What is it going to take to get the writers of this game show to understand that Leslie Jones is just not funny? I don't care if she doesn't miss SNL. That's where she belongs. If she wants to be an obnoxious game show host, then she should do it in a skit, and leave the actual game shows to people who are willing to provide real humor, not forced humor. You could just tell me not to watch it, but I really think that's missing the point. The more obnoxious she becomes, the more likely ratings will suffer. Leslie Jones needs to be replaced, but I doubt that will happen. I also think this show is difficult to look forward to or take seriously, as long as Leslie Jones is the host.
Also unnecessary: Neil, the security guard. Considering this is really a skit, then maybe Leslie Jones really does miss SNL. Does this guy really need to appear in every episode?

Was "Big Fan" only meant to last a few episodes? This show just disappeared. Did it get cancelled, or what? I sort of enjoyed it, but had it stayed on the air, it could have gotten better, or I could have gotten used to it. The people that put this show together - I really don't think they gave it a chance. Or us viewers, for that matter.
I just watched Ken Jennings try his luck at winning a million dollars ( it's available on YouTube), and sadly, even he couldn't win the top prize. Now I was sure he would because of that 74-day winning streak on Jeopardy. But when he got stuck and had to use all three lifelines on one question, I wasn't so sure anymore. And why exactly does this show need to be continued anyway? A millionaire (on this show) is a rarity, which brings to mind only one question: Why bother? I always enjoyed WWTBAM with Regis, but after his departure, the show lost its magic. To say that Meredith Viera was no Regis is a big understatement. If her heart was in it at all, then it was only in the game, and nothing more. She may have been a decent host, but she wasn't a memorable one. And even more changes were made, besides different hosts. The contestant or the host don't sit anymore. Plus, there's no longer a fastest finger segment, which, in my humble opinion, was a great way to decide who gets to play next. Why they removed it is a big question. Does standing up change anything? Hard to tell. Now, Regis did host Super Millionaire a couple years after he left and returned for the 10th anniversary edition. But that's about all the additional Regis you're gonna get. This is like a scripted show. You lose an original, yet the show continues. It's probably not a good enough reason to cancel it, but it would certainly help if it weren't on anymore. I wonder what Regis thinks of the changes made to the show he once made not only popular, but memorable. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't like them either. After Regis left, the show should have gone with him.
