Critic Reviews

Verne Gay

It's hilarious, really, and refreshing, and original and - absolutely - an acquired taste. Read full review

Mike Duffy

Feresten makes a rather engaging talk show host. Read full review

Doug Elfman

Scenes that work are funny... Scenes that fall flat are merely blah, rather than stupid. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

Feresten's not awful, and the show he has built around himself with video segments has a few laugh-out-loud moments. But he clearly needs to find his identity behind the desk. Read full review

David Hinckley

He's polite-looking and very likable - but aside from some quick ad libs during on-location segments, he doesn't get any chance to establish, much less assert, his personality. Read full review

Adam Buckman

As a talk-show host... he's a rank amateur who exhibits no discernible skills. Read full review

Virginia Heffernan

Spike Feresten keeps emphasizing how bad and cheap and lame his new weekly show is on tonight’s debut... He’s right. Read full review

I'm totally hooked. I didn't think it's possible, but the show's funnier than Conan. Long Live TALKSHOW!!!
