I was just reading his wiki page. The dude graduated from Yale and spent 3 years at NYU Law before dropping out to pursure comedy.
I especially like his percentage breakdown of people who drive Hummers.

I liked his Daily Show segments enough that I will give his own show a chance.
I knew he is very smart but Yale/NYU Law is impressive.

Funny. Not overly funny, though.

I liked it enough to tune in again. It lost it after the second commercial break.

Yeah, 'twas ok. I'll watch again, but more because I know that HE is funny than because this first episode was all that funny.

I was flipping around and caught the musical performance at the end. He's banging a tambourine attached to his ankle, playing guitar, blowing into a harmonica, and stepping on toy bells and I just see him turn the page and it reads "By the way, I am not an idiot." That was great.

Last night he had a joke on the Jazz.

It was that he really liked watching sports but he now thinks it would be cooler if the nicknames were in the game.

Colts versus Bears, Awesome.

Wizards versus Heat, Awesome.

Magic versus Jazz, I'm not that gay.

Actually I wouldn't want to see the Jazz in anything.

this show may be the worst, most unfunny shit on tv today. this guy is a fucking moron, and his whole act is unfunny and stupid. this shit show is even worse than the horseshit that was the sarah silverman show.

we can all thank dave chapelle for these bottom of the barrell copy cat shows

I have to disagree. This show is far from great, but it's not horrible. It's pretty funny at times. And yes, it benefits from the earlier success/awesomeness of Chappelle's Show, but it's much better than most, if not all, of the other Chappelle-like shows. I don't think it's stupid at all, but I understand if you find it unfunny.

I think this show is really great. Seriously, it's one of my favorites. It's just a fun half hour comedy show that doesn't take itself too seriously. Maybe I just really like this type of comedy but I find myself laughing a lot during every show.
