The Jim Jefferies Show

Jim Jeffries is so funny you can barely sit still. Its irreverent, topical, savage, and spares no one. Jeffries is far ranging, with interviews of a Queensland Australia Senator, and the Ambassador to Azerbeigan. Of course he turns his attention to Trump now and then, but it's not endlessly dwelling on Trump's foibles.

Along with the funny stuff, Jeffries presents lots of real statistics about important subjects (health care, climate change, racism).

It's the funnies show on at the moment, and each episode gets funnier and funnier. His latest episode, about people who go on phony trophy hunts, is not merely hilarious, it is thoughtful and well reasoned.

I like this addition to the political comedy scene a lot, if you know Jefferies stand-up show, you will get a less krass approach to the topics he usually covers, but still with a lot of whit. Sometimes you really have to pay attention to get the whispered lines or remarks on the side, that give the Jefferies flavor to the show. This will not be for everyone, but I recommend everyone to watch this, because even if you do not agree on many levels, there is something to take away in every episode, sometimes it requires to read between the lines.

If you are a Trump supporter and believe big oil should be in charge of the environment, mexicans belong on the other side of a big wall and teachers need guns you probably wont appreciate this. He dumbs down the humour for the US market quite a bit but there is nuance that a higher class of fan will still appreciate. Due to the once a week slot structure you'll see a few jokes that the other late night stars made first but he often has a fresh take on them which is pretty difficult in such a convoluted market. Jim is doing a very decent job as he tries to find his feet as an established late night host. You can tell when he hasn't been putting the effort in, but towards the end of the season one he was on his game more often than not. With the season 2 extension we should see some more money thrown his way, hopefully he invests in a stronger writing team and graphic department which should add up to way more laughs. Good on ya Jimbo. Looking forward to season 2!

I personally thought the first episode was really funny. All jokes were on sensitive topics but still hilarious, which shows some really brilliant writing. Jim as a host is doing just fine, laid back as usual, he's not forcing something out of him he knows he can't deliver. like impressions. Jim doesn't do impressions. which is fine, Im sure they can manage without them, John Oliver does terrible impressions as well. anyway, great show, really hope that it will be successful.

Well the show seems like it could be funny. Dude has great humility, funny persona but do we really need another trump bashing show? I mean can we have a regular political comedy show that doesn't make things painfully obvious where they stand? Comedy takes no sides but all the political comedy shows are clearly one sided. Not really a trump supporter but just getting tired of hearing all the bashing.
