Comics Unleashed is snoresville. Nothing witty about it. Doesn't hit that emotional funny-bone. I tried to

watch it several times but could never finish watching to the end. There's something canned about it, or prompted audience responses. It's definitely "safe", definitely boring. I tried to watch the show when I was down and needed a laugh, a pick-me up, but all it did was make me feel worse.

This is my honest review of the show that's replacing Colbert.

but it isn't improv, it is a set up.

i wonder if any of the comics are "known" or if this is "open mike night."
