Dustin Rowles Pajiba 12/03/2019
Jamil was actually a presenter in Britain before landing her role on The Good Place, so she's a natural at this, and the sense of humor of The Tenderloins falls somewhere in between devastating pun and bad Dad Joke. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 11/04/2019

Painful game show ranks embarrassing moments for laughs. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 10/23/2019
If The Misery Index can deliver funny lines like that on a consistent basis, then it should have a solid run on TBS. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

04/10/2021 I love it, its funny, quirky, unlike other game shows and Jamela is fantastic host See more 12/14/2020 I loved it all of it Ian wadie Ian ease Ian fagw See more 05/31/2020 I can't stand the host! She tries too hard to blend in with the jokers and it comes off awkward. I tried to watch the show as I'm a big fan of the jokers but she just ruins it. See more 05/12/2020 I love the Jokers but they shouldn't have to be on a game show to keep it on TV. MI is not funny and the host is obnoxious. See more 12/10/2019 I really do love the Jokers and their original show, but they just don't translate as well in other venues. This show really isn't very good. See more 11/29/2019 Just awful. Love the guys but swing and a miss on this one. đź‘Žđź‘Žđź‘Ž See more Read all reviews
