Now, he'll have to decide what really matters to him when the laughter stops, and how much he's willing to give... to The Twilight Zone.Struggling comedian Samir Wassan meets legendary comic J.C. Wheeler, who advises him to include personal material in his routines.
In the end, Samir's final encore is a show you can only buy a ticket to... in The Twilight Zone.Keith Phipps of Vulture describes J.C. as "a fantasy version of Dave Chappelle" who has "a relaxed demeanor".
"[3] Jim Vorel of Paste Magazine wrote that the episode took too long, citing issues with the 60-minute timeslot in the original series, and that the material used for the jokes which the characters laugh about in-universe is not funny out of universe.
[4] Keith Phipps of Vulture.com gave the episode two of five stars and also cited the length as being too long, stating that "the pace drags, the premise gets needlessly complicated, and by the time the climax rolls around the ending seems kind of obvious".
[2] Phipps however reacted positively to the "topical references" and the episode being "true to the spirit of the original show without feeling confined by it".
