You Bet Your Life

Jay, wake up! What are you doing? You couldn't be dragging yourself halfheartedly through these cringeworthy episodes for the money. You're worth half a billion. Sorry, I don't get it. A comedy legend I've admired for decades embarrassing himself and jeopardizing his legacy for no reason that I can see. It's beyond sad. It's maddening to a true fan.

I enjoy the show. I'm happy that Jay is doing monologues again. That gives the show more humor. However, they goofed. One question on the February 28 show was "On June 1 1865, Abraham Lincoln gave a famous speech know as?" The answer is the Gettysburg Address as a famous Lincoln speech. However, Lincoln had been dead for six weeks, as he was assassinated in April. Lincoln gave the address dedicating the battlefield in November, 1863.

Having watched the original with Groucho Marx, this version totally has no comedic effect at all. What made the original great was Groucho himself with his classic quips and expressions. I like Jay Leno but this is not his kind of show. I think he is better off doing candid cameos in other shows. Sorry Jay but this version wastes your true talents.

I really wanted to like this, but when I noticed that it only recently came out and was already on Tubi, I was suspicious. Who signed off on this yawnfest? Jay and Kevin both seem like they are just going through the motions, as if this is just a tech rehearsal. There's no energy from either of them. Some of the other reviews here are pretty harsh, and I've only watched the first episode at this point, but frankly I'm stunned that this is so boring. The contestants were likeable, thank goodness, but there seems to be no leadership from Jay, and Kevin doesn't seem to have any role at all. If I was in the studio audience, I'd just want to get up and leave.

Jay seems bored. I don't know why Kevin Eubanks is there. The questions are super easy and the contestants are just randos off the street. They don't even try to be funny.

I never saw the original show but it had to be better than this. Supposedly you can win prizes by just watching, but I was only able to earn 10 points from one show. It takes 1000 points to win a hat. At this rate it will take 100 shows to win a hat. Will this show even make 100 episodes?
