Holy shit did you guys see the Downton Abbey Breaking Bad crossover on Colbert?

 

[WillyFive]

Bye Wyatt! Minus one great correspondent....

What the hell is La Comay doing in the Daily Show.

Born and raised in PR and this is surreal.

Highest rated show ever?

I used to hate that show.

That was a great segment. I used to think it was such a ridiculous show, but Daily Show brought up a lot of great points about it that make other US news places seem like a joke.

 

[Danielsan]

John Oliver, Jason Jones, Samantha Bee and Wyatt Cenac (bye ;_ I think are worth keeping around.

Agreed. Love Oliver in particular. Aasif Mandvi and Al Madrigal have their moments as well. Though I can't get over how much Al Madrigal looks like Zach Braff with a diferrent skin tone.

 

[acheron_xl]

Losing Wyatt also sucks, because he and Oliver were the only two correspondents who were also on the writing staff. I wonder who's going to replace him?

I think there's a decent chance there's going to be a lot of correspondent turnover, actually. Jones and Bee have both been there a relative eternity, and Mandvi seems underused, in addition to having also been there a while.

Of course, Mandvi and Madrigal are good too.

 

[Raxus]

I find TDS really shines when they have guest correspondents. Larry Widmore and Jack Black were amazing. Sadly they appeared less and less this year.

It is hard to top their former correspondents and the new ones have their moments at least.

 

[Milabrega]

You mean Lewis Black? Yeah he is great as a guest correspondent. I'm a big fan of Larry Wilmore too.

 

[DarkKyo]

Can't believe Wyatt is gone.

 

[Cake Boss]

Damn this is going to mean more of that new girl now that Wyatt is gone.

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

The correspondent bits aren't as consistently fantastic as they used to be, still think they're pretty awesome though.

 

[zomaha]

back in black was one of my favorite segments, it's a shame he got so popular and can't contribute as much as before

 

[Aaron]

If John Stewart needs someone to take an outraged contrary opinion couldn't he just get some kind of sarcastic parrot? I hear Churchill's is still alive.

 

[Partial Gamification]

I returned to the post 9-11 segment and I feel so grateful to have this guy around.

The Show came up in another thread, wanted to put this here.

I'm also thankful to have his staff around too!

not to compare the two but i expect a similar tone from Stewart on Monday

 

[The Technomancer]

He won't be doing a show on Monday, off for the holidays.

 

[Jimothy]

They're off until mid January I think. Sucks.

 

[TheContact]

He won't be doing a show on Monday, off for the holidays.

ah, he needs a blog or something. i wonder if he twitters.

 

[spliced]

The correspondent bits mostly aren't very good although I will admit they have been slightly better lately. But the bottom line is Stewart is the best guy on the show and that's who I want to see, especially when all they do is four 30 minute shows every other week.

 

[ajf009]

I hate Samantha Bee on the show.. She's just not funny

 

[Jintor]

I hate Samantha Bee on the show.. She's just not funny

She is the queen of hilariously awkward humour

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

If you think the Office is the height of humor, I can understand why you like the correspondents. They haven't been good since the two Stevens left. There was Colbert and... whatever happened to that other guy?

When'd I say that?

 

[bud]

i kinda hoped jon would joke around about the whole cheating thing.

he gave pattinson ice cream!

it would be way awkward, but still.

It seems every segment has either the correspondents or Jon cracking up, even when it isn't funny. It's like they know whatever they're doing isn't working, so they start laughing hoping it'll make the audience laugh with them.

 

[Enduin]

I have this dream that Colbert gets the Senate position in SC and has to end his show, and then CC can't find anyone to fill his time slot so they just turn TDS into an hour long show.

 

[a secret-boss]

gonna miss wyatt

Holy shit did you guys see the Downton Abbey Breaking Bad crossover on Colbert?

that was gold LOL

 

[nick nacc]

Wait so just wyat leave or more

 

[BigDug13]

That's a terrible dream. TDS doesn't need to be an hour nor does Jon want to attempt to come out with 1 hour of material each night. They would just attempt to replace the time slot with another failed show like what they had with the Colin Quinn show pre-Colbert. Besides. Colbert doesn't rely on "correspondents" to create his awesome show. (Still love TDS though.)

[BigDug13]

I miss that show.

Me too a bit, but Colbert is the superior show in that time slot. If they could still have Quinn at midnight, that'd be cool.

 

[Jintor]

Gonna miss you Wyatt :T

 

[WillyFive]

How likely really is it for Colbert to get a Senate seat? Because I can't tell with Colbert, especially considering what he has been able to do in the past.

His entire schtick is making fun of conservatives.

There is no way in hell he is picked.

 

[Clevinger]

Is Colbert running as his character or himself? I haven't been watching or paying attention to any of this lately.

It's funny and kinda sad, because Colbert would probably make a good senator like Al Franken is.

The SC governor gets to pick the replacement.

They did fall for it once.

Maybe we will get lucky?

 

[chalkitdown1]

I know I'm about 6 years late but I just watched Colbert's Correspondents dinner speech/roast. Fucking incredible. What a legend. How the fuck did he make it out of that building alive? The amount of people he very visibly royally pissed off was insane.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

He might be the only one who could save the Republican Party.

Definatly one of his greatest moments in his career.

 

[newjeruse]

Embarrassingly long layoff for the show. They're better than that.

 

[Aaron]

No they're not. They do this all the time.

 

[xxracerxx]

They're better than that.

hahaha, what?

 

[dLMN8R]

Embarrassingly long layoff for the show. They're better than that.

God forbid they take a few weeks off after putting out 200 shows during an insane election year.

 

[gabbo]

Are you new to the show? Those jokes about the Daily Show being 4 days a week, 196 days a year, aren't jokes.

 

[Shadow780]

Anne looks great with that short hair.

Thank you for Love and Other Drugs too.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Anne looks quite lovely, though I hope she grows her hair out a bit more.

 

[Rlan]

John was fucking on the republicans so fast. God I missed this.

 

[chalkitdown1]

The racism bit on Colbert last night was golden. I was fucking howling.

 

[Shard]

By god, that was magnificent.

 

[Judderman]

By god, that was magnificent.

Bu-bu-but imaginary Hitler!
