The Next Best Thing - 06/06/2007

Am I the only one watching this show?

I really like it. The judges don't take themselves so seriously, and there is no annoying British judge.

The Howard Stern guy was freaky! I kept thinking that maybe Howard was goofing on them himself. lol

I'm watching. Yeah, Stern was really good, as was Rosanne.

Those two were really good.

The middle judge, Elon Gold, fashions himself as an impressionist. Is it just me, or is he worse than most of the contestants?

[mattack]

No, I think he's BETTER than a lot of the contestants.. That's part of what's amusing about this show.. When the judges are better than the contestants, that's a bad sign.

I watched, but had to cancel the SP due to vacations planned and not enough list space. But it was fun to watch anyway. I thought the Roseanne was the most believable of all. Howard was great too, but once in a while you could see a different person come through the persona. Still excellent though, attitude and all.

It did make me actually think how great it would be if someone did come on and pretend to be impersonating themselves. Like, if they did a really bad impersonation of themselves and didn't make it through. It would be awesome! Funny that others thought about it too...must have been the good impersonations that made us go there.

He is good at some things, but not all. I thought his Seinfeld was suck and his Kramer was ok.

I'm watching too... and I thought the Kramer guy was fine - don't see why the middle judge was so nitpicky with the voice. I thought he had it pretty darn close, and more than made up for it with the mannerisms. I also thought Howard Stern and Roseanne were the closest. I just didn't get that Paris Hilton. She wasn't quite right. I didn't think she should have made it through.

Mullet-Trump was amusing too!!!

Oh, and that "young Rodney Dangerfield" guy was GREAT! Almost forgot him...

Just to end confusion I was commenting on the judge's Seinfeld/Kramer and not the contestant.

[Einselen]

Best of the week was Stern. The guy looks and sounds just like him. He wins, I am done watching.

Sorry for MY confusion... I actually realized what you meant. I was trying to say that I didn't understand why the judge had to to try to correct him and do his own Kramer that he thought was better than the contestants. I thought the contestant had it pretty close, and the judge didn't improve on it. He just seems like he doesn't think anyone can do as good a job on a celebrity that's already in HIS act.

I liked the Rodney Dangerfield guy at the end.

[TIVO_GUY_HERE]

Ya, If that Howard guy was the same height as the real Howard, he could wack the real one and take his place.
Agreed with previous poster, gonna have to have someone really great to beat him in the end.

Rosanne was good.
Rodney way good
