It is ok for what it is.
Every now and then an underground band, like Quartz, does get a mention.
The questions on STUMP THE TRUNK are all pre-written, so what he gets right or wrong is obviously scripted. Half the people in the audience stumble on reading the question, as they themselves have no idea what is being asked. Also, every person in the crowd is wearing some sort of brand new t shirt which was obviously given as promotional items at the door.
The one thing I liked was when the side burn comedian made a call out to bands like Metallica, in saying, "Put your money where your mouth is and bring a band like ANVIL out on the road with you" Even if it was 100% scripted to say, it was still cool. I have been saying that myself for years, that it would be great for Metallica to payback some of their heroes (Saxon, Motorhead, Venom, etc) by bringing them out.
My wife who is not into metal at all watched it once with me. She made an interesting observation. It is like "Best Damn Sports Show", but for metal.
