John Leguizamo: Sexaholix... A Love Story (2002 TV Special)

Well-written and well-performed

[9/10 · 5 August 2010]

More than a stand-up comedy show, this is the story of John's love life with funny moments and charming moments. Either John is borrowing a little bit from Rodney Dangerfield's self-depreciating "no respect" comedy or he's willing to tell it like it is. I suspect the latter.

John is a very talented guy. He takes on the roles of everyone in his story: his grandparents, parents, his friends and past lovers. Each character is performed with seemingly easy precision.

Watching this show, it was easy to see why the man has fans. He is deserving of them. Not only can he tell an incredible story of self-discovery, but he does so with wit, charm and heart.

Foxworthy's Big Night Out (2006– )

Like Blue Collar without the other guys

[6/10 · 21 April 2007]

The format of this show was essentially like the network Blue Collar Comedy shows, only Bill Engvall and Larry T. Cableguy weren't there. It's funny at times, but you get to missing the other two. Most of the supporting cast was on the Blue Collar show and they have some real talent, so the show is fun to watch. Rather than a theme, though, each show has a musical guest/host who participates in one skit, sings a song, and then chats with Jeff at the end, showing pictures from "before they were stars". I enjoyed watching it, but it would be nice to see a little variety of format. I do love how Jeff came out and did an opening monologue...as usual, they were funny.
