TV Guide Matt Roush
It's refreshing to watch an interview in which the guest needn't worry about sharing the spotlight.

New York Daily News David Hinckley
The only thing that could be disappointing about it is if TV Land doesn't immediately commit to make more.

''Sit Down Comedy" is really about the amiable chatter, with only a passing nod at insight.

Hollywood Reporter Irv Letofsky
His guests are fun enough, but we've seen them aplenty, and there's nothing much revealed that we don't already know.

Steinberg is a polite, solicitous host -- too polite and solicitous.

Steinberg did great interview.Reminded me of the Johnny Carson era. Fun to watch. Never knew Mike Myers was so smart as well as funny.

Barbara T gave it an8:
Saw Mike Myers with David today, outstanding interview. David has an innocent disarming manner and I think Mike Myers releaved more about himself with David than I've ever seen or read about. Good to see David again...
