I think the guy who plays the boss is hilarious though. I loved him in Anchor Man (even though I hated the movie)... and that part in Bruce Almighty was hilarious.
Hard to judge the show on just one episode though... but it was just alright.
I actually thought he was the weakest part of the show. Ricky Gervais (the original boss) was convincing as a boss whereas this guy simply felt like an actor doing a bit. Since the 1st episode was really just a scene-by-scene recreation of the first original British episode, the constrast was glaring.
I read in USA Today that further Office episodes will have original plots. Maybe then "that Daily Show guy" will get better as he won't try too hard to copy Gervais's character. That is, if the show isn't cancelled by then.
I didn't say I liked him as the boss
I just said I liked him in the other things I've seen him in
The show looks like it could be funny, but I just didn't think the first episode was. There were chuckle moments.. but that's about it.
And Igg you're right.. it kinda doesn't work.
