I liked it fine overall, but my early thoughts are that "keep it 100" is a real waste of time to do with the panel every night, but if it becomes like the moment of zen that could totally work.

The panel thing is growing on me, while keep it 100 is going in the opposite direction. It's not a terrible bit exactly, but having it be both the third act and the closing segment every single day is not going to work.

raditts posted:I'm trying to figure that out myself, that entire episode felt like a waste of everyone's time. After the anti-vax episode I'm wondering if this is just going to be his MO. Have someone with bad opinions in the front left seat and refuse to call them out. I get that his is a new show and that eviscerating the opposing opinion could make it hard to get them on the show but come on. The big fluffy kid gloves he's handling them with only get even more starkly apparent when keepin' it 100 is blatantly not keeping it 100 with bullshit softball questions to the one panelist.

I don't see the problem, at least someone saying they voted for Obama because he's a republican are being both honest with themselves and with what Obama really is. Just because the Koch brothers don't agree, he still has corporate spronk posted:This "keep it 100" stuff just feels so forced and dumb, especially the last episode where it was involved in pretty much everything he talked about the whole episode. Is this some new college thing or is he honestly trying to make this a new thing? As I said very early on, and it's still early on, the keep it 100 poo poo is terrible as a nightly thing, and could maybe work as a The Word type thing, but TNS keeps doubling down on it. I really hope someone steps in and talks some sense, because I'm very close to turning off TNS after the panel like I do/did with TDS and Colbert for the interview most of the time.

Also a PETA board member and an anti-GMO nutbar who just weeks ago tried to get an actual doctor to admit the flu shot is bullshit because this year it was only 70% effective. The flu shot is based on what the medical community thinks will be the major strains that year, Maher knew this and continually tried to make it sound like the shot is based on voodoo or the president of science throwing darts at a board.. Bill Maher is an idiot. His show can be decent when he's on topics I agree with him about.

I don't want to be reminded how I became a Libertarian because of Bullshit and a community college Philosophy class I'm at a total loss as to how Penn Jillette is relevant to a "designer babies" discussion other than he should never be allowed to name a baby. But then again a "designer babies" discussion is completely on rails anyway so whatever. Cue the Gattica references and the vague disease gene points.

Had to happen eventually. Maybe Rosewater was his career move, it was only just ok, but whatever. No idea how CC can replace him though, and Jason Jones/Sam Bee are practically the 2008 John McCain of it just being Their Turn to take the helm, so I fully expect it to be them doing it Weekend Update style or something. Which I have mixed feelings about. And I'm still not sold on The Nightly Show's format (the black fatherhood episode is how you should do them all).

GreenNight posted:When Stewart first started, people were wondering who this motherfucker from MTV blew to get the gig. It'll be interesting to see who gets picked. Yep. I remember thinking that nobody could possibly be as good as Craig Killborn and who the gently caress is this Jon Stewart guy? Then again, 16 years of Stewbeef is a lot more to live up to than 2 years of what in retrospect was kind of just ok. But I'm willing to give whoever a chance, as long as it's not Hardwick. In other news, we're old.

Bass Bottles posted:I thought SE Cupp actually had the best answer to the anti-vaxxer question out of anyone. Shame and ostracize people who don't get vaccines. Seriously, making me feel anything positive towards SE Cupp outside of a boner is pissing me off. The Nightly Show was something I really tried to give a chance to, but between the continued unwillingness to call bullshit for what it is, the continued total waste of time that is keeping it 100, the panels filled with idiots and lovely comedians Willmore is trying to give a break to, this is just turning out to be bad. I was thinking I'd ditch it for Late Night with Colbert when that comes on, but after this week I'm pretty sure. Maybe I should DVR Jimmy Kimmel for lunch viewing after TDS instead of TNS. I feel like I've given this show a fair shot. IRQ fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Feb 13, 2015 |

CSM posted:I've only watched the first Wilmore episode, is the rest just as bad? Nothing changes about the format, no. Some episodes were ok, but the fundamental problems the show has (keep it 100, southpark style "truth is in the middle" and Larry giving airtime to his "comedian" buddies panel casting, milquetoast toothless hosting) have thus far not been addressed at all. Based on the appearance of an EP on the last episode, it doesn't look like they realize that things aren't working.

I actually thought that episode was very lacking in not having a black mother to give some perspective.

To his credit, keeping it 100 seems to be largely being left out lately. It doesn't help with the not very good writing and the laughing at his own jokes parts though.

raditts posted:Speaking of which, why did he quit answering questions at the end of the episode? He still says that people should post on Twitter or whatever, but what's the point in that if all you're going to get is other dipshits on Twitter reading your dumb comments. I think they're ostensibly going to be questions for the next panel. How true that is is open to interpretation. Either way, I give him credit for seemingly reconsidering keep it 100, although I still don't think the show works very well overall, but it's better.

When Stewbeef leaves CC is going to be in pretty dire straits unless the new guy/gal hits it out of the park.
