Reception
The show has been crtically panned. It scored on Metacritic a 39/100 based on 6 reviews. Matthew Gilbert of the Boston Globe claims "Lopez has a full-throated energy and a weakness for sophomoric guy humor that can be grating, especially since his show will air Monday through Thursday nights".[2] The New York Times says "Mr. Lopez said he was “bringing change to late-night TV,” but the only significant change was a coarsening of the already crass atmosphere."[3]
