Comments
i have seen clips of the show i must say that lilly is pure electric and knows how to
draft in an audience but the set lets it down that looked very cheap to say for an
multi million dollar network like nbc could have better set design instead it
comes from an low budget review show on cable access tv from the 90’s
and her costume choices needs improvement and some channels over
on youtube thought that the audience laughter was forced everytime
she delivers an monologue the kind of forced laughter you see on
childrens sitcom shows like saved by the bell and wizards on waverly place
but the energie is top notch but the tropes that chat show hosts do has
being overdone to death nothing we haven’t seen about an thousands
times over by better chat show comedy hosts from the last 60 years
of chat show comedy but it’s not an new concept of an indian comic
hosting late night show has being done years before over here in the uk
with the likes of alexi sayle and sanjeev bashkar did during the 80- 90’s
decades with late night comedy store programes featuring upcoming
tallents that had beter colourful sets and an jampacked audience
but this was pure lazy .
