The President Show is Comedy Centrals new bet that theres a sizable American audience craving to watch a buffoonish illustration of President Donald Trump.

Certainly mere existence of the show, itself debuting in the wake ofAlec Baldwins popular Saturday Night Live impersonations, has proven some sort of market for self-help comedy consumption. But the new, half-hour President Showis a next level of commitment to making fun of the man in the Oval Office.

After weeks of hype, the show finally premiered Thursday night.In a continuation of his live performances with the Upright Citizens Brigade, comedian Anthony Atamanuik gives audiences what is arguablythe most spot-on Trump parodyof the moment.

To see for yourself, catch a segment last nights show above, where the fictional Trump rates various figures in the news as either NICE! or NOT NICE!

French politician Marine Le Pen got NICE!

Shes French, shes blonde and she hates Muslims, explained Atamanuiks Trump. Shes a triple threat.

Ivanka Trump also got NICE! due to her skin being like Italian marble. After sheillicited boos while defending her father to a German audience earlier this week, however, the German people earned a solid NOT NICE!

This is the worst thing the Germans have ever done, Atamanuik said. Ever. Ever done. Ever.

One moment hopefully hinted at more informative segments of the show, rather than beat-by-beat jokes about the weeks news, when Atamanuik went after White House press secretary Sean Spicer as both NOT NICE!and NICE!

Hes a muttering slobber-mouth with a taste for his own foot, Atamanuik explained, before showing a news clip about the real Trump not firing Spicer because of the press secretarys impressive ratings. This blending of a more nuanced recap of the week amid the easy Trump jokes could certainly be a sign of good things to come.
