Two weeks into its freshman run, Nick Kroll’s sketch pop culture series Kroll Show has been renewed by Comedy Central for a second season with a 10-episode order. “Nick plays his characters with such comedic conviction, it’s become obvious he has a serious personality disorder,” said Comedy Central’s president of original programming Kent Alterman. “We hope another season will help him discover who he really is.” Added Kroll, “All of me are very excited.”
Kroll Show is executive produced and written by Kroll, John Levenstein (Arrested Development) and Jonathan Krisel (Portlandia). The premiere of Kroll Show on January 16 drew 1.4 million total viewers and was the #1 show in all of television on Wednesday in its 10:30 p.m. timeslot among Men 18-34 and Men 18-24. Across the premiere and two encore replays that night, Kroll Show averaged over 2.0 million total viewers and 1.6 million adults 18-49.

Well deserved, that show is hilarious, like a white Key & Peele.
Agreed. The show is great.
this is the worst show i’ve ever seen. so not funny. comedy central should seriously rethink their ‘comedy’ because this guy is far from funny.
Half hilarious, Half awful…good to hear tho
That show is just straight up awful.. Just like Comedy Central to renew such drab insipid attempts at comedy..
this show sucks… worst then key and peele and that is sad. comedy central is going to shit.
I likened watching the first show to watching URKEL while scraping your fingernails on the blackboard. Must make SOMEBODY, somewhere, laugh.
I’m a 22 year old psych degree at the U of ND: I consider myself as a very good judge and voice of people who watch comedy shows…I watch shows ranging from family guy and American dad to the whitest kids u know and all shows in between. As of 2013, this show combines even single concept of what is considered funny into one show…obviously this show is so called considered “stupid comedy” but the mAkers of this show are so fucking smart they make the best stupid comedy I’ve really seen in a while…I so hope this show goes on for many more seasons as it would be absolutely sad for the comedy community as it was when wkuk was cancelled…the kroll show does a good job at staying between the line of acceptable and unacceptable so hopefully it is promoted enough to keep people watching; hence keep it on tv…thanks, Dave Spratt
You sir do not know what you’re talking about, this sad excuse for a sketch show should have been aborted from day one. I find it laughable that you can consider yourself a representative of the comedic cummunity when you have the taste of a 5 year-old stricken with down syndrome. You also claim to attend one of the best schools in the country. Sorry, but I would expect a student of Notre Dame to be able write a coherent paragraph that is not riddled with more grammatical errors than a 5th grade essay. While you may consider yourself voice of the people I can guarentee to you with absoloute certainty no one else does, and if they do they do they share the same blatently unfunny taste as you. It is obvious to me your a pompus ass who is so unrightfully full of himself that he claims to be some kind of psuedo-critic before writing a shitty review. Kroll is just trying to be the next chappelle show, but the difference between them is that kroll has maybe…maybe one or two funny sketches a night whereas Chappelle had EVERYBODY laughing the whole episode, every episode, for the entirety of two seasons. And it would have been more if he had excepted the offer that only a truly talented comedian would be presented with.
So, what do ya like? I think Kroll Show is great. It’s great satire. Publizity, and Rich Dicks are spot on. They make fun of stupid people in Hollywood, where I live. Some of the humor, might be a little inside LA for people. If you don’t live here, you might not see people like Rich Dicks, in person, everyday. The European youth hostel sketches, did a great job, of displaying the hypocrisy of many Europeans. “we like hate racism but also will call black footballers monkees”
You need to bust out of your, “Hollywood” bubble. Rich Dicks is obviously a rendering of a common stereotype seen all across the country… Not to mention PubLIZity. Like they say, “Any press is good press.” So, those of you who HATE the show should do yourself a favor and keep your mouth shut.
This show is awesome stop hating
I honestly don’t know why this show is still existing. I just don’t find it funny. It’s not comedy.
Nick Kroll is a funny guy, but this show is horrible. Sketch comedy is a dying breed. Comedy Central just likes these types of shows because they’re cheap. Also, Kroll is great on The League because he has a great deadpan voice. But when he tries to become wacky, it gets old after about 2 minutes. The episodes of The League that he wrote are always much broader, not unlike Kroll Show. It’s like Adam Sandler, hilarious actor, not great as a writer.
this show had less than .93 million viewers and got remewed, seriously WTF, and then they cancel Futurama
This show is pure genius. Geniuses are few and far between. If you don’t get the show, don’t be mad at it…being average is perfectly normal. It’s OK to be OK. I’m sorry Leno is retiring, guys.
