"It’s one thing to watch legitimately excited people participate in a game show (players being called to contestants’ row on The Price is Right is a solid source of joy), but it’s quite another when the two married hosts are overcompensating for their extraordinarily lame premise by running around like lab mice on Adderal benders," says Dustin Rowles of Bell and Shepard's new NBC game show. "They’re like overly enthusiastic cheerleaders trying to white-knuckle a winless team to victory with forced merriment, antidepressants, and spittle, but their dead eyes betray them, especially that of Dax Shepard, who looks like a man trying to find the soul that left him right around the time he and Kristen Bell commodified their relationship for Samsung commercials."
