Anybody catch this show last night on the WB? I stumbled upon it, and actually found some of it very funny. His white rapper schtick was funny, as well as the jaw-wired executive.

I found this show after it turned out TV Guide was wrong about there being a new Simpsons this week.

A pretty good candid-camera type show, but they need to turn the volume down (preferably off) on the laugh track. Half the time it drowns out the dialogue. The white rapper sequence was particularly hard to understand.

The best sequence was the infomericial. I loved it when he started offering $20 for people to give "testimonials" on a product that they'd just seen blow up in a guy's face. That one woman really got into it!

Kennedy does a good job creating characters, but the show won't have much staying power as people start to recognize him. I wonder how many skits they had to scrap already because somebody said "Hey...you're that Scream guy!"

I thought it was pretty good. Unfortunately the time slot will probably kill it. I wouldn't have watched it except Simpsons was a rerun that I didn't care if i saw again. The show was replayed again later at night but it was at the same time as Oz.

I also liked it. The infomerical was hilarious. I cannot believe people thought that hairpiece was real...haha ... it's in a tough time-slot opposite the Simpson. I saw it when they rebroadcasted it during X-Files.
Regarding the recognition issue, Tom Green used to say that he would do stunts on old people because they don't watch MTV ... besides, ragging on old people is sometime very funny.

I loved the episode last night. The mother in the rapper segment could barely stay at that table!

I wonder how long it will last....I tend to like intense shows like 24, then I need a laugh.

Three very good pranks. It was great watching the horrified faces of the mother and sister while he was doing his rapper shtick. A nice touch was having the girl tell them that she was dropping out of school to support him until his career took off. I wish they would've shown a little more of the payoff after the joke was revealed.
