The Nick and Jessica Variety Hour (2004)

Following their 2003 MTV series Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica, young married couple Nick Lachey (formerly of boy band 98 Degrees) and singer-actress Jessica Simpson starred in a lively television special, The Nick and Jessica Variety Hour. A sketch-driven show somewhat reminiscent of Sonny and Cher's old primetime music and comedy series, Nick and Jessica is strong on guest stars and mutual teasing between the attractive hosts. Highlights include Simpson's funny duet with Jewel, in which the former mimics the game singer-songwriter's stylized vocal on "Who Will Save Your Soul." (Lachey's duet with Kit the talking car from the 1980s Knight Rider show is a little less appealing--comically so.) Simpson also shines in a great bit in which she revisits, rather obnoxiously, her Mousketeer days with little Britney, Christina, and Justin, while Kermit and Miss Piggy turn up for a go at "Don't Go Breaking My Heart." --Tom Keogh Amazon.com

Nick and Jessica variety hour

It was dumb. It was not what I thought it would be. No acting skills on Jessica's part. It was all about Jessica not too much of Nick. Whoever wrote the script, didn't do a good job. October 28, 2008

Great!

If you are a fan of
Nick and Jessica or of the variety show of the 70's you'll love this
pretty chessy but fun, muppets, KITT from nightrider and so much more
very silly but very fun July 16, 2008

Embarressing Part 2

What a waste of money. Waste of space. Waste of time. I'm a fan of both Nick and Jess but you'd be ashamed to own this. Not worth a dime. December 11, 2005

Not their best work...

Ok now dont get me wrong, some things in the variety hour were really funny, but then again there were alot of things in there that are sooo LAME!! In my opinion they are trying to be Sonny and Cher and EVERYBODY knows that Sonny and Cher are the absolute BEST and nobody will ever compare to them! Nick and Jessica can try but...sorry guys it will never happen! Comedy hours are great when Sonny and Cher do it but Nick and Jessica just make it look bad so Nick and Jess PLEASE im begging you PLEASE stick to singing! August 11, 2005

Wow, this was bad

I can see Jessica doing something this lame, but Nick? He's usually the level headed one who can tell when something is just lame. But you see him up there dancing along with the choreography like a puppet. It's kinda sad. The Nightrider thing was embarrassing, and Jessica is a horrible actor.

The weirdest thing was when she sang with Jewel. She's a good singer, but looks absolutely ridiculous doing it. You can actually see Jewel trying not to laugh. The rest of the show was just bad jokes. Like the baseball skit where Jessica hit someone in the audience (supposedly), that was the punchline? Seriously?

Kinda ruins the Newlyweds series for me. March 18, 2005
