I don't get the Chris Hardwick hate, I like him. He seems like a decent human being on earth comparable to others.

9thing that this show is actually loving really good sometimes Kyle Kinane was loving great.

Overexposure, I guess. As far as I'm concerned he's fine, especially because so far he knows when to take a step back and let the "contestants" go.

Also, seconding Norm McDonald. His style of humor would fit perfectly into a panel show like this.

We should make a distinction between Chris Hardwick the host and Chris Hardwick the media mogul. Nerdist has proven to be an outstanding internet-entertainment-network-blog-podcast thing (what do we call these? I need to brush up on my web 2.0 lingo). He's nothing special of a host (and the main Nerdist podcast is usually garbage) but he directly supports a lot of crazy talented people (some of whom would probably be homeless otherwise :v:).

I can't hate him.

If nothing else, he (and presumably Tom Lennon) know who to get to make this work, because it's been solid to amazing in terms of quality since its debut.

Exactly, and like the better of those podcasts it has a structure for them to riff off of.

Regarding Hardwick hate, his on air persona is obnoxious. He's like a bad radio morning DJ. Hardwick is someone who I want to avoid because he's so annoying in voice, mannerism, behavior, laughter, and jokes.

I noticed they were ignoring the buzzers this time which made for a better show. Maybe that's a temporary thing while they fix them properly.

They should switch the buzzers out for real bells, though I can't be sure it wouldn't break their budget at this point.

That was hands-down, the worst episode so far. I mean, when I saw David Spade on the lineup, I knew it was going to be bad but man, why couldn't he have faded into the editing background, like some of the panelists do?

That may have been my favorite episode ever. I think they should add a permanent fourth podium just so Brent Morin can be there and bitch about his answers every night. I thought he was great and I'd never heard of him before.

It had that perfect balance of funny answers/internet junk and the guests bullshitting that makes a great episode.

He sort of did. He's the first person to have his points taken from a live challenge and given to someone else. That's impressive!

This was a great episode. They seem to reliably get at least one "great" episode every couple weeks, with mostly good ones in between.

Did not expect Ice Cube to be that good. That was an excellent episode, but then I love any episode that delves into the stygian depths of the internet and pulls out fanart and fan fiction to show to the guests.

The most exciting thing about tonight's show (aside from Donnell's buzzer not working) was that I thought Moshe Kasher's name was Motion Capture.

Dunno, I thought that one of them actually having been to that strip club was interesting.

Other than that, pretty tame episode.

How the gently caress is Doug Benson 50 years old?

While normal humans require a mixture of roughly four parts N2 to one part O2; Doug Benson produces his own, unique, THC-rich atmosphere. This has an apparent chronal effect. Early studies show that any timepieces left in the vicinity of Doug Benson invariably stop at 4:20.
