I know but I would love to see John Oliver take over the Daily Show.

I would love to see Larry Sanders take over the Daily Show.

I only started listening to the Bugle around episode 206, and as I'm working my way through the older episodes, I was struck by something. I'm up to 189, and John has made a second mention of "my friend, Wyatt", referring to Wyatt Cenac, who was on the Daily Show with him. On one hand, I think it's really great that they seem to be outside-of-work friends (as opposed to just "work friends"), because they're both hilarious. But on the other hand, now I'm even more depressed that Wyatt left the Daily Show a month or two ago. :smith:

I hope they still get to hang out with each other.

Another episode that the two of them go to Basketball games together. Also I think John will be there until he is forced to leave, given his own show, or is the new host.

I remember hearing that Wyatt pointed out all the black people sitting in their section had brought white guys with glasses.

But really that Norwegian gig sounded top-notch indeed.

Oh and by the way. Some poo poo is seriously about to hit the fan. Because:

British government to apologize to former colony over things Britain did in the past

I can see the queue from here.

I was just listening to the show where they talked about the Amritsa (sp?) massacre and the Koh-i-noor diamond. I love it when John hears the stories and cracks up, saying "We were cartoon villains!"

That pun run was like cumming after a long dry spell. Its the reaction from the others that makes it.

I love it when John detects an incoming pun run. Also when he warns that Andy still has another one ready to go. :allears:

John Oliver's story about Quest Love was amazing.

John's mentioned Quest Love by name a few times before -- are they personal friends, or is it just that John loves his name?

If you want to watch/support John's show, but don't get HBO, the first episode is on YouTube!

It's good, but it's just unsettling to look at John with carefully combed hair. He's not the same person if he's not all disheveled.

Terrible news, fellow Buglers: The Bugle is going on a break until September.

Well, poo poo.

I'm not mad at them, because I know I'd be unlikely to have lots of time for a podcast if I were in John's position. I just wish I could get more out of these guys.

Here's the video of the shoplifting bit that John talks about at the beginning of this week's episode: https://vid.me/ULhc

That was pretty awesome, but how did a high-school teacher get twenty-eight thousand dollars to donate to charity?

The reason there was no Bugle last week is because John went to Moscow and interviewed Edward Snowden instead.

So much great stuff here, although I think my favorite is the shot of the old KGB building through the window. I'm so happy for John; I was worried he would be doing a not-as-good copy of the Daily Show when he left for HBO. :allears:

When did it go from being "kah-TAR" to "cutter"? I've even been hearing that from non-Britishers.

It was already monthly anyway, I'm just glad it's not cancelled.

Agreeing with this sentiment. I want more Bugle, but Last Week Tonight is great, and it's great that John's having success with it, so I can't complain very hard.

Rory Albanese was on the most recent episode of Harmontown. He drank some fan-made absinthe and hoo boy, basically turned into The American.

Other Bugle connections: a brief mention of John's piece on transgender rights, and some really lovely puns.

Bugle update, John is formally leaving The Bugle and Andy will be going alone with guest hosts. Doesn't sound like its going to be the usual UK panel show crew though. Wyatt Cenac and Sarah Zaltzman named as confirmed guests.

So the Bugle is still alive. Sort of.

Wyatt Cenac is great. I hope they have him on a lot.

Andy's sister Hellen's podcast The Allusionist is great btw

She puts on the most amazing '70s late-night disk jockey voice for that show. I love it. (Also, the things she says are cool and interesting.)

If you've enjoyed hearing Helen on the podcast, she's got two of her own, which are both worth listening to (although neither of them are political). "Answer Me This" and "The Allusionist" :thumbsup:

i was trying to think back to when I heard a weirder ad on a podcast and then I remembered years ago they were shilling historically accurate replica military helmets.

If I listened to that ad while drunk, I would seriously consider a pickelhaube. (Those are the WWI German helmets with one spike on top.) :black101:
