Hal Sparks evidently had never smoked, doen drugs or had alcohol because of his native american ancestry. He is very preachy and could probably benefit from a little somethin somethin. I have never seen him act but find him grating based on his “I love the _______” stints on VH1.
Hal Sparks was kind of annoying.
Nowhere near as bad as the comments suggest imo. Enjoyed the guest.
Lame guest.
Hal has to legitimize every conversation w/ his own voice, I think he misunderstood that he was there to be the 3rd host. I know Loveline likes their guests to be involved w/ the show but this guy is like the annoying person at the party that won’t stop butting into conversations. And he sounds like Dr. Bruce.
i mostly appreciated hal. he doesn’t seem to dig the sidebar gag drew and adam do… but there are a few guests like that.
its cool, and smart, that he never did drugs or drinking. but his voice is pretty annoying. maybe its just the chicago accent. he was definately uncomfortable with adam saying he’s gonna get him drunk.
Hal is a condescending prick. Claims to have never had sex with anyone who was under the influence and acts incensed that anyone would have sex with a person who has been drinking…
I thought guests were kind of supposed to be like third hosts. Sparks is an OK guest in my opinion. Kind of a slow, quiet show but not bad.
Hal is actually a decent guest, the tone of his voice is kind of “know it all ish.” But he seems smart and was in tune with the show.
I thought Hal was great.
Hal was fine as a guest and I don’t think he went too far with his level of participation. The worst guests are the ones that barely speak up at all. I think it was sort of a missed opportunity though, usually comedians do better with Adam and they’re able to riff off each other but that just wasn’t happening at all in this episode. He was more of a counselor than a comedian.
Good if others liked this episode, but it was one of the worst I’ve heard. definitely the worst of 2003 so far. When Hal isn’t interrupting people, he’s disagreeing with Drew’s expert advice or getting defensive when Adam and Drew do their “whisper to each other and talk about the guest” bit.
The one interesting thing I noticed was, I think this is the first time high-def TV is mentioned.
Hal is a dick.
