With even bigger talk about finding the Holy Grail (the “pee tape” that so animates the president’s enemies), Arnold’s haphazard methods can come across as somewhat pathetic. But he more than makes up for it with a wild expression of patriotic determination. Read full review

It does what few others in Hollywood or the TV industry have: it demands accountability from “The Apprentice” producer Mark Burnett. ... [But] Arnold’s futile endeavor is the true gag. Read full review

Arnold’s can’t-stop-getting-into-political-arguments-with-strangers-on-Facebook energy goes a long way in The Hunt for the Trump Tapes, particularly when he injects some self-aware humor about his status as a has-been. ... When it comes to the purported point of the show, though, Arnold fails to deliver, at least on opening night. Read full review

To call Hunt a nothingburger is inadequate. So far, it’s more of a nothingbuffet. ... Hunt is at least half a comedy, sending up its star’s manic obsession and D-list status. It’s good that he has a sense of humor about himself, but after a while this plays like a joke on anyone in the audience who earnestly pinned their hopes on him. Read full review

The whole point of Arnold’s quest--to unearth more footage of Trump saying horrific, potentially damaging, things--seems a little, well, overdone. Read full review

I can nod enthusiastically with Tom Arnold's non-stop indignation, but if his new show was meant to educate me or amuse me, it failed. Read full review

Arnold’s show is an unpleasant wade through widely-known and speculated-about Trump ephemera, adding little in its first two episodes but the re-emergence of a personality whose frantic need to be in front of the camera makes for painful viewing. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of those annoying shows where they never actually find what they are looking for...

I gave it a 2 because the presenter is really funny. Really good show to have on in the background.… Expand
