I like the Nightly Show and it's a welcome change from Colbert, which I miss greatly.

But that anti-vaxxer pissed me off so much.

Wilmore has been crushing it lately. The show had gotten off to a rocky start but it's clear when he talks about the issues that matter to him (inequality, racism), he absolutely shines.

I started watching on the very first episode with Craig Kilborn so I would love to see him show up.

My biggest regret in life is never attending a taping.

How do you think I feel? I LIVE in NYC and never went to a taping.

Saw Colbert a few times though.

I like @midnight but only when funny comedians are on it. Which is only sometimes.

Larry needs your views he's amazing. :colbert:

Larry started off weak (which should be expected for any show--remember Stewart sucked in 1999 too) but he's really been killing it lately.

Ron Funchess is usually pretty good. These ones are... not good.

Ron Funches is usually funny on this show, and so is Whitney Cummings. The two times Jim Norton was on were both great too.

EDIT: Nikki Glazer too.

So holy poo poo, I just read about Wyatt Cenac's comments not too long ago. I totally didn't get why his segment on the show was so awkward but now I get it in context.

That was the joke but also Wyatt has said people took his interview wildly out of proportion and there is no actual bad blood between them at all.

I'm sure they patched things up but after hearing the actual interview and hearing Wyatt talk about it, it's pretty obvious there was at least a little bit of bad blood there. I imagine he's saying "the media is blowing it out of proportion" because they're cool now and he doesn't want to piss on Jon's final days.

Really looking forward to Trevor's Daily Show. I started with Kilborn (since the very first episode!) and I was there for Jon Stewart's transition, so this one will be just as fun to witness.

Also I think I'm the only person in the universe that likes The Nightly Show.

Trevor has a little bit more venom in his jokes than Jon. The Whitney Houston and California jokes were kinds I wouldn't think to hear Jon say.

Still, I remember when Jon took over for Craig, he pretty much kept the format the same in the beginning (for years, in fact). I wonder how Trevor will change the show over time.

Jon had a whole segment where a guy ran around wasting water cackling about the drought in California.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

I know I've defended the Nightly Show before, and I still like it and I still like Larry (and Mike Yard, he's funny).

But that Bill Nye panel was just loving awful and inexcusable.

Phew, that episode was a lot stronger than the last. Trevor's take on Monopoly was funny, they had way better material for tearing into the world's worst brain surgeon and Hassan's segment was really interesting and had a great ending. And Trevor only did the giggle thing once!

Maddow interview was basically fun too, but I find her disingenuous and don't like her much, so...

Did we watch the same episode? I think I completely missed the Monopoly thing.

I LOVED Trevor's subtle throwback in his joke to Murdoch about Twitter though. That was great and made me laugh out loud at work.

Trump supporters are fascist pricks, racist shitheads, and the biggest goddamn idiots on the face of the planet. I'm just calling it like I see it, sorry that I'm not sorry that it offends your delicate politically correct sensibilities. Go cry in your safe space if that offends you.

The worst part of that whole thing is you KNOW it wasn't edited to make them look that way. That is just awful.
