    The end result was often a lot of bombast and noise but not too many laughs. Maya and Marty, in many ways, is a ham sandwich with an extra helping of ham.

    Maya & Marty feels like reheated leftovers rather than something that could demand popular attention every week.

Give it an honest shot, you might be pleasantly surprised.… Full Review »

Not quite "The Best Time Ever" bad and not quite the worst variety show ever but holy crap this is bad. Not sure why NBC continues to show faith in variety shows since no one under 50 has any interest but the grandma and grandpa crowd might be entertained.

Which is terribly disappointing because for me, Maya Rudolph on Saturday Night Live was the comedic goddess!

    If you want to know the truth, she and Marty don't have a lick of chemistry.    … Full Review »
