It's been a reeeeeeeeeeally long time since I read the book, but this looks pretty different than what I remember.

Looks good, though.

I'm so late on this show, but I started watching a few episodes and realize (a) I still have a man crush on chris hardwick, and (b) there are some funny unknown people in the world.

But these guests have to have the jokes written for them as opposed to really making it all up on the spot, right?

It's a fun show, and yeah...there are some good finds as far as comedians to be had here. As far as the writing, I have to think most of them are given the premises to work on themselves, and there are writers to help...Isn't that how Hollywood Squares did it back in the day?

I will always be thankful for this show for introducing me to Nikki Glaser, Ron Funches, Jen Kirkman, Matt Braunger and... ****, there's lots.
 
Jim Jeffries I felt was holding back, but in a limited format. The new zealand guy from flight of the conchords is out of control!
 
Yeah, Rhys Darby is one of the better ones. Kyle Kinane, Doug Benson, Braunger, Kurt Braunholer, there are so many folks I am aware of now thanks to the show. Oh, Steve Agee too.
 
HULU has, Mr Pickles(Lassie meets Metalpocalypse on acid) The Eric Andre show(s1 &2). and Black Dynamite s2.

just sayin
 
Streaming: Hulu Ad-Free Service Announced; Support Ended for Older Rokus

Going ad-free will cost $12 a month versus the standard $8 fee and certain series — including ABC’s Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, Grey’s Anatomy, Once Upon a Time, Agents of Shield, the NBC series Grimm and Fox’s The New Girl — will contain what Variety calls “a 15-second preroll ad and followed by a 30-second post-roll ad.” Hulu CEO Mike Hopkins says these exceptions were unavoidable as those seven programs “have other commitments that they couldn’t free them up for a complete commercial-free offering.”

According to a statement, the company said, “Over time, our channel partners have also chosen to focus their development efforts on the latest generation of Roku streaming players.” They also cite hardware limitations of the older models as part of the move.
