There is something magical about that old-rear end man having "Let It Go" as his ringtone. I wonder if NDT can make The Nightly Show not suck. I'm not holding my breath.

I don't get it. Stevie wonder held his arm out, the mike stand hit it, and then he didn't catch it. He dropped it and this proves he can see?

IRQ posted:Good god, is TNS questioning the loving moon landing at this point? The panel segment was on "conspiracy theories" despite the first segment being something else entirely. Larry started the panel out with something like "There are some crazy conspiracy theories out there, we all believe a couple of them..." to which NDT quickly interjected with "No, not all of us." One of the panel members was also a member of the show's staff so I don't know if this show is just hurting for guests now or what. You're not going to get many people that anyone gives a poo poo about listening to when they don't have an opportunity to plug their new thing, though. Really wish he'd just give up on those wacky "my 1970s talk show" bits, those are just painful. raditts fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Apr 17, 2015 |

I'm watching the segment right now and they aren't questioning the moon landing, Larry is lobbing conspiracy softballs and Tyson is smacking them down, along with some jackass interrupting them with what he thinks are jokes.

I'm not even touch that boring and stupid snitching episode, that was not funny, interesting, or enlightening in any possible way. Am I right in saying that the conspiracy theory panel was entirely just "let's troll NDT"? A negligible amount of people believe those things, was it really worth having NDT on your show just to gently caress around with all that? What a motherfucking waste of time.

So, a friend of mine wound up watching Trevor Noah's documentary on Netflix, and it actually managed to have him go from hating the guy (having gotten mad in the twitter mess and all) to actually liking him, because it made him realise why Trevor's background and mindset is. Hopefully, once he's hosting, others will be able to go through roughly the same process.

Caught up on the nightly show while doing my weekly destiny grinds, I can't believe on the tuesday episode a random audience member came in as a panelist. And she was funnier than the rest of the panel. How is this show still on the air. I'm generally a pro-death penalty guy but an NPR episode had an argument I hadn't considered before, that due to the appeals process the victims have to relive their loved ones deaths over and over as the defense gets to try a variety of tactics to stall or reverse the death penalty and the families get called to testify over and over. That is pretty horrifying and if the families are ok with life in prison (like many in the boston case are) then who am I to demand death. Still, the Wilmore panel was an utter joke and this show needs to get yanked, even south park reruns would be more informative and probably higher ratings.

How are u posted:I'm 100% for the Death Penalty because we have powerful magiks that allow us to resurrect the hundreds of people we've executed who, woops, turned out to be innocent after all. The reason most innocent people are not ressurected is that they do want to take the level and constitution penalty. They prefer rolling new characters.

Larry Wilmore's Blerd off against Neil deGrasse Tyson. I was hoping for something better, like Colbert when he nerded out on stuff, I don't know why. The joke wears thin very quickly. Disappointing.

Neeksy posted:What happened this time? I missed everything tonight. Just the general attack on the ESPN employee for railing against a tow truck employee. 1. Its not actual news, the entire story was an employee of ESPN being a dick to a tow truck employee. 2. I am a huge sports fan and I have barely heard of said employee, so its not like a loving A or B or even C lister doing it. 3. The footage is heavily edited and only shows her reactions, not what the employee says or does, even in the raw footage that was shopped by the tow truck employee for a week before this came out. 4. gently caress all tow truck employees categorically. They deserve that poo poo. edit: I feel like my points would be the ones pointed out by the Daily Show and Wilmore is just going for cheap laughs and poo poo. I gave him the benefit of the doubt on the death penalty thing, because I feel like you can bring an alternative view to the popular one and still have a an intelligent argument. This was the last time I watch TNS go after someone for the sole cause of public opinion. Its antithetical to what the daily show ever did. All they are doing is Hulk Hoganing, holding their hand to their ear and listening to the audience cheer them on with out any nuance or delineation of the facts. swickles fucked around with this message at 07:59 on Apr 21, 2015 |

People quickly rushed to his defense after the Batman casting backlash. Dude got the role and the Oscar after his Argo whitewashing; so I have no sympathy for him.
