I thought it was funny. The blind-white supremacist skit carried on a bit long, but the show itself was pretty good. What do you think? ---

The mitsubishi commercial spoof was funny, and the popcopy was good. The other ones were pretty dumb, especially the black white supremacist, which carried on way too long for the joke. Although the guy’s head exploding was funny. Overall, I wasn’t that impressed, but I’ll probably watch it again next week. ---

I liked it but thought it seemed a little like they were having trouble stretching out the material to fit the time. I thought the black white supremacist skit was pretty funny though. But, like the other skits I think it would have been even funnier if it was a little tighter with the jokes coming faster. ---

Watched it…Loved it… The head exploding was great! Loved the out-take of the black booty shaker’s boob popping out! The look on Dave’s face was priceless. I will watch again. ---

“C’mon Titty! C’mon Titty!” It was pretty good for a first time show. The Mitsubishi thing was great, the White Supremist (sp?) had a good premise, and the PopCopy thing was a bit cliched… I think they could’ve been far funnier than they were with that sketch.\* \*Says the guy who doesn’t have to do that for a living. 😉 ---

I thought it was pretty strong for a first show. Let’s hope he can keep it up. ---

Ok, I missed it last night (couldn’t remain awake until 10:30pm). Will Comedy Central air it again this week? ---

If I know CC I’m fairly sure they will re-run it, probably on the weekend, but it’ll likely be on even later than 10:30. I didn’t see much of the show, but what I saw was good. But let’s be honest here, we all know this show’s doomed, regardless of how funny it is. ---

Shoot, I missed it too. I find him to be hilarious in standup, so I wish him well in this. ---

I really liked th white supremacist thing. I didn’t think it dragged at all…the timing was perfect for mocking those 20/20 expose type dealies. Good stuff. ---

I didn’t find it fabulous, but I love Dave Chapelle. I’ll definitely give it a few more tries. ---

Will Comedy Central air it again this week? \*\* You mean the same Comedy Central who has shown every Cheech And Chong Movie 100 times in the last six months? The same CC that could easily be renamed “The SNL” channel? I’m thinking there is a possibility that they will re-air the show… ---

fantastic, i loved the car commercial, and the Popcopies sketch was full of stuff i’ve always wanted to do to customers (and some i did) when i worked retail. ---

I liked it. The black white-supremicist was a hoot! Definetly don’t want the kid overhearing it however. 😉 Funniest line: “Did he just call us ‘Niggers’? All-right!” ---

Heh…staying late during the weekends is not a problem. 🙂
