I can't imagine a world where this show lasts more than a year, the panel discussion format is a horrible idea and has been painfully unfunny. Not in a "jokes aren't landing" way, in a "these people think they are on MSNBC" way.

It'd be a fine show there, but it doesn't make sense on this network in this timeslot.

Maybe the format is a 1 time thing? I got a hard time believing they can get this many people to show up 4 times a week

I kind of hope so - that last segment was actually kind of funny, and I'd like to see more like that. The middle part was horrible.

That said, The Daily Show with Jessica Williams would own.

This is what I want more than anything in the world.

Even disregarding the notable facts that she's both black AND a woman, she's been the funniest person on the show for a year. except when kristen schaal shows up

This is the funniest thing that's been on The Nightly Show, and that's just because Mike Tyson is inherently hilarious.

Like, to the point that I want them to make The Nightly Show with Mike Tyson.

AVClub really went downhill after all of their good reviewers left for The Dissolve, but that's... that's really something.

I really loved that segment. First one for me that's gone past "it's nice to have the daily show back" to being impressed.
