I don't know how its ratings compared to Larry Wilmore's in that same time slot, but if it was comparable, I thought the show was safe. Clearly, it was not.

If that time slot does not go to another Stewart-era TDS alum or Kobi Libii, I'll take this opportunity to cut my bloated talk show diet.

I'm now down to Noah, Colbert, Oliver, and Robin Thede. If anyone here hasn't checked out The Rundown, it's way better than Nightly. I still haven't seen Michelle Wolf or Wyatt Cenac's shows.

Wyatt Cenac's show is honestly pretty amazing in it's deep dive into American policing.

A lot of the parts of The Nightly Show were better than the whole.

Some of the comedy skits.. just kind of sucked. I liked very few of the Ricky Velez skits.

It gave me Franchesca Ramsey. I will forever be thankful for that, I didn't know about her before. All of her stuff was pretty amazing.

The panel was.. usually the worst. Sometimes they'd have on great guests, but no one every got time to really say anything. A snippet here, and there, and boom. Moving on. And some people just had trash opinions, and there wasn't enough time to really refute those ideas. They they had on good guests, they never had enough time to really explain. It was just too short of a segment to be of any good.

I love most of the Daily Show's corespondents.

Roy Wood Jr. always puts out quality pieces, as does Hasan.

I feel, lately, Noah's been really heavily relying upon his Trump Voice. Yeah, there's a lot of Trump stuff, but we need a fresher way to tackle some of this stuff. Some new bits.
