Guest quality has dramatically gone up and is getting less fluff but Stewart was also plagued with that poo poo early on as well.

It's a different show and has been with Trevor from day one. But it's also been pretty good since day one.

Well it was definitely quiet this week because there were no new shows this week, only clip shows. When there are new episodes there are usually a few posts.

Black Twitter is the only redeeming part of Twitter.

The rest is either an alt-right/gamergate shithole or white Hillary supporters and white Bernie supporters fighting over who's more woke.

Twitter is what you make of it. I use it primarily to follow sports and friends and it's great for that.

His last special was a lot of talk about American politics and I guess he's continuing with that.

I think you should leave your dad alone. He's set in his ways and someone that watches Fox News on a regular basis isn't interested in the daily show or what they have to say and will just rebut anything the daily show says with misinformation from a more "reputable" (to them) source.

Just don't talk politics and enjoy that relationship with your dad.

I'm as far left as the come and pointing out that the violence by antifa is "the wrong thing to do" is not a problem at all. I don't see where the daily show hosed up here.

It's some old stand-up comedy clip because nothing says "I am actually in support of something" like joking about it.

I'm not seeing a "blue lives matter" angle there. I'm seeing a "if you charge police with weapons what do you expect" angle.

It was also 5 years ago and in South Africa for a South African audience so I'd consider context.

Or I guess one could just talk poo poo too.

He wasn't saying they deserved it. He wasn't saying the police were right in what they did. He was criticizing the people asking why it happened the way it happened because really, what do you loving expect?

Yeah because the issue was that he wasn't defending antifa, not that he decided to punch down towards the front-line defense against loving nazis.

If our front-line defense against loving nazis is represented by people who randomly sucker-punch people and break windows for funsies I think we can do better.

Man if "Jones and Bee objectively opposed their school integrating" is unhinged to you, I don't know what the hell.

They opposed moving where their kid goes to school, not school integration, you loving muppet.

Good God you're special.

tevor noah had a 5 minute long standup bit about killing striking miners

His bit was about how that incident was covered in the international press and about how there was more nuance to it than "killing striking miners"

He was also not saying that killing the miners was the right thing to do, it was more like "of course they killed the miners, what did you loving expect?"

He just extremely failed to do this in Alabama, so there's that.

He failed to get the guy he endorsed but he doesn't really know what he's doing and the guy that won is more on his side anyway, so I wouldn't really say Alabama was a failure.

The nightly show was loving awful and the opposition’s gimmick has worn really thin.
