Josh Gad, easily. Bland with bad delivery and no developed "character" like the other white guys made his segments unwatchable for me. I was amazed he landed a tv show.

Josh Gad is the worst. Put any noun after "worst" you want, it'll be true. Olivia Munn... I'd forgotten about her. She was on TDS for just a couple of moments, both of them unfunny. She reminded me of someone who was told during the job interview that she'd be doing one job--say, paying customer's insurance claims--but then she showed up to the job, and they told her that she'd be selling yachts instead. And only paid commission. And she'd only be able to sell them in the market of Ferguson, Missouri.

I don't know how many segments but Stacey Grenrock Woods was probably the worst of the Killborn era for me. Now that my brain is thinking about it, A Whitney Brown was kind of a dud most times too.

Olivia Munn and Josh Gad didn't do enough segments to get past the "New Correspondent" crash course. Very few of even the best started out good. Almost all of them did a few segments where everyone complained about how they weren't funny, then finally found their footing and were good to go. I think Olivia also did a decent bit of writing on the show outside her handful of segments.

I give a correspondent three segments before I start thinking of them as unfunny. Back when she was on the show Sam was a unique case where depending on the material she was given her work would either be completely spot on and hilarious to me or unwatchable. I try to keep in mind that even people I can find really really funny can have a story they just don't mesh with comedically.

Honestly, most of the time I don't even feel like Wolf is filling the correspondent role. Most of her segments come off like forced stand up to me. There's an element of that in a lot of correspondent bits but Wolf just really feels like I got dragged to an open mic night.

I didn't really find anything wrong with her "burkini" segment on TDS. It wasn't mind blowingly funny or original, but I'd be hard pressed to find anything I "hated" about it and I agreed with her take on it. She was one of the few lifesavers that got thrown out regularly on Seth's show, where she was arguably one of the best contributors. On Late Night she also got to perform in character roles which was much to her benefit. That said, Meyers has the worst writers and support cast in late night, so saying she was one of the best on that show doesn't amount to a whole lot. To make a very quickly formed analogy: even though she might be the best tasting pepperoni on the poo poo pizza that is Meyers' Late Night, on the TDS pizza it's going to take a lot more to make the cut with the superior toppings there. While she might be a Ritz over on Late Night, she's going to have to work hard to be more than a saltine at TDS. Jesus Christ, I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore.

She might be the best anchovy in the tin over at Late Night but now she's on TDS where everyone is eating salmon. Or is a salmon?

I had a busy weekend and only just caught up on Thursday's show.  As someone who compulsively blocks everything from my Facebook feed, that was the first time I'm introduced to Tomi Lahren. I'm 29. Between her, young Trump supporters, the alt right, gaters, and every lovely subreddit community; I think it's time millennials (however we're supposed to define it) throw in the towel and concede we'll just be as terrible as Xers and boomers. This might be a tangent, but it's moments like these that have me concerned that younger people who don't remember the 90s. Like, the 90s weren't great and are quite whitewashed now in nostalgia trips, but one of the few good things from that time that went away after 9/11 probably was the idea that America was (or should be) this tolerant, heterogeneous society that didn't turn its back on the rest of the world. Like, Hillary is trying to revive this trope, but it's coming off rather clumsily, especially when she's running against White America's Id in 2016.

pwn posted:Well fuckin' A, I like the Late Night anchovy tin To each his own, man. I'll still take Meyers over Fallon any day. Having known Roy Wood Jr. was a contributor on TDS for some time now, I honestly don't know why I didn't start dvring it sooner. I've started watching regularly and I'm digging it. Having known virtually nothing about him before hand, I think Trevor is pretty good also. This is coming from someone who never regularly watched the show beforehand, mainly because Jon Stewart's pessimistic angle, while brilliant, was just exhausting to me. I think the "feel" of the show seems much lighter now.

I know people are wanting for Stewbeef's rage, but I'm finding that Trevor's measured and constant deconstruction of Trump a nice contrast for this election. It doesn't make sense to yell about Trump, because he always yells louder. Trevor really knocked it out of the park tonight.

Yesterday's episode was strong. Two good correspondent pieces. Also, I like pieces where it pretends it's going to be like Jaywalking, but the "clueless man on the street" actually knows poo poo. Ronnie's Chinatown did this. The VP bit sort of did this, but had to stage it.

It is totally not "truth is in the middle" or trying to equate anything, by pointing out that the news media is a garbage fire that'll willfully mislead or at least not check themselves when they run with "candidate x said y !!!" when all it takes is just that extra 5 seconds of audio to find out candidate x said the exact opposite. Trevor wasn't trying to be even handed by pointing out that yet again the 5th estate was loving up it's job. ZombyDog fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Oct 11, 2016 |

It continues to baffle me that nobody seems to really care when a candidate straight-up denies reality that can be proven one way or the other in seconds. If advertisers can't say things in commercials that are provably false, why do we let politicians? Why don't the moderators turn their mics off and stop the debate to say in big flashing letters "WHAT THIS PERSON SAID IS ACTUALLY A LIE"? They're not President yet, why handle them with kid gloves? Just say at the beginning "Just so you both know, if you state something that is objectively and provably false, you'll be escorted from the debate, bye".

Well republicans are immune to being called out on lies because they've perpetuated the myth that the "liberal" media is out to get them and they're really the ones lying while simultaneously creating a literal propaganda arm of the party and calling it the fair and balanced news network.
