An excellent Trump impression, but a little too much of it. Read full review

Comedian Anthony Atamnuik stars as Trump, doing a pretty good imitation. Read full review

Considering the gimmick factor, The President Show looks to be a surprisingly robust, well-produced work with ambitions greater than scoring cheap hits. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Unfortunately, The President Show turns out to be mostly toothless satire, replete with broad, shticky comedy more suitable for the Borscht Belt than late-night television. Read full review

Ken Tucker

Slapdash and one-joke-silly, The President Show would not seem to have much of a future as an ongoing enterprise. Read full review

It's downright hilarious...the only reason the user score is low is because there's of course the ignorant scrotus followers that still blindly believe he's a good president and screech about their offended feelings.

This show makes me laugh so that i won't cry; it's wicked sharp and doesn't pull any punches where 45* and current topics are concerned. The impression is so good that's it's hard not to believe it's really 45* talking into the top of a lamp.

Funny. Really good impression. Like Ferrell's W or Carvey's H.W., the fictional version is much more likeble and funny than the real thing. It's got the makings of a great show.

So smart, so funny. Delightful field pieces. Can't wait to see where this show goes. I hope it turns into a permanent weekly fixture on Comedy Central. Atamaniuk's characterization is deep.

Surprisingly smart. This show portrays Trump almost sympathetically, exposing the underlying childlike vulnerability of a deeply flawed & disturbed man. This is a remarkable take on him - which I appreciate because it's not just poking fun nor is it necessarily mean-spirited. While certainlySurprisingly smart. This show portrays Trump almost sympathetically, exposing the underlying childlike vulnerability of a deeply flawed & disturbed man. This is a remarkable take on him - which I appreciate because it's not just poking fun nor is it necessarily mean-spirited. While certainly not flattering, it does illuminate a severely impaired & limited man, rather than a villainous Hitler-type character.

The physical embodiment is also well done, particularly the way Trump is always pitched forward - a great capture.

The best Trump impersonation I've seen, with moments of genius.

I highly recommend watching through episode 3 before making a judgment on this show.… Expand

Possibly the best on point trump impression out there. To be honest I didn't have high expectations going in because I immediately suspecting bandwagon riding, but after watching it I have to say that I think it delivers a genuinely funny and considered original point of view.

This is exactly what the world needs. Another blatantly unfunny show on Comedy Central ripping on the current administration and conservatism in general. How fresh and new... Anyone who likes this show is a deranged teenager with no life experiences and understanding of reality.
