    TDS & TCR often had similar cracks back to back. At least now you need change the channel ;).

    Despite the sarcasm there, that's a sentiment to which I genuinely like. :p

    Now it's really just one more, isn't it?
    Daily Show, Nightly Show, Late Show.
    And Last Week Tonight.

    Jon Stewart's divided himself in four parts. We may come out with more than one whole Stewart just yet.

    "@"midnight often covers similar territory as well and is basically the anchor for that block now too, even if it's Nerdist and not Stewart.

    If I remember my Banach-Tarski paradox right, one more part and we'll get two Stewarts.

    Second episode was better than the first. His interview was also not as painful to watch--it was actually quite enjoyable imo.

    Plus his coverage of how Americans help finance ISIS through black market purchases of their plundered artifacts delivered the sort of punch to the US gut that Stewart sometimes did.

    Thanks Nightly Show for having two morons as guests up with Bill Nye.

    I don't watch the Nightly Show. Is it part of the routine for the panelists to be irreverent, cracking jokes, or are they supposed to be at least semi-serious, like on Bill Maher's show?

    I haven't watched in a while, but the panels were always insufferable. It did tend to be the "expert" guest being yelled over by "comedian" panelists trying to crack stupid jokes.

    I'm catching up. The comparison of Donald Trump to various African presidents is damn funny.

    And I just found out that there's an anti-pumpkin-spice activist in my city. To hell with whoever that is. *sips pumpkin ale*

    Also, the addendums about gun control to all the statements from anti-choicers about "life being precious", and the comparison to comic book collectors...just awesome.

    I like the Nightly Show and normally the panels don't bother me. But I have to say, the Mars panel was staggeringly bad. Poor Bill Nye. What a couple of insufferable morons. They deserve to have all technology they own that was invented because of the space program taken away from them forever.

    Sadly, though, I do think it's somewhat representative. I don't know how many people I know who say, "Who cares about funding NASA when we've got problems here on earth?" As if spending a small amount of money on exploration is insane. Because exploring the earth never led to anything advantageous, right? So why would exploring and studying the universe do so?

    In the Nightly Show, Mike Yard is funny.
    In the Daily Show, Jordan Klepper is funny.
    The hosts.. I'll give them time.

    I cringed at the Mars segment too.

    The Zombie Ben Carson segment was priceless though. I wonder if the Mars one, only the second episode, was Noah finding his niche.

    The prison segment was also hilarious. 'There is no game in Africa in which the players go to jail for fun.'

    Only saw first 2 eps, still feels like the Daily Show which is good but with a fill-in host to me. Not a bad fill in host, just odd. I'm sure I'll be more on the trolley in the weeks leading up to the election.

    Seven years and didn't manage to deliver anything particularly funny or insightful once.

    I’m a big Trevor Noah fan and I am sad.

    I can forgive quite a bit if Roy Wood Jr. takes over. Jordan Klepper would be OK, especially if he does a lot of on-location shows at Trump rallies, but Roy is my first choice.

    I think my favorite segment over the past several years is the live show covering the 2016 election. As soon as Trump was called as the winner, Trevor said, “So what do we do now?” and Roy said, “We can smoke weed in Massachusetts.”

    I never watched his show religiously but in the bits that I did see, he was good and made his points across. Definitely better than Larry Wilmore. Wilmore just couldn't let Bill Cosby's story go, and that's pretty much what did him in.

    Trevor Noah was trash. Good riddance.

    Unfunny, condescending, and duplicitous.
