Writer's rooms are notoriously lovely places - egotists yelling across the room is pretty standard. Add in the fact that its a bunch of comedians who, due to the joke-by-joke format create a much more competitive environment... Add in the undeniable fact that Stewart is ultimately the guy who has to stand up in front of everyone and deliver the jokes AND get blamed for any blowback... Add in that Cenac clearly cracked under the pressure of trying to represent the entirety of the black experience on the show, regardless of how racially motivated the bit was... No easy answers here folks.

Dr. Citan Uzuki posted:God, Olivia Munn was just so awful... She's a much better actress than she ever was a correspondent. Which is a bit odd, I guess, considering the similarities. She was honestly hilarious on The Newsroom and one of the few reasons I watched all of that tripe.

She only did a couple segments though. Most of the corespondents take a while before they really get it. Very, very few of them come out of the gate killing it.

I'm kind of surprised Ted Cruz agreed to go on the show (he's tonight's guest). I also kind of hope the interview consists of Jon telling him that everything he says is bullshit.

Probably a good thing; I don't think I could sit through 12-13 minutes of Ted Cruz. E: The other guests match up with my TV line-up. Weird.

Someone probably pointed out to him that it would absolutely not help him get elected in any way whatsoever. After 16 years, someone finally realized that this is a fake news program.

I liked the bit in Rosewater where Jason Jones is sorta directing the interview... "I'm gonna ask you ___... Just stay deadpan." Makes me wonder how about a lot of the correspondent interviews and how those were put together.

It's too bad Billo refused the role in Shark-a-nado 3. That grunting segment was great. That was pretty much the same reaction I had to hearing that dumb poo poo coming out of Huckabee's fat loving mouth.

What the gently caress was Collin Quinn even saying? All I heard was blubbering about the pc police and comedy being killed by some nebulous bullshit  And there can never be enough segments on Cosby and his rapescapades.

Apparently Stewart has been to the White House a few times in a sort of consulting/persuasive capacity. Interesting article - it's more about Stewart's wide-ranging impact, but that's an intriguing aspect.

Interesting article - it's more about Stewart's wide-ranging impact, but that's an intriguing aspect. quote:“I’ll tell you, some Democrats are worried,” said Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat who says she was motivated to write her first book with the hope of being a guest on his show — only to find out it’s coming out five days after Stewart goes off the air. “He’s done a great thing for us reminding young people why the Republican Party is out of step.”  The Democratic party is so lovely at speaking to people that a late night comedian is literally their #1 campaign tool. Also, holy poo poo at Obama being so poorly thought out and lazy a policy maker that he'll immediately reverse course if Stewart tells him to. No wonder our economy is in the shitter when we have clowns like Obama and the Democrats running the country.

Preemptive "stop taking Irish Joe seriously" Also, panels are really annoying for the simple reason that nobody says what you'd think you'd want to say on the subject. When that doesn't happen, it's not cathartic for the audience. I'm all for calling out vicious bloggers who appear to not be acting in good faith. A lot of comedians seem like they don't want to hear "good faith" feedback though if it's tangentially related to sexism or racism. (I have UCB friends who express similar sentiment as Colin.) Obviously, you can debate what's in good faith or what's not. But I wish someone would point out that a lot of the complaints would have been decades ago if social media existed back then also. The problems people are now expressing aren't new. Also, it looks like Jon will be on Nightly tonight. Maybe it's about Wyatt Cenac. Or maybe it's a general exit interview.

Oh man the grunting segment on Monday's Daily Show was so great. Between that and the intro about Ted Cruz cancelling, that was the most "gently caress it why even write jokes at this point" episode I've seen thus far.
