Critic Reviews

Entertaining. ... Jeselnik still puts on his smug, aging frat boy/jock persona but beneath that façade some of the repartee reveals the host’s serious approach to dark comedy.

And when things don’t gel with a particular guest, they really just do not gel. When they do, though, Good Talk shifts from a strange and sometimes frustratingly messy talk show into something that looks more like two master fencers really enjoying a chance to spar.
