  • Love the show as always!!

    I think Jared is doing an amaaaaazing job hosting while Jordana is out on leave (we miss you Jordana!)

    The Matteo Lane episode was especially good I thought. Keep it up Jared (& we can’t wait to see you back Jordana!!)

  • Interruption Fest

    Love this show but the interrupting since Jordan’s left has been insane. Please let people finish a thought. The episode with Sami was the worst they interrupted each other the entire time. Please take the note so it doesn’t thing the show because I love it!!

  • In response to rough start review

    Jared got a taste of his own medicine with Sami. The two constantly interrupted each other throughout the entire episode. It felt like getting stuck on a call with two managers who can’t agree and spiral until someone eventually says, “Let’s take this offline.”

But just the first few minutes of the latest episode with Sami just turned me off. She comes in so hot playing fake therapist on Jared about his being too involved with his family and their opinions of him. I felt so bad for Jared in that moment because not only is that story line part of his comedy and livelihoo... more
