"The Wednesday premiere,” says Tim Goodman, "felt disjointed, lacking a point or a clear reason for being and — least promisingly — it wasn't very funny.”

Hannibal Buress is an odd fit for a comedic news show, so why did Comedy Central give him one? (http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2015/07/09/why_with_hannibal_buress_reviewed.html)

"Late-night shows hosted by professionally funny people riffing on the news take a long time to find themselves,” says Willa Paskin of Why? with Hannibal Buress. "But even given this steep learning curve, the first episode of Why? was a mess.” PLUS: Buress specializes in being great (http://time.com/3950911/why-hannibal-buress-review/) on other people’s shows, and Why? throws everything (http://www.theguardian.com/stage/2015/jul/09/why-with-hannibal-buress-review-comedy-central?CMP=edit_2221) against the wall.
