Just want to make sure I'm right about this... Jeff is an ersatz Anthony Bourdain, right? Also, Dev's dad is the best.

Jeff is completely Anthony Bourdain with the serial numbers barely filed off.

You can see that three card monte smash coming miles and miles and miles away, but it still works.

Yup, totally knew that three-card-monty thing was going to end in disaster but it somehow worked for me anyway.

Spike through the hand is based on something that actually happened.

...but Cedrick the Entertainer was brilliant. Beyond brilliant, like... this is the curious twist in this show as well - at times the actors are kind of too much for the frame they're being asked to perform within. 'Jeff' is creepy and... well creepy, but every now and then you see that he's also smart as hell and cunning as well as creepy - in ways the script doesn't necessarily flesh out. And Cedrick as the magician - I wanted to watch a whole show of him, because what he brought to the moment in the dressing room made me want a better fleshed out, not two dimensional character working a small, corny piece of near-shtick.

I couldn't watch the hand.
