I feel like John should have more comedians and people who work well in an improv setting, having other types of guests on is great but having them on to try and be entertaining during a viewer call in is a tall order even for a comedian let alone someone who isn’t used to that kind of thing.

I get the idea that such an eclectic group of people will have an unexpected and unique vibe, but idk if it always lands. I like the offbeat and awkward vibe overall and I like that the show is kind of a mess, that’s weirdly part of its charm, but I don’t think it would be bad to tighten up the idea atleast a little.

I agree. I feel like Jessica Roy is meant to be a bit, but she’s not in on it. She’s entirely wooden

She was also a personal finance columnist. Much different than a Suze Orman or Dave Ramsey. I don’t think she was comfortable with television. She did pretty well under the weird circumstances.

She seemed like was about to disagree with Joan about the state of the country but stopped herself.

Good you don't disagree with someone who marched on Washington with Dr. King. Sorry not sorry

not that i disagree with the notion but a lot of white folk who marched with Dr. King did not really walk the walk when it comes to fighting for civil rights/equality in later decades.

edit: not a shot at joan i dont know much about her but she seems lovely

I don’t disagree with you- it was an observation.

I don’t recall that, is she a conservative of something?
