Snoop Dogg Presents: The Joker's Wild

I don't understand why every remake has to be exactly the same as the old thing... If you want the old thing, watch the old thing.

This show is hilarious. Snoop Dogg is so understated and goofy, and it clearly doesn't take itself seriously. The light-handedness and overall silly feeling works well to create a show that is just plain fun.

The audience may be limited to younger people as far as the humor goes, but I found the trivia to be accessible and fun to play along with. I may know next to nothing about Kanye West, but the trivia bits are always a hoot.

Its funny, enjoyable, and just the right amount of absurd. Definitely will keep watching.

I honestly don't get where all the hate for this show comes from. Something tells me it's coming from the kind of old farts who get uncomfortable when an interracial couple sits near them in a restaurant. Sure, the show's been updated, but since when does "reboot" mean "exact same cheesy, unoriginal thing to appease the old fogies"? The remake clearly has a lot of love and respect for the old show put into it. The reason Snoop became involved in the first place was because he adored the original show, and it clearly shows.

As a standalone game show, it's surprisingly good: the set is eye catching, the pacing is snappy, the questions are varied and often challenging, and the humor hits the mark far more than it misses. Sure, it's geared towards a younger crowd, but it even has my 64 year old father laughing at almost every crack. Snoop Dogg is also a fantastic host, taking all kinds of pot shots (har har) at himself and bringing that cool, half-baked vibe he always has while still being sharp. The stakes are also just right: the prize is a solid 50K, so it's not too little like some GSN shows, but not a "big money" snoozefest that spends more time gawking at a big prize pot than actually playing the game.

All in all, a perfectly serviceable, fun to watch game show that's sure please most anyone who is open to it's updated style. If you're willing to chill out and aren't the kind of person who gets uncomfortable at the mention of brown people and/or weed, you're in for a treat.

The show is almost unwatchable. The categories each are a bad play on Snoop's name and this show is clearly all about him. Every question is about celebrity. I've seen Snoop on shows and he can be entertaining. Here he is not. The contestants have to be among the dumbest people on earth. It's usually some airhead woman who completely fulfills that role, bouncing up and down and falling into all the stereotypes and some "macho" man trying to keep up with Snoop. It's definitely not worth the time.

Who in the HELL stole the wonderfully clean and knowledge filled show and turned it into a self love fest for Snoop Dogg, a "rapper" who is known more for his love of weed than his rap? I have only seen snippets and promos for this "new" JW, but I absolutely refuse to subject myself to this drivel.

Poor Jack and Uncle Bill.......may they rest in peace.

I love this reboot! If you don't, go watch the old one on Youtube! Snoop brings laughter and not just for the younger crowd! Gameshows do not have to be so serious all the time. Take time to embrace this updated show! The change IS for the better!
