Just saw this.
Used to watch this show religiously.
New one is probably going to suck just based on the recent climate of comedy. Most of the guys on Comedy Central who are less famous are 100% in-character and their entire routine is nothing but that character. Don't get me wrong, most comedians are nothing like their stage act but there's a fine line between establishing a character and working jokes from that facade and using that character as the punchline in the vast majority of your jokes. Picking out the good from the bad is pretty easy most times by simply looking at how reliant the performer is on their persona.
Lesser Reliance = Better Quality
Anyway, I'll give it a look because I used to watch the old show religiously.
These are still some of my favorite bits.
