The President Show

this is a well written show very current and timely often with same day news. the guy who plays Trump is amazing and funny the show always makes me laugh (and cry on the inside, you know why) sometimes i forget that this is an impersonation and not the real thing so that is noteworthy. the show is rapid fire and the interviews are really good i especially liked the Deepak Chopra interview it was very blunt and funny.

I used to think Alec Baldwin was the quintessential Donald, but Anthony Atamanuik is even better. He's captured Donald's nuances and his non verbal behavior. Its all farce, so no one should take offense.

Initially I wasn't sure how long they can keep the laughs going with an Oval Office format, but they have been able to expand the format and the guest appearances from real Trump critics are brilliant.

I'm also impressed with how up-to-date these sketches are.

Strangely enough, when I watch Trump now I see Atamanuik, so if you are a big Trump supporter, you might want to avoid watching this.

Nearly as good as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in content (which I rate a 10), but, because spends more time on news/comedy and less on interviews and music, may even surpass it now. The one interview that the President Show does is actually funny and sometimes worth watching, unlike Colbert's, as it shows Trump's reactions. It seems that Comedy Central has ordered more than 10 episodes now, but will we have to wait until the next season or will they pop them out daily like Colbert or even weekly or at least a decent 20 a year?

As the star and creator, Atamanuik, said, ""I'm so grateful that Comedy Central has decided to end its tenure as a cable network by renewing The President Show." As you can see, this is Comedy Central's first majorly successful foray into web-based episode releases, with their releasing much of the episodes for free on YouTube ( search there for "The President Show" "Comedy Central" ), as well as over 400% more digital views than any other Comedy Central premier.

Also, you can watch the most recent episodes (with the exception of the E10 - the latest for now) on Comedy Central's site ( www.cc.com/shows/the-president-show/full-episodes ) or all available on YouTube ( search there for: "The President Show" Season Episode) )

I wonder what's going to happen when Trump leaves office? If Trump gets impeached, will the star, Anthony Atamanuik, still play Trump around the halls of the White House commenting and tweeting in this show, or play Mike Pence instead? I see potential for this shower to cover many presidencies, hence the more general purpose name "The President Show" instead of the "The Trump Show." However, if the president is a woman and/or a different ethnicity than what will the star/creator do?

So sad, so so sad.

At SNL they understand that sketches must be sketches only and therefore they pop up randomly but not all too frequently. A Trump impression is fun for maximum 4 minutes, how they fail to see this is beyond me.

Regardless if you like Trump or not, this show is pure horse-poo. It is an insult to comedy. It is a very cheap way of scoring points/ratings and a very cheap way of making comedy. Just bully 1 person. In two shows I haven't been able to chuckle or laugh out loud. Perhaps its my taste, but I like to think I appreciate comedy and laugh at just about everything.

I cant imagine people appreciate this show and surely I will make it a point to not watch this again, until they make Comedy great, again! So, sad. So sad.

Edit: I've watched some more episodes and it remains very flimsy and borderline funny. I guess people need shows like this to cope with the reality of the real Donald Trump. It is bad enough Trump is in the White House but what is worse is that he has taken over ALL of my favorite shows. SNL, Maher, Colbert, John Oliver. Trump trump, trump.

This show remains to be of very poor quality and is no more than a cheap knock-off parody. What is worse, it aids to the Trump reality. Americans and the Media don't seem to understand that all the news coverage, all the TV coverage and all the free airtime simply add to his Marketing strategy. All of the attempts to make fun of him still resonate his message. The only way to get him out is by ignoring him completely.

I didn't have high hopes for this. I figured it would be redundant and also lack content. However, there always seems to be new and fresh material every week to create satire over. Like most shows, each episode gets a little better. The impersonation of trump is the best around at the moment. His fan base may not appreciate the show, but all presidents, regardless of party affiliation, has a little fun poked at them. I am surprised that they are able to get guests on the show from the Republican party, yet the banter is good.
