This show is awesome and can be super hilarious if you go in knowing what to expect. The "game show" aspect of it is completely fabricated simply to make the show have a flow. The show is a lot of riffing and on the fly jokes so it can be hit or miss depending on the guests. As for Chris Hardwick, hes not the funniest guy but if you listen to his podcast or see his other work you'll see, his guests genuinely like him and they enjoy going on his programs. The joy of the show comes from the fun it seems like everyone on the show is having and its just got a realistic feel to it. I like the show and I think the people who gave it a 1 star just didn't understand what they are going for. Try it out, but try not to be super serious about it, the show isn't trying to win an emmy here.
