The problem with Nick Kroll's Comedy Central show (http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/03/how-kroll-show-elevated-the-sketch-comedy-genre/388625/), which ends tonight after three seasons, was that it was too good at doing its job, says Sonya Saraiya. "It can honestly be difficult to tell if the show is making jokes. Left on in the background, Kroll Show could very well be a TLC or Bravo (http://themuse.jezebel.com/kroll-show-did-bravo-better-than-bravo-did-itself-1693653669) or A&E programming block, and that is both the show's brilliance and its fatal flaw." PLUS: Kroll runs through (http://www.avclub.com/article/we-really-used-every-piece-cow-nick-kroll-walks-us-216945) his fave Kroll Show characters (http://splitsider.com/2015/03/nick-kroll-runs-through-his-favorite-kroll-show-characters-on-conan/).
