Mixed bag tonite. Ray Romano was pretty funny. His lines about paying quarterly taxes and renewing his drivers license were LOL funny.
Bill Maher was just plain bad.
D.L. Hughley was pretty funny.
George Lopez was funny but his jokes sounded awfully familar (as in I've heard those bits before on Carlos Mencia's show).
Dane Cook was ok.
Sarah Silverman funny but pretty coarse.
Most of the rest (so far) has been eh, as in not memorable or not funny enough to think too much about.

I do imagine that the broadcast on TBS has probably found quite a few things to censor out (if they aren't airing uncensored). I'm watching the HBO version so I don't know if that is truly the case, but I would guess it's censored given Whoopie's mentions of them keeping busy...

Adding: Lewis Black was pretty good, but I almost always enjoy his bits. Rita Rudner was also pretty funny.

I thought Roseanne Barr did a good job, too.
Billy Crystal did a great performance during his monolog as a flutist.

Oprah Winfrey fooled me. I don't watch Oprah and I thought that really was her pitching those T-shirts. I thought she was very talented, then I found out it wasn't her after all.

I recognized the Oprah impersonation right away. The comic that did that is a regular on Mad TV (or at least had been, not sure about the current season as I have not seen it that much lately).

Billy Crystal's monologue was very good.

Roseanne had a few funny moments but seemed awkward at best and not relaxed at all. Actually the comments following her performance (the hosts mentioned something about her and her 43 personalities or some such) were better in my opinion.

I tried to watch and managed, somehow, to make it through Rosie. She's a real credit to her political party, isn't she? What a classless piece of work. When I saw that Bill Maher was next I knew I couldn't take any more of the stupidity and changed the channel.

Ray was probably the best standup act. Hearing him curse makes it even more funny after seeing ELR for so many years.

Carlos Mencia has stolen most of his stuff from others.

I didn't laugh once for Dane Cook. But he's just not funny so that's understandable.

Robin Willaims was annoying and unfunny as usual. How many stupid voices with nothing to say can come out of his mouth?

Whoopie is getting bigger.

Billy Crystal looks 80 years old. He also looks like he's had Botox.

I love Sarah Silverman. Very dirty which was good.

Roseanne has some good material but did look very uncomfortable. I see she has an HBO special out. I'll have to check it out.

:down: :down: :down:

I only thought Ray Romano was funny and he was only slightly funny.

I usually like Robin Williams and he wasn't funny. Ditto Cheryl Hines and Wayne Brady.

Dane Cook isn't funny so I didn't expect him to be.

And the credits tease us that The Radiators would be appearing and all they play is a couple of musical fanfares! No songs! :mad: :down:

What a crappy show!
