Chris Duffy’s You Get A Spoon! was called one of the "100 Best Things in Comedy" by The Comedy Bureau, featured as an LA Weekly pick of the week and written up in Seattle's The Stranger. It was also described in this way by the NYT: "This show, hosted by the comedian Chris Duffy, is kind of like if “Oprah” were on public access television. Every show, special guests endorse things they love, which in turn are given away to the crowd. In the past, audience members have taken home candy bars, books, magazine subscriptions, kitchen appliances, nose flutes and gaff tape."
