Apr 22, 2015This show is terrible. Larry's lazy, half-hearted, sometimes almost-monotone delivery; his inability to say anything original or even moderately funny. Very awkward to watch. I really wanted to like the show, but I didn't laugh even once.

Apr 15, 2015I tried to watch this, but can't, it's to awful. The show is not nearly as funny as Colbert was. With Stewart now leaving, Comedy Central is in big trouble.

Apr 15, 2015I was really looking forward to this show when Colbert left... I thought it would be smart and funny and entertaining. Everybody said the same thing from the first episode its a "Real Time with Bill Mahr" Show except its half an hour and its Larry Wilmore... And I think comedy central is making the same mistake with the successor of Jon Stewart on The Daily show... Very sad days to come...

Apr 9, 2015Boring Boring Boring. Some are meant to lead...some to come on and do a 2 minute spot. Larry...this is not your first best destiny. Quit before Comedy Central cancels you so you save some dignity.

Apr 1, 2015I had hopes this would be good, but it is an awful show. This show does not compare to the Colbert report. . I am not sure it will last well i hope it doesn't so something else will be presented.

Mar 26, 2015I watched one of his shows and was baffled. I'm not sure if people are capable of realizing it because he is black himself but this is another racist show on comedy central. Racist like Key and Peel but not funny like Key and Peel. Zero.

Mar 21, 2015I wanted to like this show and keep on tuning in in hopes it turns around, but the show is simply not funny and does not work on multiple levels. The show has fundamental issues (Larry makes a poor host for one) and I dont see it lasting too long.

Mar 10, 2015Not sure what people were expecting. Yes the format is different from Colbert, but give the guy a break, I think a lot of the people who gave this show 1-3 are just plain racists. I like the kinds of topics that he explores and I like the panels. In terms of how funny he is I give him a 7 or an 8, I like to think of his program more as funny news show than the other way around.
-
Mar 10, 2015I DVR so as to not miss a single show. After week one I wondered if he could carry it on, but Wilmore has remarkable knowledge and timing. Part of the format is like Maher but it suits me better because there is more respect for alternative perspectives; truth speaks for itself.

Mar 8, 2015I really enjoy this show. He brings in a lot of diverse perspectives on controversial topics, and the result is something fun, easy to watch, and thought-provoking. He'll need a little time to work some of the kinks out, and I can help but wish the panel discussions were allotted more time.

Mar 6, 2015Love this show. Wilmore has one of the liveliest and best panel discussions going. He is an excellent moderator. Really recommend the show and look forward to seeing how Wilmore develops the show over time.

Mar 5, 2015I really wanted to like this show but honestly it is just really bad. I haven't laughed at all and I have watched about 10 episodes. It really makes me miss colbert
-
Mar 5, 2015It's unfunny. I love every show on comedy central and this is by far the biggest drag of a show on CC. Wilmore is just awkward and unemotional. Hopefully he gets settled in and becomes more comfortable.
-
Mar 4, 2015This is not a very objective observation but opinions are not objective: I just don't like the guy. There's something arrogant, snarky and sort of lazy about him. Plus to me, he plays the race card a little much, it gets old quick. as if he thinks it makes him hip or cool. They should have given the show to Wyatt Cenac, Jason Jones, Samantha Bee, Assiv Manvi, or anyone else but this guy!

Mar 1, 2015Wilmore has some gigantic shows to fill. Thankfully he's not trying to mimic the Colbert Report which would be impossible. Instead he's providing a funny and provocative panel show. Still don't know if he's witty enough to carry a nightly show (no pun intended) but I must admit, it's interesting and topical.

Like Stewart, Wilmore is good at using jokes to cut down overblown public figures, and he isn’t afraid to be self-deprecating. His opening monologue is typically the best part of the show.... The shakiest part of the show during its first week has been the middle panel-discussion segment, which features a mix of comedians and political commentators talking about the episode’s topic.
-
It's still a little clunky, particularly in terms of editing, and it feels as if all involved are figuring out the right ratio of jokes to information. Yet there's a lot to recommend here.

Wilmore had a few bugs in his performance on opening night: He was a little too giggly, and a few times he spokesofast it turned his lines into what-did-he-say? mush. That said, his clear excitement for this opportunity was endearing.
