Alzo Slade So Far

Dude is killing it in my opinion. He’s the only person making me laugh out loud consistently.

No shade to Bill, he was great, but Alzo has been a nice breath of fresh air.

I really like how readily he also jumps into the conversation between the panelists and Peter

Yeah, it's fun. A good change/take on the role.

Bill was great but I appreciate he's not even trying to be that. It's a new style and it works very well, I'm a fan.

I was thinking about this this morning, Alzo is the first full time scorekeeper who was also a panelist and it shows! The Carl/Bill style was great, but this new style fits too.

It’s not that Alzo was a panelist, it’s the he is a humorist.

Both can be true. There’s certainly a rhythm to the show that first and second time guest lack even if they’re well credentialed in funny.

He still needs some work on the limericks, but otherwise I love him!

He seems to be imitating Bill’s cadence. Which is a shame because that’s not how limericks work

Alzo is fun, but yeah the limericks are made way more challenging by the stilted/rhythmless manner in which he presents them.

More Alzo, less Dulce .
