Ben Gleib sucks

Please stop inviting him back I love TDR but can’t watch when he cohosts.

  1. He acts like he is the host not John
  2. He isn’t funny
  3. His impressions are terrible
  4. He can’t enunciate for his life

Seriously I can’t think of a single cohost who ruins every show he is on like Ben. I don’t watch when he is on the main show I don’t watch when he is on TDR the announcement that he is there is enough for me to say gross can’t watch.

I can understand your perspective and respect it it, but just as opposing view you never know what people are going thru at a specific time, which may lead a situation we are unknown as far as being slightly awkward at times. The thing is we are human and have these traits, I wouldn’t be so quick to judge. Second everyone has their own flavor your humor maybe not be your cup of tea, but I think your being a little harsh no? Instead of completely turning away from why embrace it, try to understand the origin of the material, whether it be a joke or topic that is subjectively unique to him that’s the beauty of being open minded. Try it bro might help.

I can definitely agree to disagree not everyone is kindred spirits lol. But I will only say his heart is in the right place and he’s taking time out of his life to speak with others, I can get with that :grin:

I get that you’re dissatisfied, but do you really think posting “Ben Gleib sucks” is the most effective way to express your dissatisfaction? I see the TYT community as a team, we’re members because we share a common belief/understanding, but it doesn’t mean we’re going to share the same views or have the same taste in humor.

If you’re going to express or comment on a team member’s performance, I recommend addressing it respectfully and offer solutions or suggestions on improvement. We should be empowering each other to grow, not breaking each other down.

I both agree with @karennyvette and disagree with @capviksolo. This was not the best way to communicate your dissatisfaction, but also, I find Ben Gleib to be moderate in his level self-assurance and to be delightfully funny. (Sorry posted to quick) That said, I will let the mod team know that you are not pleased with Ben Gleib hosting.

What if it’s not just about pleasing the people that are already viewers? Could it be that he brought in a few more people? And more people pleases us the viewers :smiley:

Hey I get it. He’s not your cup of tea, but you also don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. Do you ever think that John has a lot going on and invites Ben because he trusts him to lead his show when Francesca is unavailable?

You are entitled to your own opinion and you have every right to express it! It’s not about what you have to say, it’s about HOW you say it.

There’s a difference between saying “he acts likes the host of the show and not John” and “I noticed that Ben often takes the lead when he co-host. What’s that about?” And instead of saying “he’s not funny” maybe you should be more specific like “I found his joke about XYZ to be offensive” And instead of “his impressions are terrible/he can’t enunciate” try “he needs to work on his impressions and enunciation. Sometimes I can’t understand him.”

All I’m saying is that If you’re going to criticize, at least be constructive about it and be respectful. Consider how the other person will receive your message… How would you feel if someone came to your job and just told you that you suck? Would you hear anything they had to say after that or would you dismiss them immediately?

Personally I like all the hosts, but I will say I do have my favorites. I appreciate all of them and I respect all the good they’re doing out there. I wish I could do more, but work and family consume my time, so I’m grateful for the TYT community and I support our mission.

You’re part of the TYT community, so I already have mad respect for you. Just be kinder next time. :slight_smile:

I understand what your saying I do! But I’m half German and grew up around the military and Germans I don’t “Hallmark” my phrasing. But I will try to be courteous in future.

I honestly don’t understand like 80% of this reply. But to the first line as stated in my comment I was trying let people who make decisions about who hosts and what not to know that I consumer was unhappy with this product.

I think Ben’s good at presenting. The assumption that he’s trying to steal John’s thunder is an opinion that may be true I guess, but does John feel this way about it? Maybe that’s how they roll on Friday. John is constantly presenting, maybe he likes the break? We just don’t know. I don’t think that because you dislike Ben (which is a non issue) that means that the 4 bullet points above are true. It’s easy to counter each and every one with another opinion or perspective. I guess I hear you that Ben is often leading the stories on Fridays, but I think he’s great. I like the way he talks, who’s to judge?

I have no problem with someone countering it. What I balk at is some how I am disrespecting the community by sharing my opinion or that I don’t offer a solution I do offer a solution don’t bring him on and my voicing my opinion obviously stops no one from voicing theirs. I don’t find my bullet points to be unfounded or untrue and for those worried I hurt Bens feelings 1. I doubt he will ever see it. 2. if a professional comedian can’t handle one heckler then he is in the wrong profession

The fact that this thread I started 2 months ago gets so much interaction boggles my mind I posted a much more consequential thread and got two replies. But this one everyone jumps in with why are you attacking Ben you big mean cripple?

Oh, I took this as a light-hearted conversation and my comment is light hearted. Anyway, I haven’t checked the community board before and didn’t even notice the post was that old until after posting lol. We’re all aloud to voice are opinions whenever we come across a post whether it’s was 10 minutes ago or years ago. My point is that the bullet points represent a valid opinion and can be equally countered with an opposing and just as valid opinion.

I wasn’t offended it just is curious to me

Well it is an attention getting title that’s going to elicit responses form fans of the show, I find it curious that this seems surprising. If I posted that I would expect to be getting reactions to it until the end of time. I see your point that it’s not a big deal and people might be taken aback by it more than it’s worth.

As for me, I’m being light-heated and pointing out that people reacting to this is rather ordinary and predictable. It’s the first thing you see on the board, it’s near the top and seems to be begging for a response or reaction whether you intended it as such or not. I also wouldn’t take my comments too seriously or read into them. I’m not admonishing you, I just simply find it curious that you find peoples reactions curious. What were you expecting, lol? Fans will feel compelled to say something.

I appreciate you dissenting from the norm around here and I respect what you have to say. I don’t think you are right or wrong, it’s just what you think. Godbless. Maybe it could be taken as constructive criticism and be helpful for all us.

I’m out of this convo. Peace to you brother. Keep on doing you and have a good weekend.
