Has technology evolved to the point where you can just search [Fox News Analyst Name] [Embarassing Phrase/Gesture] into a big database or do need a couple interns sifting through years and years of garbage looking for something specific. "Godammit Lou you missed John McCain's July 16th, 2003 crying baby joke retelling, you're fired!"

That's weird. I can't imagine what they'd even do with him if they did get him on. It's so rare that they have an actual political figure on, in person, so it would have to be something special. But Trump would never play along with whatever it was anyway.

Yeah, it sounds more like Trump is doing damage control than anything else. He's not really the kinda guest they'd have on their show He's entertaining as hell and i hope he becomes president because americans deserve nothing less, but LWT won't get anything more out of him than he already gives in any interview ever

Baloogan posted:https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/660597552023228416 The Donald is, as usual, completely and willfully ignorant of reality, there are no ratings for HBO shows. He's also scrambling for attention now that his wave of bullshit has crested and even the profoundly stupid people who vote republican are starting to stop paying attention. Snowglobe of Doom posted:In Jon Stewart's final episode they had a segment where a camera zoomed around their offices and visited everyone who worked on the show and there was a HUGE number of people. I know, I saw that and Colbert's sendoff of his massive staff (which he kept, by and large); it was a rebuttal to the people freaking out over LWT taking a week off. At the end of the day they do the number of shows they are paid for, that's all.

Donald Trump just automatically says that any show or newspaper he doesn't like has low ratings/circulation.

I missed last week's episode of LWT because my U-Verse DVR has been making GBS threads a brick and deleting recorded programs, most likely due to a worn-out HDD. Unfortunately, the replacement DVR they sent us, which is clearly used/refurbished, is doing the same thing, but that's another story.  Anyways, I went on HBO GO to catch the episode, and while they have a thumbnail from each episode to presumably help you recognize ones you've seen before, most of the images look like this:

Well that's what most of the show looks like too, so it's pretty accurate. Also LOL if you can't tell the episode based on John's shirt/tie combination.

But seriously though, it would make a lot more sense if the images showed the content of the episode (even if it was just text) rather than a random, ambiguous frame grab.

Solvent posted:Demand a service credit! AT&T will do anything to retain a market, or if you're silent, to pinch a penny. Already got a monthly credit for a year worth $300 IIRC for the last bad box. Haven't contacted them to complain about his "new" one (which, again, is clearly scuffed up and previously used albeit mostly functional) because I just confirmed it today (had to check with the rest of the family to make sure they didn't delete the recordings I had noticed were missing.) The thing is, our replacement box is the VIP2250, which is their top model, and not only has the largest HDD they offer (500 GB) but is noticeably faster than our previous Cisco/Scientific Atlanta. I'd rather not get another replacement DVR of one of the lesser varieties. Fun fact: their "newest" DVRs like this Motorola came out way back in 2009! Anyways, I have since watched the October 18 episode, and to prove it, here's the first result I got from the "real" quote generator:  Also, I have now learned that somehow Donald Trump won the Canadien election.

I was an expat for 4 years in china in my younger days. The Kenny G bit is absolutely spot on. Every mall, fast food spot (especially KFC, subway, and mcdonalds), furniture store, etc., are playing his music nonstop. It actually get spretty funny after awhile.
