Naval gazing times 3: "SmartLess" is Tasteless
4 June 2023
Being from Chicago, I watched the episode where these three self-indulgent narcissists put on two shows on the same night at the Chicago Theatre and ordered Italian beef sandwiches from Portillo's. For me, Chicago plus Portillo's was the only draw; I had not heard of this road show and had low expectations. I knew who Will Arnett and Jason Bateman were but had never heard of the Chicagoan Sean Hayes, though, apparently, he has been a performer with some success.

Suckered in by the Chicago connection, I gained nothing from watching this and lost 45 minutes of my life that I will not get back.

The Chicago Theatre was apparently sold out for their appearance, and perhaps these three stooges had equal success in other cities; so good for them. I guess there is no accounting for taste.

Chicago, and I imagine every other location where they were booked in the presidential suite of a luxury hotel and flew to in their private jet, offers much better entertainment options. Unless you are a masochist, I would highly recommend that you give this "bored show" a miss, even if these entitled clowns came to your home town. Based on my experience, I have no doubt that in every city they descended upon they subjected their hapless audience to emetic stories about their rich and carefree lives-and how great it is to be them.
