6/10
EDIT
“SNL50: The Anniversary Special didn’t feel all that special. It felt like business as usual for a show that already congratulates itself as often as it possibly can, with only a few highlights coming close to the show’s rep as a comedy institution. ” –

6/10
EDIT
“It’s obvious that Oswalt is trying to address one of the major cultural issues of the day in a way that won’t insult or criticize anybody. That just makes it all so toothless, misguided, and unnecessary. ” –

8/10
EDIT
“It’s a little schmaltzy, a little sarcastic, and fully aware of how sordid and artificial the entertainment world is, while still keeping its cynicism at arms’ reach. Muppets Haunted Mansion pulls all of that off.” –

“Nate: A One Man Show is a daring farce about consent and machismo that's often hilarious and always provocative. Don't expect anything like a traditional stand-up show, which is one of its strengths.” –

Aziz Ansari: Right Now (2019)
