Trevor is finally on board with media bashing with that MSNBC bit. He's been holding back the big three.

The panel. :smith:

Jim Gilmore says something sort of awkward and finally got a late night talk show host to talk about him. Jim Gilmore finally understands this election.

No, just kick him in the dick repeatedly until he's loving dead. That piece of poo poo is one of the worst human beings (?) in existence.

Does anyone know what specific kind of gamesmanship Mitch is trying to pull off with this bill? Like he seems to be trying to engineer this so that he can specifically take credit when it does get renewed but it's exploding in his face.

I'm really surprised they didn't show that shot of the reporter preparing to ramble off some statement next to the child's crib-bed-thing and then decides to rearrange the bed, putting some stuffed animals on top for extra pathos.
That was solid moment of Zen material.

When's the Zadroga bill renewal vote due, by the way?

Broadcasting a photo ID, presumably with home address, a day after broadcasting Trump say, 'we should kill the family members of terrorists' is practically inciting violence.

The media knows that's what gets people to watch them, so they'd love to facilitate more of it.

At this point I think everyone making over 60k a year is part of a conspiracy to urge on a global population decimation.

It was so good to see Jon again. His first segment made me laugh at his usual snark (especially with Rand Paul's secretary or whatever lol holy poo poo) and shake my head at how hard it was to flag down somebody to listen to his legitimate complaints.

Then his second segment when he walked over to the panel did a complete 180 into :( . It really shouldn't at this point, but it amazes me how this country can find money for something that is either insignificant or only serves to benefit old and greedy loving assholes in our government, but we consistently fail on helping those who need it most (first responders, veterans, etc). It makes me sick and irate at the same time and it's also why Jon Stewart and The Daily Show are so great especially in times like these: Cutting right through the bullshit and putting a big spotlight on what really matters.

Here's hoping Mitch McConnell has a shred of decency left in him this week.

Trumps went from something to laugh at to something to be disgusted by, it's stuff you'd expect to be happening in 1815 not 2015.

Afraid to ask... is Trump doing better or worse in the polls now?

Mixed, I think. In some places he's been outpaced by other Republicans (including, of course, Ben Carson), whilst in others...

I now know nothing about New Hampshire except it likes proving weird in US polling.

Holy poo poo TDS is KILLLLLING IT. What a loving excellent show. They are firing on all cylinders.

Also, that NASCAR cheese tasting bit was hilarious. I don't usually go for those types of silly asides no matter who makes them (John Oliver), but I actually laughed aloud on that.

Edit: I think this has been Trevor's best episode to date.

I think the first month was pretty light-handed with a lot of jokes, it felt very much like they were going for wacky and zany and easy jokes until they got up to full speed. THe tone of the humor has begun to shift noticeably, at least to me.

All comedy is derived from fear.
I was lucky enough to go to tonight's taping, and it was a fantastic experience. Trevor Noah was great, and he had a great rapport with the audience. I joked with my partner that this is one of the few times I've sat through a daily show interview with an actor/actress I don't love. They also taped the intro/outro and zen for the Daily Show Global, which was a nice experience. Had a great intro segment about emojis. During the breaks he also talked seriously about the subjects today, which was interesting to hear. All in all, I am happy to report from the future that it is a great episode which had me dying with laughter.

Agreed. I'm still on the fence about Ronny. I thought his segment about voting was great, but his two prior segments I was underwhelmed by. This one was in between.

When he started bitching about labor intensive I was fully expecting a looney toons size mallet, that was probably a bit of a letdown. Also he didn't actually seem to know how to eat crab or at least where he was gonna go with it after the prop so oh just stuff some in your mouth. The rest of it was pretty great, I think he just needs to figure out how/where to apply that spastic routine. The main problem is that sad dorky asian guy is such a clichee.
