The Daily show has sucked for a while now. What used to be smart jokes about the assholes running the country is now John Stewart performing sketch comedy with hand puppets

Protip: the actual show is named "Better Call Saul" .... you were probably watching a lovely fan-made (goon-made?) "love letter"

I should check that out. I like politics and news and I like humor (humour) but the Daily Show is so lazy and braindead

This interview with John Oliver is a really, really good intro to his show.

Also I was right behind the Nightly Show right up to the point where they wheeled out the wizened husk of Penn Jillette to join the panel discussion. I genuinely love Penn & Teller's magic shows and Bullshit! but for gently caress's sake don't ask him to share his political opinions on anything.

I limit the entirety of my television viewing to Barney Miller reruns, that one episode of Taxi where the cab stand gets a Pac Man machine and the opening credits song to Maude.

my favorite bit fromt he Nightly show was when they asked a crippled woman if she had the chance to walk and not be crippled but she'd have to be fat she was all like "lol no, gently caress fat people" right next to a fat activist who was all "I'm fat, it's who I am"

being cripplied and disabled > being fat

You see, but you do not observe.

Jon Stewart is clearly done with the Daily Show, he's been coasting for the past few years

probably burned out on lovely politics from both sides

he actually had a legitimate reason to be on that panel and all the things he said were fairly reasonable. he made some good points
