this show brings out comedians and gives them a shot at fame. there have been incredible talents like ron funches, doug benson, weird al an so on. to expect that this was "child safe" or not "toilet humor" is totally on the viewer. if you don't enjoy comedy, then don't watch this. If you have an open mind about political,pop culture, social, and maybe personal issues, this show is for you. It doesn't deserve a bad review, you do. It is all about comedians creating a quick laugh, a "lol", or a joke that makes you think. If you don't like the show, stay off this thread. I don't go on websites saying how pineapple on pizza is an awful topping and I try to make you feel bad about it because i don't like it myself. Who cares? stop wasting your time, buttheads. Do something better with your time.

Stephen Colbert is 1000000 times better because he is not a racist. He has spoken in a positive way of Mexicans. I enjoy going to see new TV shows live. There was a few times I went and racist jokes where said by the guest stars. I found that extremely offensive. The last time I went I was the first one there and they picked out white people before me. I was like whatever. I figured it was since I'm not white. They must think only white people own a TV. Lol If you're of color just change the channel. In that way it can get taken off the air for low ratings. Maybe they will hire Mexican production. As far as I could see the crew and production was white. Watch something else. This show is hell a lame For being racist. Colbert is far superior.

Between Tosh.0, Jeff Ross's "The Burn", and The Jeselnick Offensive, Comedy Central already has enough comics making fun of the internet. @Midnight also feels a bit to similar to Jeff Ross's show, save the arbitrary game show points handed out to @Midnight's guests. So far, I haven't seen @Midnight's format inspire a lot of good material from the comics either. As a fan of Hardwick and many of the shows guests, namely Scott Aukerman, Paul F. Thompkins, and just the general pool of alternative comics and writers the show features, i'm just a little disappointed that no one ends up looking very good, or very funny, on this program. Of course the show does have it's moments. Chris Harwick is a great host and the guests are funny people, and they do say some clever things from time to time. So, in conclusion, I can say that I like the guests that the show and Hardwick draw, and the show is probably great for some of the lesser known comics and writers. Unfortunately, it's just not a good show. It's poorly produced, sloppy, and rarely funny despite all of the great talent. Better luck next time Hardwick, because you know, and I know, and everyone knows, that this show doesn't have any staying power.

So I watched through 3 episodes to give this new show a chance. I didn't laugh a single time. On the contrary, many "jokes" were so painful to hear, they made me face-palm intensively; no audience of decent level would dignify them with even a smirk. Worse, a large part of the episodes is filled with the sound of Chris Hardwicks or his guests' annoying laughter. I can't believe that people compare it to Tosh.0, a show (which I find hilarious) that is far, far above @midnight in terms of originality, presentation, punchline bringing, dryness, video content etc.Just as there is "English" humor (Rowan Atkinson for example), there is also "American" humor. Maybe @midnight is just a part of American humor I cannot appreciate or understand, but I find it's content downright thoughtless, witless and annoying.
