Thank God You're Here

Premieres tonight on NBC (8P and 9P). Looks pretty funny for an Improv/Who's Line type show. Got the DVR rolling.

Kids & I really enjoyed it.

That was pretty funny

definately DID NOT agree with the judge guy. He gave it to the 2nd worst person in the 1st hour, and THE worst in the 2nd hour.



Newman and the guy in the mummy scene were the best

I didn't laugh more than once in both episodes combined... i can't figure out what the audience was watching because I didn't see the humor in it

I thought the tall guy (who played the archeologist and the big eared super hero) and the Malcom in the Middle dad were pretty funny, but newman and Stifflers mom were bad, very bad.

In the second hour I thought Kevin Nealon was a riot.

 

[Russ Smith]

Was David Allan Grier's hair only white in the first show because he was in the last skit? I couldn't get over how much older he looked but in the 2nd one his hair was dark again.

I fell asleep in the 2nd one, I laughed in the first one but my girlfriend liked it much more than I did. I thought the Talk Soup guy was pretty bad as was Stifflers mom.

Has potential to be funny but not much longevity I bet.

I'd like to see the Who's Line Is It Anyway regulars do it. I'd bet they'd kill.

They did it on many episodes of Who's Line. I assumed this show was based off of their regular skit...

One of them was told which superhero they were and what crisis the world was facing, and then they had to come up with a superhero name for the next 3 people who joined the skit. They always said "Thank God you're here..." before coming up with an absurd name like "Potato-peeling boy." Together they'd find some way that all of their absurd powers would fix the crisis.

But the premise of this one is slightly different.

Only one actor isn't in on the scenario--they're just dropped right into a set with other actors with costumes and props who have a loose agenda for the skit. It's a little more "guided" than 4 guys just going off of a couple words on a card.

The show was horrible, I didn't laugh once.
C and D list comedians who are thankful just to have a gig.
NBC should be ashamed of themselves.
