What did you and Jeff and Andy and everybody else put your heads together about what you wanted to accomplish over these three episodes?Īt that point, we spent the first week throwing out every great idea that we could possibly wanna do in this amount of time. So the deal was finally finalized and you’re going to have three episodes, which is not a long season. So I doubt there was ever a moment where Kent gave up on that. Really, really wanted to give us the best possible end to the show that we wanted to do. I really don’t know, but what I think happened was that Kent Alterman, who has always been the greatest champion of our show, didn’t want to let it go out at the end of season two like that. Then I finally, we got a call to go in and talk at Comedy Central. The second season was done and it had aired and I wasn’t hearing anything. How close did it come to there not being this season? While Forrest may be stuck in that studio forever, convinced that Grant will eventually pop out and yell, “Surprise!,” Andy Daly is very much aware of his own show’s end, and we talked about it here. So Forrest vetoes the review, keeps going, and right after he’s been asked - by an Australian man played by Phil Lloyd, creator and star of the original Review with Myles Barlow - what it’s like to be pranked, the show gets canceled out from under him, even as Forrest is convinced this is all part of the prank review. So, as you just saw, Forrest was given the perfect opportunity to leave the show forever when ex-wife Suzanne asked him what it’s like to stop being a life reviewer and be with his family again, only for evil producer Grant to talk him out of it (with a guilt trip about the crippling injury he suffered at Forrest’s hands). I spoke with Review star Andy Daly about the series’ conclusion, reviews they never got to do (and reviews he wishes they had never done), how they decided on the right way to end poor Forrest MacNeil’s story, and more, coming up just as soon as I’m suspended in the ice for centuries… But the fact that this weird, sad, painfully hilarious comedy was in our lives for three seasons (even if the final one only lasted three episodes) is worth five stars. Review has come to an end, which is news that’s worth a half star.
