Agee's costume makes everything a little funnier. I think it's the smudged makeup.

Hey, we're back tonight:

MONDAY 11-4: Jonah Ray, Ali Wong, Howard Kremer

TUESDAY 11-5: Iliza Shlesinger, Michael Che, Rhys Darby

WEDNESDAY 11-6: Jason Sklar, Randy Sklar, Ron Funches

THURSDAY 11-7: Paul F. Tompkins, Julie Klausner, Baron Vaughn

Not a lot of *names* this week aside from Paul F. Tompkins and the Sklar Brothers (I'm sure I'm not the only guy who remembers Cheap Seats), but apparently Judd Apatow is coming up next week, so yeah, holy poo poo.

The one guy made it pretty obvious that they probably get questions early. He kept looking down and reading off his notes.

Rhys Darby is Murray from "Flight of the Conchords". He's pretty god damned funny.

Wednesday should be pretty great. The Sklars are good times and Ron Funches has the voice of an angel.

Why are you posting this here on a comedy website instead of writing a scathing exposé for the Washington Post? Think of the Pulitzer you just lost yourself!

Pretty sure there's no Brits scheduled this week. Did you mean Rhys Darby? He's a Kiwi. I haven't seen the episode, but I'll be sad if he wasn't good since I really liked the Flight of the Conchords show.

All three of them were pretty bad this episode but I don't know on what planet he could be considered "tolerable."

That AMA segment must have been a real bomb, it only lasted like 20 seconds.

The show had been pretty solid so far, we were bound to hit a bad episode eventually.

The scores jumped around a lot between cuts. They must have cut a lot that wasn't funny. And what did make it wasn't that funny. First bad episode.

Wait, wait, wait, did you guys not get that Rhys Darby is doing a character? You might not think it's a funny character (I think it is), but he's really obviously doing a character.

He was pretty funny for not being a comedian. Pretty ballsy for a professional Adventurer to come on the show like that. Guy has moxy.

He was the only funny bit. The other two people were disappointing.

I enjoyed how annoyed Michael Che looked when it became obvious that Rhys Darby was intent on bombing the whole show. He did have a nice one with DMX-Lax though.

Steven doesn't want me watching him sleep anymore.
Man, this show is so much better than Tosh. It's not the best thing ever, but it's fun enough that if I accidentally leave on Comedy Central late at night I've got good odds at getting entertained. Pretty decent comedian line-up on the couple episodes I've seen so far; I'm a big Kumail fan, Natasha Legerro's pretty funny, and whoever Steve Agee is he's pretty good too.

Does this show basically draw from whatever that stand-up scene is that the nerdist podcast guys all seem to inhabit? I'm not against a showcase for offbeat unpopular comics.

You mean the LA comedy scene? Yeah. Same scene nearly every other podcast draws from, so this is basically "Your Favorite Podcast Guests (And Howard Kremer): The TV Show". It's pretty cool.

It'd be pretty neat if they had more people doing the show in character. I'm thinking specifically of James Adomian's Jesse Ventura, but Paul F Tompkins could basically fill a show once a week if they went that route, though they should probably dole it out more sparingly than that.


Adomian absolutely destroys here:

Well it had to be either that or he had a mental disability, but no, I didn't think it was funny at all.

Yeah, "playing a character" doesn't really brush off the criticism if someone doesn't find him funny. He's still making a conscious effort to play that character as the joke. He actually got a pretty good chuckle out of me with his "I've been following Katy Perry for a week now" line, but the rest was just irritating. What made it really bad was just how overpowering he was, or maybe how underpowering(?) the other two were in comparison? It really wore out his schtick pretty fast for me.
