User Reviews

Not a Comedy Central show

From the success of "Win Ben Stein's Money" comes "Turn Ben Stein". "Turn Ben Stein On" is a talk show starring Ben Stein in which he interviews two stars. (so far mostly former-stars) When I heard about this show, I didn't really think it would be successful. Ben Stein, although a hip cool happening guy, is not what makes "Win Ben Stein's Money" so funny. Though his brains are credible, Jimmy Kimmel and the writers who come up with the hilarious question categories make the show. This show lacks both Jimmy and these writers, leaving only Ben Stein and his not-so-funny jokes. Don't get me wrong, Ben Stein is a cool guy, but this show doesn't have enough comedy to be on Comedy Central.
