Disagreed. Roy is my favorite correspondent, but I think you need someone with a more middle-of-the-road style as host.

Yeah, the host is always the straight man who allows the correspondents to go wild, it's fundamental to the show.

Other correspondents have made it funny before, by being less blunt about it (not going on for so long or specifically naming the Daily Show). Colbert used to do rants that started about one thing and ended up about his personal issues all the time.

Surprised there isn't more love being shown for Neil deGrasse Tyson dropping science all over the place. His mic drop was amazing.

This thread doesn't seem to like admitting it watches the Nightly Show. Still, that was pretty great.

All the Kardashian arguments I've ever seen eventually boil down to "Too many people like them, and I can't see why, so they shouldn't", which isn't going to convince me they're awful garbage people. I guess I'm lucky enough that her fans mostly stay out of my hair, though.

The design schedule doesn't care whose picture is on the bill, it cares about resistance to counterfeiting. The 20 is pretty good in this area and other bills are weaker so they get handled first.

When does the show start tonight? Are they going to start the show after the convention is over, or is it cancelled, or what?

According to the bottom bar right now, the show will start once Trump finishes his speech, which I guess is still happening.

With these harassment revelations, Roger Ailes turned Megyn Kelley, Gretchen Carlson, and Andrea Tantaros into sympathetic figures. The world has turned upside down since Jon left.

Didn't Jon do a bit about Gretchen Carlson (or one of them) about how she used to be intelligent and talented and tragically had to suppress it all after becoming just another blonde news bimbo?

I dunno, I kinda remember Colbert doing almost the same jokes about the same topics kinda frequently.

They definitely didn't coordinate to make sure that didn't happen

Sometimes they found different stories to cover but when something really major happened they had no choice but to both talk about it. Usually they tried to at least make different jokes.

It reminds me of 2000, when the Daily Show hilariously called their election segment "INDECISION 2000." I remember the first new episode after the election. Jon said casually that they thought they'd just have a few laughs and call it "Indecision 2000," because that'd be a funny play on words. Then he said something along the lines of, "we didn't know you'd take the idea and run with it."

The Nightly Show subtitled their segments "America's Last Election" :tinfoil:

Yeah, President Trump For Realsies is just not a funny concept. Plus we're stuck in a sort of purgatory where he hasn't actually done anything yet but the entire left sphere (which includes virtually all comedy) is continuously panicking over possibilities and implications, which is also not funny.

Also, I'm not liking the Treasury pick even though he's one of the more "normal" picks.

I agree, but it's a healthy sort of "this person will make decisions I disagree with" dislike and not a maddening "this person will wreck critical pillars of American society" dislike that some of the others merit.

The current thread title is pretty old and not that funny nowadays, it should be changed to "Dammit, Andrew, why are you so woke?"

Or use that for a 2017 thread if there's going to be a new one.

I find it hard to blame Obama for anything that didn't get done when every other branch of the government presented a united front against him.
