What's the Story?
NICE ONE is a short game show where contestants win by complimenting things. Host Ron Funches gives the contestants prompts that are challenging to compliment for one reason or another, and the audience scores them on kindness and cleverness.
Is It Any Good?
It's like the old saying goes: If you can't say something nice, say something funny. Nice One is essentially a joke-writing contest with arbitrary rules, but the contestants are game, and Ron Funches' charming enthusiasm carries things. The hit rate on the jokes is pretty low, and the audacity of the prompts themselves is often funnier than the contestants' responses. But, as in real life, it's hard to be mad at something all about smiles and saying nice things.
