OH, is this Princeton Mom? I didn't make the connection!

Yeah, she's a real piece of work. Nobody should listen to her, ever. I really hope this segment does to her what Aasif's segment famously did to that state GOP leader.

Anthony Anderson: "What I don't like is injecting myself with the virus... to protect myself from the virus."

Well that's because you just don't loving understand the DECADES of science behind innoculation and vaccination. GOD DAMNIT why didn't anyone point that out? Is it that hard? It would have taken 30 seconds? They just let his "concern" stand.

I actually enjoy the humor of Nightly Show but this poo poo is really getting infuriating. Don't try and be an "informative" comedy show if you're going to constantly fail on the "informative" part.

I agree that a magazine doesn't have to be some bastion of societal mores, but when they put themselves forward as apparently being "better" because hey, here's our "plus size model" and then they put a tiny size 4 lady on the cover, they're opening themselves up for valid criticism.

The show might be excusable if anyone on the panels were able to show some teeth when it comes to the misinformed / ignorant retardo opinions, OR if Larry showed any spark of personality beyond "being a guy sitting at a desk reading jokes from a teleprompter" but this show does neither and it just leaves me wondering why I watched it when it's over. Even the intro is so lame and generic, it really puts forth that what you're about to watch is merely A Thing That Exists, And Nothing More.

Giving antivax people rope to hang themselves might have sounded funny when they were first planning the show but now that they've caused a major health crisis it's really not and if you're going to bring up the topic and not try to counter that it's a waste.

I feel like they either need to put full, unedited shows online, or maybe cut the panel down a bit. 4 people is maybe a bit much for a half hour, each person gets to say 1 thing the whole topic and that's it. Maybe do like a Crossfire type thing instead of a full panel like that.

Fine, but if he leaves, then he's have to leave Comedy Bang Bang, and who would host that? Paul F. Tompkins?

Actually, that's the best idea let's do that.

Yes, multiple times. Of the "shoot for the sky" names, she's probably the most realistic.

I had to turn it off at this line. It's a concept so loving simple and logical that children can grasp it when taught in elementary school. It's one of the few science things that doesn't even need to be simplified to a great extent to explain to people without a science background. And yet people still pretend like it's some great mystery of how it works.

This show sucks if it's just gonna be idiots saying stupid things.

I turned it off right at the start when their producer said they had on the anti-vaxxer cuz like, ya gotta tell both sides of every story... Yeah, let's have some flat-earthers and moon-landing-hoax believers on, too.

How is this even a show? It's just "people who don't really know anything about the topic at hand talking at a table." I think everyone could get that from their office lunch room already.

Yeah, this episode of Nightly was probably the second most frustrating episode yet. I'll keep giving the show a shot to find its legs. (Maybe it's TDS goodwill.)

When it's just one guest who's a hack, there's a chance Stewart or Colbert would interrogate their position. When someone's wrong on a comedy-themed panel, people just keep defusing any potential argument with a joke.

It's not too late to retool the show. Think about it, Larry. Try to get one of America's two favorite science communicators on more often for science-based issues. Or rethink the panel entirely.
