I am sure that this show made it on air solely because Ellen produced it. Like American Idol, Ellen has no business taking away a position that somebody more deserving, more experienced, and more qualified should have gotten. I wonder how many more deserving shows were passed by because Ellen wanted this to air. Why are multimillionaires so hellbent on taking jobs away from more deserving people just to satisfy their ever-expanding egos. And the fact that she willingly associates her name with this garbage (and Repeat After Me for that matter) shows that she cares little for intelligent, thought provoking TV in lieu of her usual childish, second grade humor and has a very low opinion of the intelligence of her audience. Ellen, as her head gets bigger and bigger from fame, her ideas and shows get smaller and smaller (almost to the lowest depths of the reality TV she so obviously dearly loves). This "comedy" had no laughs whatsoever. The acting was preschool. The situations preposterous. NBC took a hit scratching Ellen's back and in the future, really needs to look at the quality of the programming and not the name attached to it.
