different about this, I've seen it all before, he borrows from EVERYBODY who came before him. Yawn.

I watched last week's installment and this weeks installment with Tom Greene. Boy, this show is reliant upon old variety show jokes which I think this guy honestly believes he's created.

Okay.....sure, comedy IS making fun of people - if you do it right. So far, no go. No, he's no Conan O'Brien and as a "writer" on the David Letterman show, I have to guess he was an "editor" of other's writing that had to go through him, and is taking the position that the work was his. I can tell from this show that the talk show writing talent is still there on the David Letterman staff.

But all is NOT lost. Talk show is just not this guys' thing. I want to see his film. I've got a feeling...just a feeling...that may be his better comedy nitche.

I second the vote. Terrible, not funny, and Feresten has no personality. This guy wrote Seinfeld? Hard to believe.

What show were you watching?

The Spike show is awesome. You're probably one of those guys that loves "Designing Women" or something.

I love the show; I just wish it was longer.

There's nothing wrong with "Designing Women," but the Spike show is MUCH funnier. It's much funnier than any late night show on the air. I adore it.

Some of the funniest stuff I've seen in a LONG time.

Thats funny just that you say spike's show is funnier than the others when fox decided to put him on only once a week. Even on that on day he has to shine he mimics all the other talk show hosts before him, good or bad. Conan, Letterman, Ferguson, and Leno have 5 nights a week and they maintain there comedic performances with different styles. So i also vote to get this wnnabe off the air and put someone whos funnier on in his place.

It hasn't been very good but give it a chance, it took Daily Show a while to get good too.

You can vote for cancellation of this show if you want. Of course, you won't find it on any ballot anywhere, but you can just not watch it and that is the only voting mechanism you can uchoose.

However I like this show and I will be watching.

I like this show. Now not every show and or skit is a home run, but many have been very funny. There are similarities to other talk shows but there are also differences. I think as time goes on, if given the chance, he will find his niche and the shows will be consistently funny. I love the Rick Richards skits and the ones with the old lady. I'd rather watch this much more than Jay or Conan and definitely more than Jimmy and Craig. The great thing about television is they don't have to cancel this show just because you don't like it. You can change the channel and not watch it.
