I think Steve Lchippschzschcitcz (or however his name is spelt) is the most promising character of the bunch, so far. He rings slightly of Ali G in outrageousness and ridiculousness. The US Army DJ on yesterday's edition wasn't bad, either.

I've seen better and I've seen worse the problem is the show needs a real breakout characer like Ali G, like The 11 O'Clock Show had. And what is the point of Andi Osho? She just doesn't do anything funny. Is she a comedienne?

Looking at the writing credits the hosts don't contribute anything to the scripts which is slightly surprising, even Iain Lee wrote some stuff for The 11 O'Clock Show. The woman is dull though and seems to be there just to laugh at Jason's jokes.

As I said, I think Andi Osho isn't that good on her own. If she had a partner, things might flow a bit better: as you said, at the moment, she seems to be relying on Jason to crack the jokes.
Speaking of which, I'm wondering how much of the show is scripted, and how much is improv. From what I've seen it looks like the links and Andi Osho's parts are scripted, but quite a bit is ad-libbed, and they also seem to regularly deviate from the scripts.

I think Jason could host the show on his own, why is there this need for a one male, one female host on these shows? Even the bits she inroduces he hels out with so what is the point of her?
I have nothing against the woman but she isn't justifying her place on the show. I saw an episode with two women doing a sketch, they seem to be a comedy double act called Watson & Oliver. One of them might be better as co-host.

What was the point of Danny Wallace on last night's show? He didn't really fit in except to plug his book.

I think its alright, nothing special but its not serious either. I just don't really like the sketches. I think it would be a lot better if they just stuck to a comic spin on the days news stories and ditched the canned laughter and either got a proper audience or none at all and just have the crew laughing or whatever.

There is a live audience - the laughter patterns are too irregular to be canned laughter, and there was some banter between Jason and a member of the audience the other night.

But it does sound incredibly fake and they all stop laughing at the same time. There are also no shots of the studio audience thats why I thought it was false.
