Martin is getting his own
show on Comedy Central Feb. 11.
I've yet to see him do anything wrong.

Has anyone watched this?
Here's an
interview with Demetri from the AV Club.

My wife is in love with Demetri, so yes. It is a little hard to see her watching it, looking longingly at the TV in a way that she can never look at me, but the show has its moments. The format is a little bizarre but I think it fits his sensibilities really well. The skits where he fights over a parking space, and where he can only get angry when the camera is not shooting were quite funny.

I like it enough to watch it once a week. It's "quirky," but never really painfully so (i.e. tipping over into Wes Anderson territory). He is pretty cute, though.

The format is odd, but I like it.
Is it just me, or does he seem to be attempting to duplicate the hokey vibe of 80s shows, like "That's Incredible" with the in-studio segments? The cheap laugh track, the edits and segues...
