Trevor's was fake, Rand Paul's was real. They even alluded to it that during the interview

That was a genuinely funny moment from Rand.

Well, a Lenape (a tribe not from the area and not someone from the Oneida tribe represented in the seal) activist was unhappy with it.

It's cool that you think it's racist or looks racist or whatever. And I just think people from outside their community that don't know what they are talking about should mind their own business.

You really think that concept flies in 2016, years after the information revolution?

Most of the country is aware of Whitesboro and their racist-rear end seal.

Golden Girls was actually a decent show for its time, right?

It's not one of those lovely shows that people keep looking back on fondly like Full House or Saved by the Bell?

I'm hoping Samantha Bee's new show will have some biting political humor because she was pretty drat good on The Daily Show but I have no idea what her show is actually going to be like

e: oops probably the wrong thread

Probably, but we all love Samantha Bee here :D

I've been really enjoying the Daily Show lately, y'all are weird. Ronnie's bit on the last episode had me in tears, and he didn't mention his father once!

Also I'm kinda glad Stewart quit before he turned into late-period Carlin.

The only negative thing you can say about late-era Carlin was that he died. :colbert:

Another week of The Daily Show, and its saving grace, Roy Wood Jr., comes through again. I wish I didn't watch Full Frontal first because it amplified all of the boring bits in TDS this week (every part that Roy Wood Jr. wasn't a part of). If anyone still hasn't watched Sam Bee's new show, I implore you to. I laughed more in that one show than in the last couple weeks of TDS.

Thank God John Oliver comes back this weekend.

Gotta catch up, but I'll agree Full Frontal is very worth your time!

Looks like there's a Jon Stewart hit piece going around blaming The Daily Show for the rise of Donald Trump. Because that's the reason Trump's doing so well. I'm won't bother linking to it, because you can probably guess how it plays out.

Well, those who were waiting for Trevor to ask the tough questions, there you go.

The man's enough of a true believer that it doesn't matter, but still, good effort.

That was a fantastic interview. Yeah, some of Trevor's interviews have been awkward. That was great, I'm absolutely looking forward to more. Viva la Daily Show!

I dunno, Full Frontal doesn't seem a whole lot of a departure from her Daily Show material. Which I mean is good, but not like mind blowing spectacular or anything. I rank her a close second to John Oliver. She does have the best remote bits though.

Her bit about Susan G. Komen funding drill tips for fracking was so great, though? I think Full Frontal is actually more biting than anything TDS did.

Also what I saw of the whitehouse press dinner Larry was characteristically about as funny as terminal cancer and Obama was the funny one... and landed a sick burn on CNN too.

If Obama started a standup career, I'd go see him. Dude's funny as hell. You've seen his 2011 WHCD?

I'm not sure what it means when Michael Steele doesn't sound like a complete doofus anymore compared to the rest of the GOP. But whatever it means can't be good.

The GOP has become incredibly doofy since Steele started, he basically had success from doing nothing.

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.

Can we just assume Ailes harassed every female personality at Fox News at this point?

Yeah, I never thought I'd be able to say I support Andrea "America is AWESOME" Tantaros but, according to a TYT video, she actually pushed back before Carlson came out. Good on them.

I like Trevor Noah, but I've been having Daily Show fatigue a bit more lately. I'd like to say it started with Jessica leaving (which is arbitrary as hell, considering all the talent that has left show including Jon Stewart himself), but I'm getting a little bit more impatient with the show despite mostly liking all the correspondents still. I keep feeling like there's something that should be said about the 2016 election that should be said or articulated but hasn't, despite how much has been said. To be fair, I don't think Jon Stewart could have unpacked it either.

Wait, haven't you heard? Donald Trump wants to gently caress his daughter.

I agree with this, except I do think Jon would have unpacked the point by now. I think Trevor is just lacking that insight, as much as his Daily Show has been great.

If you haven't heard, btw, Cosby, who is finally on trial for one of his rapes, has been playing up the "frail old man" angle for sympathy and claims to be completely blind now (although he has had keratoconus for years.)

Luckily, he can be blind and a giant piece of poo poo.

It's nice having never watched The Cosby Show, I didn't have to deal with any real affection for his work as these allegations came forward.

This Colbert show started a tiny bit fun, but it very, very quickly became dour. This is not fun to watch, but I think the real news would be worse.

Right, I know what it means, and it doesn't make sense in this context. If you feel you were treated unfairly, how does it make you a "special snowflake" to say you were treated unfairly? Or that not doing so (but totally doing so) is somehow "standing your ground"?
Also, what does that have to do with liberals at all in anything other than an ARTduck fashion? It's like she is some kind of right wing Markov chain given flesh.

Oh, sorry, I didn't understand your confusion. Her rhetoric is literally too dumb for you to grasp. I honestly think that's it, and it speaks to a certain audience.
