Jason Seligson

New York Magazine/Vulture

Career Suicide is hilarious, deeply sad, and ultimately cathartic to watch. Over the course of 90 minutes, Gethard forges an intimate level of trust with the audience.

David Sims

The Atlantic

He's brought that genuineness to a format-the comedy special-that can be quite restrictive, transforming Career Suicide into something much more akin to an open, casual conversation with an old friend.

Ariana Bacle

Entertainment Weekly

It's good because he is vulnerable and honest and funny and hopeful, a deft storyteller and living proof that there is light at the end of the tunnel - and that, sometimes, there's even light inside it, too.

Rated: A-

Audra Schroeder

The Daily Dot

Career Suicide does feel a bit long, but it's clear Gethard wanted to take his time. He gets people to laugh at the fact that sometimes people break, and there's always a way to put yourself back together.

Paste Magazine

But what separates Gethard from the rest of his class is his uncanny ability to pull off moments of pathos without a shred of ironic detachment.

Rated: 10/10
