The Nick and Jessica Variety Hour (I can't be the only one)

Yeah, I watched it. So what? :slight_smile:

Y’know, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be and I have to admit, I laughed more than once. But that was mostly at Jessica’s spastic hand movements during her singing. I’ve never seen anything like it! It was just so… weird.

And why was she trying so hard to sound like Jewel, anyway?

Oh well, they had Kit so it wasn’t a complete waste. :smiley:

Thoughts? Opinions? Really, I can’t possibly be the only one who saw it…

I’ve just been informed that it’s actually KITT. Whatever, I was like five when that show was cancelled.

I thought the Mouseketeer skit was funny…

and she reminds me of Joe Cocker, with all the facial and hand gestures.

Please tell me the Jessica/Jewel duet was a joke along the lines of John Belushi/ Joe Cocker? Please???

This show might be interesting to watch only because of the train-wreck aspect. It will be fun to tune in each week to see what jaw-droppingly awful skit or song Jessica will crank out.

Would it make sense if I made the following comment?

This show is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. However, it isn’t the worst I’ve ever seen.

Very very strange stuff is on t.v. :eek:

jk1245, I don’t think it was meant to be a joke. But I couldn’t believe Jewel kept a straight face.

I think Jewel was laughing pretty hard inside. You could see with the looks she gave Jessica during the song :smiley:

I liked the show and laughed a bit too, but what IS up with Jessica’s singing style? The way she moves her mouth, lips, and left hand is very strange. I’m thinking she overdoes it a bit. I wonder if she’ll be singing the same way next week?

Anyway it’s good entertainment and I was surprised by their pretty good acting skills. :slight_smile:

I meant to watch it and missed it.

So, Did any of my predictions come true?

I don’t think the Jessica/Jewel thing was a joke, but I think Jewel deserves a medal for not completely busting up halfway through. It took me awhile to realize it wasn’t supposed to be funny. Has Jessica ever really watched herself sing? She’s got a lovely voice when she isn’t warbling all over the place, but she’s just downright painful to actually watch.

And is this going to be a weekly thing? I thought it was just a special.

Would it have killed them to get William Daniels to do KITT’s voice? That ruined the only skit that even approached funny.

I didn’t see it, but might have tuned in if I had known it was on. I loved variety shows when I was growing up and often wish that they had them again. I don’t know if they can pull it off, but good luck to them.

I’m still not entirely convinced that it wasn’t. I mean, why else would she do that?!

From that other thread:

Yes, there was a joke about Jessica being dumb (the inner monologue thing), but it evolved into a Mr. T thing.

Nick did sing. And it was pretty bad.

I don’t remember other members of 98° being there. I don’t know who “Sister in law” is.

I’m another one who thought this was just a one-time deal. :confused:
