berserker posted:I've got it, you guys. Everything's going to be ok. This time next year: The Self-aware version of Carrot Top is actually pretty funny. Don't know if that would fit as a talk show host though. It would be interesting to see if Comedy Central would look towards some lesser knowns or even the podcast community for people to fill in. Really, the writers are the ones going to create the most content, its just up to the host to sell it properly. The biggest skill a new host needs, and what Colbert and Stewart excelled at, is the ability to interview people. It would at least be interesting to see someone like Marc Maron, who is a really good interviewer, get a shot. Aasif would be a good option too. Of course, the only one we have actually seen in the chair is John Oliver, and there is obviously a difference between the corespondent role and the main host. Jon more often than not is playing the straight man, which requires a lot of skill to bounce between the two.

IRQ posted:Watching the Nightly Show, I'm not sure why, Larry, between you and all of your writers nobody bothered to learn the name of the tv character you're comparing Hillary to? I know this is incredibly nit picky but he's basically saying Secretary of State has announced she is running for President, oh that silly woman named Secretary of State! Khaleesi is a title you unfunny bastard. True, you don't want people confusing her with the other Khaleesi on the show.

Neeksy posted:What happened this time? I missed everything tonight. Just the general attack on the ESPN employee for railing against a tow truck employee. 1. Its not actual news, the entire story was an employee of ESPN being a dick to a tow truck employee. 2. I am a huge sports fan and I have barely heard of said employee, so its not like a loving A or B or even C lister doing it. 3. The footage is heavily edited and only shows her reactions, not what the employee says or does, even in the raw footage that was shopped by the tow truck employee for a week before this came out. 4. gently caress all tow truck employees categorically. They deserve that poo poo. edit: I feel like my points would be the ones pointed out by the Daily Show and Wilmore is just going for cheap laughs and poo poo. I gave him the benefit of the doubt on the death penalty thing, because I feel like you can bring an alternative view to the popular one and still have a an intelligent argument. This was the last time I watch TNS go after someone for the sole cause of public opinion. Its antithetical to what the daily show ever did. All they are doing is Hulk Hoganing, holding their hand to their ear and listening to the audience cheer them on with out any nuance or delineation of the facts. swickles fucked around with this message at 07:59 on Apr 21, 2015 |

I was definitely in elementary school the first time I was left home alone, and expected to come home to an empty house. If I didn't ride my bike home, I would walk more than three bocks (probably like a half mile or 3/4 mile) to my parents restaurant after school. I was probably 9 at the time, give or take a year. I wouldn't trust a 6 year old to do that. Maybe after a couple trial runs at age 7 or 8 I would feel comfortable. But yeah, there is a difference between "free range" and letting your kid figure it out with no guidance and what I did. I still think some parents think their kids have to be 15 before they are left unsupervised for any period of time which is pretty crazy.

Tatum Girlparts posted:Yea obviously giving your kids freedom is objectively a good thing for their development, the main issue is her focusing on 'well odds are they won't be literally raped sooooo ya know....' and doing absurd poo poo like blaming 'indoor culture' for depression and poo poo. My main issue was that they got the most easily flustered shrink ever apparently, and boiled her point of 'nah I don't agree' down to 'OH SO I BET YOU WANT TO LOCK THEM ALL UP YOU IDIOT'. True, but on the other hand if your job is to convey people on the proper techniques to raising children (or anything really) and you are really bad at relaying your information, then you probably shouldn't have that job.

Didn't the rights change around when the region restricted access went up? I remember Comedy Central used to show SNL reruns and then in like 2000 or 2001 they stopped because Viacom bought CC and they could only show Mad TV. Considering how convoluted licensing rights are, I imagine it wasn't so much an error of "whoops, forgot we weren't supposed to show this abroad!" and more like the consequnce of the rights shifting from one entity to another.

kayakyakr posted:Fairly low-key set of guests for a final 12. Paul Rudd is always funny on the Daily Show, plus Ant-Man is opening. Coates will be a really good get, probably the best writer/journalist right now. Can't think of the last time a journalist was as popular as he is. Gylenhall is kind of meh though, what new movie does he have coming out?

