As I said, I’m thrilled to hear Ben, I’ve missed his takes on Top Hat and LPOTL. However, this show misses the mark when it comes to the interaction between the hosts. It’s just Ben talking and the others agreeing and reinforcing what he says. There has to be some kind of minor conflict or just different ideas and opinions sometimes to make it interesting.
Also, it’s a little uncomfortable how many innuendos Ben makes when the female cohost is on compared to when she’s not. I don’t think he’s a bad guy and I’m sure it’s unintentional, but he should be more cognizant of how he speaks to women vs. men because she is a coworker and that’s cringe.
Still, I’ll give Ben the benefit of the doubt because I know he has talent and insight and it’s probably just an adjustment period in a new show. I’m rooting for you, Ben.
