He was only not a fat piece of poo poo for a little while, and returned to being a fat piece of poo poo after everyone stopped taking him seriously as a presidential candidate.

It sure is fun watching his fat rear end die on camera here though.

I can't imagine a world where this show lasts more than a year, the panel discussion format is a horrible idea and has been painfully unfunny. Not in a "jokes aren't landing" way, in a "these people think they are on MSNBC" way.

It'd be a fine show there, but it doesn't make sense on this network in this timeslot.

It's the classic Republican tactic of pretending they are all "Washington outsiders" who are all salt-of-the-earth even though most of them are millionaires that have been in office for half a century, and assuming their voting base is retarded enough to buy it.

I kind of hope so - that last segment was actually kind of funny, and I'd like to see more like that. The middle part was horrible.

Why? There are like 20 different panel-format news shows on the various news channels every day. Why can't it work? I remember when Colbert Report started and people were saying "there's no way he's going to be able to keep up the faux-Bill O'Reilly schtick for long!"

Personally I think this first episode was pretty good/funny, and what will hold it up will be the quality of the writing, not the chosen format to parody.

This isn't a parody show. It's just Politically Incorrect. Which is fine, but every discussion feels truncated and will always seem poorly edited.

Wilmore doesn't have the advantage of having a pre-crafted "character" like Colbert did, so I think he might need some time for the show to find a groove. Hopefully the show manages to hang in there until that happens, but it's not as though they have anything better to replace it either way.

I don't like when the guests all have to one-up each other and try to be both funny and intelligent-sounding at the same time. Shows like Tough Crowd annoyed me because sometimes the comedians would just spout off edgy comedy off the top of their head even if what they were saying was horrible garbage.

I guess I just expected the "scripted conversations with correspondents" style of The Daily Show.

I liked it. I don't mind the panel format, though maybe not for 2/3 of the show. With the right mix of comedians and more serious guests it has the potential to be interesting and funny. Keep it 100 was interesting too but I'd be worried about it scaring away some guests.

But hey it's the first show and I doubt every show will be all panel discussion.

Haven't been able to view the episodes yet, though based on comments, I'm gonna ask: The States wouldn't happen to have any kjnd of equivalent to Have I Got News For You or Mock the Week, would it? Because panel formats for satire actually have a set precedent over here.

I just watched The Nightly Show on Hulu. So it's there.

I'll see how the show goes. I could do with or without the panel format. I'd like to see a panel of comedians address Cosby and actually talk about whatever unofficial rules exist for going after other comedians.

I know it's far from the biggest race issue out there, but I want to see Larry Wilmore go after the Oscars and Hollywood more for their poo poo too.

I liked it. I'll give it a fair shot. Having the graphic in the lower corner was a little distracting though, since it caused my eyes to focus on his hands, and how they barely moved.

The middle panel section was the only part of that I didn't like. It seemed like it was being played pretty much straight, but in such a short format it's even worse than usual because there isn't time for people to really talk. Both versions of the Keep it 100 thing were funny though. Hopefully they can figure out a better balance in the future.
