Well, those who were waiting for Trevor to ask the tough questions, there you go. The man's enough of a true believer that it doesn't matter, but still, good effort.

Nah, we're actually in agreement there - I imagine having a micropenis is probably not fun and we shouldn't make fun of people for it. I just think it's fun to imagine Hitler's life being worse than we realized it was.  Maxwell Lord posted:Literally all these panelists are human pond scum. Yeah, if we're talking Nightly Show, this is where I draw the line. Just tweeted at the show and told them i'm done watching it. I'm really, really tired of people responding to millennials saying, "Hey, if I'm working an entry-level job in the tech world, I don't expect to be rich but I should at least be able to subsist off of it!" with "Oh, your generation is SO entitled.  " gently caress that. gently caress you, Baby Boomers and Gen-Xers. We graduated into the lovely job market caused by the financial crisis that your stupid asses created. We know that San Francisco's an expensive city - I grew up a half-hour away from it, and I've seen it grow more expensive. It doesn't mean that Yelp and other companies shouldn't pay their employees enough money to survive.

It's fascinating to see people constantly complaining about "millenials" because they are people that have become copies of their parents and don't yet realize how dead inside they've become.Maxwell Lord posted:I could not watch any of that after the first minute. Human beings with no loving empathy. My God. The Nightly Show is never worth watching beyond the first segment. It's a rare occasion where it's even worth watching that long.

I just think it's fun to imagine Hitler's life being worse than we realized it was. Fair enough. But yeah to expand on what I was saying, I thought it was kinda weird that Noah talked about not making fun of fat people and then did it in the same breath. Honestly I used to make a lot of jokes at the expense of fat people, but I've grown out of it and I really don't think it's okay. I mean in 2011-2012, the CDC reported that 69% of people over age 20 were overweight or obese. I don't know if that makes the jokes better or worse, but either way it's a public health crisis and should be treated with a bit more gravity in my opinion.

Yeah, tonally it was weird. I like Noah, and I think he's doing a good job in his first year, especially since Elliott Kalan stepped down as head writer. But there are a few rough edges, and that was a particularly rough one.

Jordan Carlos did try to point out that things were objectively worse than they were when the guest panelist entered the job market. But it didn't make the panel less agonizing. They should just anticipate when the guest comedian is going to take a bootstraps or PC Police angle and have Franchesca Ramsey on the panel to call them out.

i know jon wanted to like 'gift' trevor this election cycle cause the daily show really blew up when bush was running for office and this could be a similar thing for trevor but so far it's been pretty much entirely wasted this is maybe the craziest election year ever and jon would've destroyed and trevor is like meh, the correspondents aren't really on the right level yet either. it would've been great for jon to go out with a bang with one last crazy cycle instead of just fizzling out and wasting this goldmine on some newbies that wont have found their footing til it's already over.

basically jon left at the exact wrong time. a year earlier and trevor would be good by the time the cycle starts, a year later and he wouldve had a great finale. he went right in the middle so there's no finale and trevor wastes this golden election cycle while he's learning the ropes.

I imagine a lot of them were offered but turned it down because it would be a bad career move to go into Stewart's shadow, never quite being able to ever live up to his legacy and always stressed from being compared, all while still having to do the same jokes and shill whatever company paid to get their product mentioned on the show that day. Instead they can get their own fresh show with lower expectations and some slightly new jokes with different writers. John was the only one who could replace Jon, but he is far better off on his own show. Ra Ra Rasputin fucked around with this message at 04:29 on Feb 28, 2016 |

Yeah I thought John Oliver was better than Stewart during his run as host while Jon was filming his movie. Last Week Tonight is probably my favourite thing on TV. I should check out Full Frontal. The clips I've seen have been really good.

Last Week Tonight hardly covers the 2016 election, though. I admire Oliver's journalistic focus, but I miss the day-to-day riffing on the campaigns. Or hell, I'd love to see someone delve into how completely hosed the caucus systems are.

I watched the last two Nightly Shows and jesus christ, it's not even the awkward delivery anymore, a bunch of stuff is just plain old wrong. The talk about Apple and the "back door" in particular. And then that Rosa Parks award jingle they keep repeating only for Larry to be pretend-annoyed or surprised by it... Am I the only one that's surprised they're even deciding to keep bringing that back?

Its been a glorious train run on Trump by John Oliver, Samantha Bee, and Trever Noah, and I expect Colbert to trash him 5 minutes from now. Daily show continues to be average. I liked the rubio/trump (aka drumph) burn battle editing.

It's not where Jon Stewart was at his height, but it's also Trevor Noah's first season (seriously, how many times do people keep having to be reminded of this?!), and by the way, Elliott Kalan, the longtime head writer, also left the show with Stewart. So everybody who's saying it's bad needs to stop being whiny babies, because it's still a good show, and it's finding its stride. I can understand wanting to sit it out until it clicks fully into gear, but I'm enjoying it for what it is, and anyone who's screeching about it being bad needs to watch some of Stewart's first season. He didn't exactly start off at the top of his game either. Majorian fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Mar 1, 2016 |

That said, Bee is also in her first season as a host. Oliver's first season was just last year. And so far, Noah's TDS doesn't measure up to either.

Bee and Oliver have also been doing comedy in the U.S. for years, and are in their 40's. Noah's younger than me, which seems like an impossibility to me, because there's no way I could possibly be old!  But the point is, give Noah a break. He's got a lot working against him, and the fact that he's doing as well as he is shows how much potential he has.Oh Snapple! posted:Mike Yard is good. If I really, really dislike Mike Yard for his bullshit "entitled Millennials!" opinions on Thursday, will I still be able to enjoy it? This is a serious question.

I really think Noah would have been better served with another year or two as a correspondent. He really could have shined in that role and then been in a better position to become a host. He was rushed into the host's seat by necessity. Obviously, that's not his fault.
