Australian comic Jim Jefferies brings his inquisitive, international and at-times controversial point of view to America full time in a weekly late-night series. In addition to his takes on cultural and political issues, Jefferies tackles the week's top stories from behind a talk show-style desk. He also travels to far-off locations to confront hypocrisy around the world. With interviews, international field pieces, and man-on-the-street investigations, Jefferies covers the most relevant current affairs, all through the lens of his distinctive brand of comedy.

Mike Hale New York Times 06/25/2020
The results are hit and miss, and sometimes it's a long while between hits. But when Mr. Jefferies and his crew get it right, there's an explosive quality to the humor that you don't always get with [other news satire]. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 06/25/2020
Generally, like most shows of this ilk, The Jim Jefferies Show will require a wait-and-see. As a fan of the host, there were enough elements with potential in the first two episodes to keep me watching. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 06/25/2020
3/5
The topics are timely, and there are some funny lines and quirky field segments. However, it lacks the sharp, smart wit that similar shows like Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and Full Frontal with Samantha Bee are known for. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
