These Critics Had A Lot To Say About Robin!
Has it really only been three months since Robin strutted her way onto the center stage of late night? In what seems like no time at all, our dynamic host has been making serious waves in the late night television comedy scene. For as much as she's able to cover in just 30 minutes per week (although The Randown Podcast keeps the conversation going!), Robin has been too humble to report on praise and headlines she's earned. It's all good, though - we have no problem doing it for her.
Here are just a few of the many headlines Robin has made since The Rundown first aired:
Vox
“When [Robin] nail[s] a punchline, […] the visible thrill [she] gets from the response is infectious. Even as she tells jokes wearing an impeccable green velvet suit, her delivery is loose and casual, like she’s pouring you a drink and catching you up on the craziest s**t you missed that week.” - Caroline Framke
AV Club
“Robin Thede's stunning debut in the late-night scene makes The Rundown worth watching”
And even the infamous body rolls gets a shoutout:
“Seriously, Robin Thede might be my new late-night crush based on her dance moves alone.” - Ashley Ray-Harris
Vanity Fair
“In an increasingly crowded late-night field, Thede’s program is already a standout.” - Laura Bradley

And the most recent accolade: being placed on The Hollywood Reporter's 10 Best Shows of 2017 list:
“In a sphere that's packed with standouts, it took less than three months for The Rundown to become my most anticipated late-night show on a weekly basis.” - Daniel Fienberg
