Absolute garbage! Where is the comedy? Where is the game-show portion?This has got to be the worst show on TV right now.How drunk or high does one have to be to A: be in this 'game show'. B: come up with stupid answers that are not funny. C: be able to score said stupid answers.Some reviewers said it's good exposure for the comedians... no it's not! It makes them look dumb, not funny, and most of all desperate.This is the show you get on when you've reached the bottom of the barrel!Had it been a panel where they just sit down and come up with stupid comments, it would be entertaining! But to add a nonsense scorekeeper to responses that no one has any clue how they are scored, is just plain stupid! Sure, it's not a real game, OK, so then it's not damn funny either, it's stupid! WOW, the crap that networks fund is astonishing.

I read the reviews of the people who hated this show and they all have a common thread, they all loved Tosh.0 . I am not going to disparage their opinions, they are entitled to have them heard, but I wanted to clarify why the rest of the viewing audience should tune in. The host, Chris's delivery is stellar. His comedic communication and ability to actually relate to the viewer is a skill set that is rarely seen on television. As far as the Internet being the source for riffing, it works well, it provides a constantly changing source of information to joke about which keeps the show fresh. This format also provides a platform for comedians, writers and actors to actually have fun, and it shows, the energy is infectious. Finally, after a crappy day of work and a crappier day of ingesting bilious news, this program provides a nice grounding base and a way to laugh before bed, which is priceless. Will there be the occasional show that misses? Of course, but those shows are still better than anything else on television.

Stephen Colbert is 1000000 times better because he is not a racist. He has spoken in a positive way of Mexicans. I enjoy going to see new TV shows live. There was a few times I went and racist jokes where said by the guest stars. I found that extremely offensive. The last time I went I was the first one there and they picked out white people before me. I was like whatever. I figured it was since I'm not white. They must think only white people own a TV. Lol If you're of color just change the channel. In that way it can get taken off the air for low ratings. Maybe they will hire Mexican production. As far as I could see the crew and production was white. Watch something else. This show is hell a lame For being racist. Colbert is far superior.

So I watched through 3 episodes to give this new show a chance. I didn't laugh a single time. On the contrary, many "jokes" were so painful to hear, they made me face-palm intensively; no audience of decent level would dignify them with even a smirk. Worse, a large part of the episodes is filled with the sound of Chris Hardwicks or his guests' annoying laughter. I can't believe that people compare it to Tosh.0, a show (which I find hilarious) that is far, far above @midnight in terms of originality, presentation, punchline bringing, dryness, video content etc.Just as there is "English" humor (Rowan Atkinson for example), there is also "American" humor. Maybe @midnight is just a part of American humor I cannot appreciate or understand, but I find it's content downright thoughtless, witless and annoying.
