Mark Hoppus should be in the recording studio, not the TV studio.
During my pregame festivities for Thirsty Thursday, I kept myself entertained by watching Blink 182 bassist Mark Hoppus’s new talk show A Different Spin on Fuse. Hoppus should stop wasting his time in the television studio and get back in the recording studio to bang out the rest of the highly-anticipated next Blink album. A Different Spin is a show that would be hard-pressed to make it on the local high school cable access channel, yet it’s on Fuse in primetime. (I’m not guessing many people watch Fuse if this is one of their original shows).
For one, Hoppus struggles with his lines, and the forced banter between he and Amy Schumer (she was a contestant on one of the 69 seasons of Last Comic Standing) makes for a pretty awkward atmosphere. And the studio audience is dead; every time Hoppus or Schumer made a pretty decent joke, there was almost zero laughter from the deadpans. Either the jokes weren’t funny, or a Fuse producer stopped a bunch of teenage stoners on the streets of Manhattan, asking them “hey, you want to watch a tv show starring Mark Hoppus?!” I’m guessing the latter here.
To top it all off, Different Spin featured some awesome guests, including Nelly (he’s still around?), and musical guests Far East Movement performed their annoying song “Fly Like a G6.” A few weeks ago, a girl actually told me I was fly like a G6. I just nodded and walked away, guessing it was a compliment.
