He has the ego of The Office’s Michael Scott, and just as little actual intelligence, but he also lacks the necessary empathy that made Michael a viable character for many years on a network sitcom. That viewers should care at all what Forrest thinks is a credit to Daly and his co-creators Jeffrey Blitz and Charlie Siskel, who have crafted a comedy character for the ages. There’s a comeuppance on the way, and the dramatic tension comes from whether or not Forrest realizes he deserves it. That’s why this last season-made with the knowledge that it’d be Forrest’s big finale-feels a little more electrifying. But it’s also struggled to hold him fully accountable, since part of its core premise is that Forrest has his own TV show and can’t really change his ways until he’s rid of it. ![]() Review has always had a sense of Forrest’s sinister side, wringing big laughs (and surprisingly gripping drama) from the extreme lengths the host will go to for his job. And though he leaves a trail of destruction in his wake, Forrest has otherwise remained an affable, boring, middle-American chump-a perfect villain, hiding in plain sight. ![]() Among the more whimsical activities (eating too many pancakes or obeying everything a Magic 8 Ball told him to do), Forrest has also divorced his wife, taken various drugs, spent months lost at sea, and killed a man, all in the maniacal pursuit of giving his “reviews” the authentic grist he believes they need. Review With Forrest MacNeil, the reality-show-within-a-show that drives this demented piece of extreme cringe comedy, sees Forrest (played by Daly) taking on various life experiences as suggested by the viewing public, and offering his opinion on them.
