New Show The World's Best

Jordan2 — Tue, 05 Feb 2019 00:42:55 GMT

Did anyone watch this show, it premiered after the Super Bowl last night? It is a talent competition hosted by James Corden and judges Dew Barrymore, Faith Hill, and RuPaul get to vote. They're rerunning the episode tomorrow night at 8:00, it settles into its regular time slot, Wednesday 8:00-10:00. I thought it was good, they get talent from around the world the American judges vote, there is a wall of world judges that also vote. Two standouts were a man from Mongolia and a woman from Japan.

I thought it was good fun and not overly silly. Most of the contestants had sweet talerts and were truly entertaining.

But that “sword swallower” was hard to watch (I looked away) and I just waited for that to be over. Glad he was not voted to continue in competition.

I’m going to watch or DVR it for a few more times. James Corden makes me laugh for sure.

Thank you for mentioning this @Jordan2-

I just watched the violin player from Japan (online).

All the judges were crying

I'm glad its not on the same night as America's Got Talent!

I didn't watch. Maybe it's better than it sounds. Just not sure I can go another 'amateur hour' competition show. There are already so many.

@on the bay, the second hour of the show airs opposite The Masked Singer, but then again that's what I have DVR for!

My husband and I watched it. I thought it was very good. I was also impressed by the quality of the different sets for each contestent. I don't ususally watch these types of shows but really enjoyed this one.

I watched it and enjoyed it. I had scheduled it because I have always liked RuPaul and Drew Barrymore, but I don't know who the other lady is. She is quite lovely and nice, so I liked her too.

The first act was beyond amazing and I really liked the 3 boys singing. Sword dude - nah. I love violin, so that was also a wonderful act and her story was pretty amazing.

The show settles into its regular time slot tonight. They really left you on a cliffhanger, the guy was in the tank of water with time running out. Now this being not live, you know if anything went horribly wrong they wouldn't show it.

The last contestant (Six Octave Man?) last night was amazing.

I enjoyed the glowing robot puppet, the card magician who coordinated his cards to music, and the male singer with that incredible range.

@dawg lover, I felt the camera angles and close ups weren't good on the card tricks, I got what he was doing, however I couldn't see it very well. America's Got Talent does a much better job with the camera work.

Anyone still watching this show? I liked it at the beginning, but now I mostly watch for James Corden. I don't care for any of the judges and not all that impressed with the talent. I wonder how much longer until the show is over?
