I thought I hated the the host of this show but, I was wrong.

This a bit weird but, I don't hate his hosting, I just hate the clothes he wears.

He was much more enjoyable in a suit, I say wear it every week.

Good work.

ok... you guys just volunteered to help me dress for the upcoming show. i obviously need fashion consulting, and i don't want to wear a suit EVERY week. so send me a link to, or picture of, a shirt/accessory/whatever that you think i should wear, and i will try to procure it for the next show. let's see how interactive we can make this shit.

p.s. i'm not a millionaire yet, and it can't be green (green screen issue)...

Hah. Wear whatever you want man. We don't watch the show to see what you're wearing... so don't worry about that.

I wouldn't say that I hated the hosts of this show before, but this was by far the most comfortable episode to watch.

Maybe it has to do with the fact a solo host can't dialog with anybody, but a straight act seems to work much better when you're solo. That's not saying you have to wear a suit every episode, but considering that's how all the late night guys get through their monologues it's something to think about.

Also, I like the way you guys started exploring the green screen possibilities. Take some notes from TRS, Steve is like a 4th host because of the post-production. And that can really help provide a way to break the solo tension.

Anyways, I know you guys have been working on freshing up the show, and I gotta say good job this week.

word. good to hear everyone's thoughts. the solo act has some strengths in its simplicity, but the interaction can be tough to replace. it's hard out there for a pimp.

but the editing has been helping a ton, and we're still brewing new ideas and are open to the genius of the viewers, so keep it coming. and thanks for the support.

and i'm serious about taking garment suggestions... more cause it would be a funny experiment in message-board-power than because i'm over dressing like a bum.

or maybe it's just this whole "sex in the city" craze that makes a boyee wanna shop! ya with me?!?

no.

no.

How about that "Dream Coat" from Martin Sargent? He looks ridiculous when he wears it. But you might actually look good in it. lol.


On the serious note. He can't wear suits all the time. That makes it even more repetitive.

Try not to make every week into a theme. There are some videos that are just as good that happens to be not in the week's theme.

Digg Reel is a pretty good show. As long as they digg up more funnies in the comment section of those diggs.

Come on. It's a cool show. don't want to see him cross dress. it's a fun but somewhat serious show. Besides, let martie and gator do that cross dress stuff.

Perhaps not a suit, but a bit dressy never hurts. Sweatervests, dockers, dress shirts, etc. Always worth a shot, anyways.

clothes suggestions! just my opinion but these are some pretty nice choices - shirt (http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?catId=cat40005&productId=0153_8039) & shirt (http://store.americanapparel.net/q412.html)

Andrew has really hit his stride and made this show his own. I think the turning point for me was after watching the Rev3 Gaz with him planning the show.

Every week he makes it better and better, working with the space he has, while still allowing the videos to come through.

Great job Andrew.

A suit? Sweatervest? Lame. Whats wrong with the hippie punk thing? A suit just wouldn't fit with 20 second stoner clips and shit.

And I agree with MRPysnik, the show does seem to just be getting better and better -- great work!

Yes, A suit would have been nice for on TV, maybe too many people wearing suits on TV so he thought he'd go regular?

I think Andrew should try dressing as a sand worm for an episode.

I think he could pull it off. :)