Jake Gyllenhaal has kind of had a career renaissance playing just extremely creepy, destructive characters in Enemy, Nightcrawler, and Prisoners. He's awesome. Oh yeah thats right. They have been hyping the poo poo out of that movie, like every movie I have gone to lately has a mini-featurette on that film before the previews and such with "an exclusive first look".

I haven't seen tonight's episode, but based on the slow burn of facts leaking I almost think its a conscience decision to wait a few days to get the most bang for their buck rather than revisiting every night.

I like Wilmore because it fills in the gap nicely between TDS and @midnight (which has been kind of down lately, but thats mostly due to the guests they have and not any writing/hosting abilities). Its going to be interesting to see the numbers once we get a Stewart-less TDS and Wilmore back to back.

Echo Chamber posted:Obviously, there's bigger things to mock than Hollywood, but the half hour Nightly spent mocking Ben was nice piece of fresh air compared to "people shouldn't say bad things about celebrities" vibe I get from Jon Stewart or Jimmy Kimmel sometimes. You also have to respect that once things get to a certain size, like The Daily Show, that there is a significant business aspect to it. If you want to get top tier celebrities you can't go full on bashing mode unless the story gets to Cosby like levels. Its definitely a lovely aspect of the business, but I feel like as long as you aren't doing that with real news then its ok. Whitewashing a celebrity gossip bit really is nothing in the scheme of things.

Chromatic posted:I agree but I think Stewart got to a point around 2008ish where he was big enough and had enough clout to go after celebrities without much fallback. Sure, Affleck would probably throw a bitchfit and not come on the show anymore but who cares? Because its kind of a non-story. He doesn't cover celebrity gossip unless its particularly funny or crazy.

Highlights of the finale were Colbert's thank you, Oliver's "what the gently caress is a commercial?", and the enemies farewell. I would be interested to see a comparison between The Daily Show and SNL in terms of launching talent. Obviously SNL has launched more, but it would be neat to see a per capita type analysis between 1999 and now in terms of who has launched more careers.

Irish Joe posted:It seems weird that Berkeley asks for your parents' income statements on admission applications. When I applied to college, they just wanted to know my GPA and SAT scores, and I remember being at a distinct disadvantage having gone to a private school with high standards because my GPA was like a full point lower than it would have been if I went to a public school. I went to an a really competitive high school, they would give out a class ranking as well as a county ranking of where you compared to all the kids in the school district. I think my year the top 20 in the class were in the top 25 for the county.

The first time I saw a selfie stick was at an amusement park and at the time I thought it was pretty clever, that way you don't have to ask random strangers to take pictures of you and your friends/family at every photo op. I honestly haven't seen them outside of a place where people are expecting to take lots of photos (tourist spots) so I am ok with it. In fact, as someone who lives in a touristy area I can't remember the last time I was stopped and asked to take a picture of a group and I used to get asked all the time. So yeah, I am now firmly pro-selfie stick.

Veryslightlymad posted:Early interviews are gonna be weak because the guest will be interviewing him as much as vice versa. Honestly, for a first show that was really, really good. He needs to cut down or cut out the physical comedy bits, though. I don't think he's that kind of a comedian. That was actually the feeling I got from the interview, they put on a guy who was a veteran and pro at the late night circuit, so even if Noah had problems, Hart would easily pick up any slack because of his experience. Tomorrow they have a CEO of a tinder knockoff, someone who doesn't have the experience of an established Hollywood celebrity, so this will be interesting to see. They really remove the safety net fast, you think they would do kind of what they did with Colbert, just a bunch of famous people who are super experienced at this type of thing

Carson spoke at my graduation and its so strange to see him now. Aside from crazy view points, the way he speaks is drastically different. He was very passionate and engaging, telling stories about the first time attempting various surgeries (not his first time, the first time anyone had attempted!) and about his life and career. He only briefly mentioned his faith, and more as a secondary thing, not a preachy thing (I think it was something about how he got over some difficulty, that he reflected and prayed). So to see him now, speaking in such a mundane, almost bored fashion and looking drugged half the time espousing crazy non-sense that you would think a renowned surgeon would find ridiculous, its like a completely different person.
