I just watched Problematic with Moshe Kashner on Comedy Central. It had Anne Coulter and Lucian Wintrich, who spouted off their usual crackpot bullshit about mainstream media and its unfair crucification of Trump via The Liberal Bias. This is stupid, its playing right into the Fox News style.

Moshie Koshie may own, but his show sucks. It's Kasher, by the way, not Kashner. Probably just a typo on your part than not knowing his name, I imagine, with the amount of times we have to type Kushner nowadays.

Conspiracy time! Jimmy Norton used to be one of the hosts of Opie & Anthony, the show Trump and his spawnlings have been on enough times that it's where a lot of his 'from his interview in year 20XX on A RADIO SHOW...' quotes were sourced from. Jim Norton talks frequently of his childhood habits that involved urination. I would suggest that Trump enjoyed hearing the stories of Jim Norton having his mouth peed in/sniffing the soiled underroos of his schoolmates, and that was his primary motivation for appearing on the show.

Comedy Central does like money. They are trying to ride a non-existent sjw wave, or trying to recapture the magic that was the Daily Show (with Jon Stewart ofc).

I haven't seen Kasher's stand up (and can't even spell his name right) so I can't comment on him being hack, but Jim Jefferies is gd hilarious. That being said his show will probably suck.

I would sell my soul to have Jon Stewart and Colbert back for the Trump presidency. It would really make it worth it.

Moshe Kasher's got a weird stand-up style, because he talks a lot about his past. I'm forgetting some things, but the big points are: Orthodox Jewish parents who were deaf. Big into drugs and got clean at like loving 14 or something like that, so it's like with Jim Norton where it's obvious the wheels came off very early and cleaning up at that age meant that they weren't going to make it to loving 18 without severe interventions. Things like that lend themselves to making a hilarious person.

Jim Jefferies owns and his previous show, Legit, was fantastic. So he has showrunning experience and all, I don't see how he can gently caress it up unless Comedy Central puts too many creative restrictions on him. It seems like half the comedians they give shows to they try to force into the same format Jeselnik Offensive and Not Safe with Nikki Glaser were. To the same failed outcomes.

Does Comedy Central still give poo poo edgelord comedians TV shows in hopes to recapture the glory of Dave Chapelle?

I don't think anyone they've worked with even remotely qualifies as 'edgelord' since they canned Carlos Mencia and his poo poo show. They've actually been pretty good, even if they're too fickle and willing to can good shows relatively quickly. Aforementioned shows with Nikki Glaser and Anthony Jeselnik both only did 2 seasons, and were both fantastic. :( I think Larry Wilmore's show limped on for about that long, too, when the ratings and actual audience approval would've justified ending the run prematurely.

Tosh's stand-up is top-tier quality, though. Mencia has always been a hack, long before he was publicly outed as a material thief, and his show was just a rip-off of Chappelle's Show. Tosh.0 is just lazy and cheap. And a pretty remarkable hit because of his charisma. It's rare that anyone, especially the idiots at CC, stumble upon a cheap show that is popular.

Seriously, why are the Trumps dressed like they're going to a funeral when meeting the pope? Is it because of the Manchester attack? If so, that is really weird.

No. They think it's somehow respectful even though that custom has been done away with for a long time. Do you think Pope Francis, the most humble pontiff imaginable, cares if they dress as though their whole family just died in a big Sept-destroying wildfire explosion in King's Landing?

Dumb question, more of a 'hey, guys, what's everyone's take on...' than anything:

If collaborating with a foreign state to undermine an election and place a puppet in power in the highest office in the land is light treason, what ISN'T? I would argue that Trump has caused more damage than, say, someone who infiltrated the Army in order to get access and then turning around and mowing down an entire Army base full of personnel. Which is probably what we'd say high treason is.

Don't you rag on 4. 3 was pretty awful, but 4 had some great characters and moral bleakness that should permeate any civil war setting. Game spoilers: The Bad Guy had a totally good reason for starting being bad. The Good Guys are following the footsteps of a baby-murdering rear end in a top hat. The 'Good' Good Guy is a religious nutcase who consigns his neice (I forget if Sabal and the girl whose name I can't remember are related) to religious forced child marriage if he wins. The 'Grey' Good Guy Who's A Gal is a loving psycho who literally conscripts children to continue fighting their civil war while turning Kyrat into a narco-state.
