I love everything except the editing

I really think this show is funny, enjoy most of the comedians they get on and am okay with the knowledge that it's a scripted show that is presented as improv...
but that editing tho :(.

It's almost jarring at times and really stops this show from being great. It wasn't quite as noticeable to me during the first season, but this season is really bad. The jumping between one shot to another (obviously much later) shot is a joke killing distraction. I hope Comedy Central pours some more money into this show so they can hire a decent film editor because I really do enjoy the premise and comedians and that hot little Chris Hardwick with his perfectly gelled hair.

It can be quite distracting when someone tells a joke and then they cut to nobody laughing. The editing is less noticeable in the uncensored and extended versions they put on the website where they've left more stuff in, I wish they did that for more episodes.
