Just caught up with The Opposition - I liked it. It's undeniably similar to the Colbert Report, but if Stephen doesn't want to do that schtick any more, I'm happy for someone else to have a go. And at any rate, Colbert was skewering who are now the old guard, while Klepper is satirising these new alt-right crazies. It's a subtle difference but an important one.

I do like the expansion of the "universe" with the correspondents and the other, fictional media outlets. As End Me Scoob mentioned above, the Milo bit was hilarious.

Yeah, I'm really enjoying the Opposition, it's a great show.

The Opposition's "Shopposition" Black Friday Sale being called the All Lives Friday Sale might be the funniest single joke I've heard in a long time.

That segment on Breitbart 'reporting' last night killed it, better than almost anything Nightly did.

Yeah, we can debate on whether the Opposition is better or worse than TDS, or the Colbert Report, or other late night shows, but it’s in a completely different league to The Nightly Show.

Kobi Libii’s report a few weeks ago where he confronted the Breitbart “reporter” was incredible.

Man, just found out about the Opposition. Really pissed off about it, it’s my favourite satire around at the moment. The whole cast were great too. I hope this new show is at least similar in tone.
