Then he started plagiarizing his movie reviews and he was disgraced. He was a film reviewer who, at some point, became incapable of sitting through more than half an hour of a movie without falling asleep. It’s hard to justify bringing in any information that is not relevant to Forrest’s topic at hand. We haven’t heard much about Forrest’s life before the show. I had never thought about Super Dave before, but I loved those bits and the immediacy of how violently bad it goes. Peabody … I wanted to bring some of that academic, superior lilt to his voice. I sort of modeled the voice a little bit on the dog, Mr. There’s definitely some Albert Brooks from Real Life in him. He’s based very heavily on the main character from the Australian show that Review is based on ( Review With Myles Barlow). Is he an influence on the show? It seems like there’s a little Albert Brooks in Forrest as well. The slapstick of that death scene felt like a Super Dave Osborne sketch. As we said on the episode, “He died doing what he loved: almost getting into space.” One character who suffered for Forrest’s art was his father-in-law (played by Fred Willard), who died in a spectacularly painful Review segment. Of course, he has a knack for sticking his thumb in perfect situations and making all kinds of things horrible, but who knows? Maybe one of these days that won’t happen! There’s always reason to think that something might finally break his way. So every time he’s about to get a new assignment, it’s full of hope. The whole show is like a game of roulette because there’s no telling what’s going to come up for him to review. Seitz on Comedy Central’s Review: Like Jackass in Pleats It’s destroying his life, but he can’t give it up. So yes, I think there’s a good chance that he’d continue to be a life reviewer. He continues to feel that he’s really good at it and that this is a service to society. If he didn’t have the show, would he still review life experiences?įorrest seems to enjoy this process, believe it or not, as miserable as it is. He could end up in jail … or he could become a millionaire! Well … it’s a very unpredictable job, isn’t it? Whatever people throw at him, he’s going to go whole hog and never turn down anything, throwing himself completely into it, whatever it is. Given what Forrest has gone through this season, it seems like his career may not really be a sustainable lifestyle. As the first season of Review comes to a close tonight at 10 p.m., Vulture checked in with him to see how he’s faring as we reach the culmination of MacNeil’s first viewer-dictated journey into the badlands of cocaine, orgies, and even divorce. But those familiar with lecherous theatrical director Don DiMello, talentless would-be Sha Na Na member Hot Dog, and other characters he’s portrayed on podcasts such as “Comedy Bang! Bang!” and the “Andy Daly Pilot Podcast Project” know that “dark” is a language the chipper, slightly professorial Daly speaks fluently. As Forrest MacNeil, the host of Review, the show-within-the-show seen on Comedy Central’s Review, writer-actor Andy Daly delivers a darkly comic star turn as a critic who doesn’t review “food, books, or movies,” but, rather, gives star ratings to “life itself.” The performance may surprise viewers who only recognize him from his minor, though memorable, role as emasculated Principal Cutler on Eastbound & Down.
