Maya and Marty in Manhattan

Are you ready for a prime time variety show? NBC is at it again tonight with Maya & Marty, the Maya being Maya Rudolph and Marty being Martin Short. Both know comedy and therefore NBC is not going too far onto a limb with six planned episodes. When you add guests such as Tom Hanks, Larry David and Paul Rudd you have a promising start.

You may remember another NBC variety show that premiered last year with Neil Patrick Harris called Best Time Ever. It was fun as well as short-lived. That said, even one season of something new and fresh is okay, so let the show begin.
