Bye Wyatt! Minus one great correspondent....
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.

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

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.

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

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!

He won't be doing a show on Monday, off for the holidays.
They're off until mid January I think. Sucks.

When'd I say that?
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.

gonna miss wyatt
that was gold LOL
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.)

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.
There is no way in hell he is picked.
The SC governor gets to pick the replacement.

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.

He might be the only one who could save the Republican Party.
Definatly one of his greatest moments in his career.
No they're not. They do this all the time.
hahaha, what?
God forbid they take a few weeks off after putting out 200 shows during an insane election year.
Are you new to the show? Those jokes about the Daily Show being 4 days a week, 196 days a year, aren't jokes.

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

The racism bit on Colbert last night was golden. I was fucking howling.
Bu-bu-but imaginary Hitler!
