He was funny playing himself as a poker-faced pervert in an episode of Extras, or dancing with Kelsey Grammer and telling him how sexy he looked in a tux on Frasier.

Mike Hale of The New York Times states in his review, 'It’s not accurate to say that Patrick Stewart hasn’t done comedy. A crew as colorfully inept as Selina Meyer's also surrounds him, but they don't have the stinging bile of Veep's crew. It takes a close look at cable news and the personalities and celebrity involved, but it's essentially about one man who is trying to change himself and do the right thing, but is incredibly bad at it. It's sort of like if The Newsroom and Veep had a love child and it was raised by Nanny McPhee in the Royal Shakespeare Company. The Guardian 's Brian Moylan states in his review, ' Blunt Talk is an odd bird. But from there, the series-which Ames produced with the seemingly ubiquitous Seth MacFarlane - pretty rapidly disintegrates, relying too heavily on Stewart's madcap antics and an assortment of not particularly distinctive supporting players, including Walter's sycophantic producers, Richard Lewis as his therapist and Romany Malco as the harried network boss.' When the hooker politely asks if he’s troubled at all by who she is, he replies cheerfully, “No, I’m English.” The adventure ends fantastically badly, at least for Blunt's reputation. Stewart’s Walter Blunt goes on a bender, sings rap and picks up a transgender prostitute.

TV Columnist Brian Lowry of Variety states in his review, 'The premiere starts with a rambunctious energy that temporarily promotes a sense of good will. However, Blunt Talk, which debuts August 22 on Starz, is more than that and worth going along for the ride.'

ĭominic Patten of Deadline Hollywood states in his review, 'If the new series from creator Jonathan Ames and executive producer Seth MacFarlane was just a mix between another Network-inspired show about journalism and some very consistently bad behavior on the part of Patrick Stewart’s cable news host Walter Blunt, it would be hard to recommend giving such a collection of clichés much of your time. The site's consensus states, ' Blunt Talk squanders Sir Patrick Stewart's considerable gifts on a show that too often mistakes forced vulgarity for wit.'
