The Grace Helbig Show
What's the Story?
Hosted by the the popular YouTube sensation Grace Helbig, THE GRACE HELBIG SHOW is a comedy talk show designed to explore the latest and greatest in popular culture while interacting with viewers on social media. It features interviews with celebrities such as Aisha Tyler and fellow YouTuber Tyler Oakley and game show-like segments with comedians such as Mamrie Hart. Throughout it all, viewers are invited to interact with Helbig and her guests via Twitter, Vine, and Instagram.
Is It Any Good?
In the classic talk-show tradition, The Grace Helbig Show features celebrities answering random questions and promoting whatever project they're currently involved in. It also uses editing techniques and takes advantage of online content to help the series feel more interactive, not unlike Comedy Central's @midnight.
It's more silly than irreverent, and some of what's featured here works better online than it does on television. But Grace Helbig fans will find it funny, and folks who enjoy social media may find it interesting and relevant.
