“This is an alright show, but some of the stuff seems gimmicky.
I would prefer a studio format with intermittent live shows. The audio has a slight echo, and the audience laughter takes away from the content.
The "live fact checker" is totally unnecessary. By using a studio format, there would be no need for the constant checking on tape, because they could fact check the emails beforehand.
The comedian as a panelist seems token and unfair. Instead of making mediocre jokes next to professionals, they should be able to prepare good jokes (like they would in a studio show). The other panelists seem annoyed with the jokes, and I am as well.
The finale made me cringe. Instead of giving interesting facts, the panelists give obvious facts (solved by preparation in a studio environment).
I'll listen for a couple more episodes, but it's frustrating to listen to all of the filler. The concept is cool, but the execution is awful.”Read full review »
