I just happened to have this on TV after the movie I was watching on DVD ended. Jeez. I can almost _feel_ it bombing. Hardly any laughs or claps from the audience. Understandable, as the jokes or the delivery weren’t very funny. Hughley had a few moments, but I don’t see him carrying this show into any kind of renewal. ---

I totally agree. I’ve tried watching the show a few times, and it was painful to watch. And what the hell is that show doing on CNN anyway? ---

I started a short-lived thread about this show last month. [Here is the thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=490889&highlight=hughley) I, too, can’t imagine the show gaining and maintaining a sizable viewership.
