    It's hilarious, really, and refreshing, and original and - absolutely - an acquired taste.

    Feresten... is engaging in a slightly weird, self-mocking, Letterman-esque way, with only occasional forays into dippy post-frat humor.

    Feresten's not awful, and the show he has built around himself with video segments has a few laugh-out-loud moments. But he clearly needs to find his identity behind the desk.

    This show rocks. Finally some thing a substitute for SNL which is now the crap-shoot right now. 30 minutes is a bit short. Need to be longer.

    Not good at all. May appeal to a college or high school crowd.
