The President Show

This show is very smart. They touch upon very serious issues in a hilarious way.

I like how all the reviews are either 10 stars or 1 star, really gives you the impression on how this about being pro Trump or anti Trump. Objectively, this show is really pushing the anti-trump sentiment to the extreme, while the lead actor does a near perfect impression of Trump (too stereotypical maybe, but hè that's part of the joke and i like that usually), but that's the only thing i like about it. The jokes are really trying too hard to be funny: -Pence forgot how to sing happy birthday- -Trump cries like a baby and pops his balloons- Like really?? that's how low comedy has gone? Here's the thing, the script isn't even that poorly written but the execution is too damn forced, "like lets make Trump look as bad as possible than people will love it!" Here in the Netherlands everyone seems to hop on this Trump hate circlejerk as well but quite frankly i'm tired of it. Get this American crap off the Dutch cable (comedy central) and might ass well get the Daily show off too, since John Steward left the show is mediocre at best.

Anthony Atamanuik is a talent to behold. His impersonation is unlike any other and really digs into Trump's soul: a twisted, sad little boy. The President Show is hilarious, brilliantly written and executed and exactly what we need during these dark times. Many have said Trump is so absurd that it's hard to parody him but Atamanuik shows us that's not true. So glad that he has taken his character to the screen, where it belongs for the world to see. Anthony is a genius.

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.

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?
