After it wrapped, Maya and I were still discussing new ideas: ‘Wouldn’t it be great if …?’ ‘Yeah, we gotta remember that!’”

I love this show. Brilliantly written with some scenes causing me to hyperventilate because I am laughing so hard. Jiminy Glick rules!!

Like everyone else here, I want to see Maya and Martin return cause this show is hilarious with some of the best talent of comedy around.

Great show! My husband and I loved it! We wish it was on all long year! Wonderful variety show if you mixed Saturday Night Live and the Carol Burnett show you would get this show! Please continue it!
I thought it was great!!! It’s a new show, man we really need variety TV. Enough with the scripted reality shows. With all the horrible news of Terror attacks, it was the one show I knew would make everyone in my family happy. Oh come on don’t let this show only six or seven episodes and you’re not going to renew it. NBC I thought you knew better!!! Renew this show!!!
LOVE Maya & Marty! Such amazing talents! Every episode is a guaranteed hearty LAUGH! We need feel-good shows like this! NBC hear us out, please renew…we want MORE!
