He's pretty funny, but it's pretty much the daily show.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Awesome

Was that some kind of web-only bonus material? I don't remember that segment in the second episode.

Yes.

The show will probably work out its own identity in time.

Doubt it. The show creator use to work for TDS before leaving with John Oliver to create this.

I'm a big fan so far. The thing I like so far, and I realize they are only 2 shows in, is that he seems to be taking shots at everyone.

I'm fairly sure he's a Democrat. And that's cool. But it's nice to see him poking fun at both sides. I used to love the Daily Show when it first started because it seemed to take shots at everyone. Now, it's pretty much unwatchable. It's like Fox News, just wrapped in humor for Liberals.

I'm excited to see how this show pans out. He's a very funny dude.

Could have done without the old guy's junk zoom.

Still a funny episode, but I have to say I was kind of disappointed in his take on the Michael Sam story. He bashed (mildly) ESPN for not talking about him being gay and instead just going over his stats.

Now, I'm the first person who usually criticizes ESPN, but I liked their approach on this. I think it's great that a gay guy has been drafted by the NFL. But I think the better day will be when we don't care about a person's sexual orientation. ESPN did their job, and I don't think they were trying to hide the fact that he was gay. I think they were trying to move past it. And I don't really see a problem with that.

Again, hopefully we can do with less old guy weenus in the future shows, though.

Love this show. Its basically the Daily Show with more swear words but that is never a bad thing.

John Oliver reads an unexpected and hilarious response from POM Wonderful after skewering them on his show

that's f'ing hysterical.

Is that bad? Did I upset you because of that? If so, I apologize. I had no idea that was an offensive term.

I feel like you might be bi polar.

I don't post much any more....it's hard to get a gauge for my personality. Let's do lunch soon.
