People were asking who the gently caress this weird hawk dude was after Comic Con apparently.

I mean, the idea of him playing such a ridiculous character at Comic Con is definitely funny. As is the idea of him trying to pitch a Veggie Tales ripoff. But the rest of that sketch was just not funny, I'm sorry.

Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time
For y'all have knocked her up
I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe
I was not offended
For I knew I had to rise above it all
Or drown in my own shit
That Comic-Con bit was good up until the Jesus part. After that I had to fast forward.

I think that's why it didn't air until now. They knew it wasn't great, but they had to run it sometime and there was a hole they needed to fill in the episode.

I just listened to this week's Daily Show Podcast. It had two writers and Michael Che hosting; until the podcast I hadn't realized Michael had to leave TDS for SNL, which is a big shame, since I love his work on TDS so far.

Also, he and one of the writers (also an African American man) had a short "police brutality" off that was hilarious and really depressing.

I kind of wished they used Bill Clinton in their Michael Che sendoff just to really play up the joke of having a huge goodbye for a guy who's tenure on the show can be measured in weeks.

Actually, Bill Clinton's one of those recurring guests Stewart really respects and lets talk with minimal interruption, but I kind of feel like Bill Clinton gives essentially the same interview about global cooperation and whatnot whenever he's on a talk show. I actually find whatever he says on TV these days more and more forgettable. Not that I can really blame him or anything.

Does anyone else think Michael Che is taking a step down, at least comedic quality-wise? SNL ain't what it used to be. Plus, The Daily Show does a pretty good job of getting people big, even though there are fewer of them than SNL alumni.

VVV Good point.

Former Weekend Update hosts in recent history are Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon. Each one went on to get their own show, two of which were/are NBC comedy powerhouses and the others are the Tonight Show and Late Night. On TDS you might have a 5 minute segment once a week, maybe once every two weeks. With Weekend Update you get a full guaranteed 10 minutes every week, and you are the main focus.

Its basically less competition, being featured, and in a role that will play to his strengths.

Weekend Update means whoever Lorne Michaels is grooming, for better or for worse. Unfortunately, it seems like all the recent network late night vancancies have already been filled.

Also there's the obvious of being in a TV show on a major network vs. being on basic cable.

Yeah, but that was hilarious. I suppose the only product placement I have really hated was the half hour infomercial for the Great Gatsby. gently caress that episode, and gently caress him for agreeing to it.

But that episode gave us an excellent LeVar Burton cameo, so I am forced to disagree with you.
