I hurt myself laughing from it.
Here is one segment from last week, on Jeb.....a great description of Trump is early in the piece.

She is gonna make it a bearable primary season.....

Still, I love her and hope the show is a big success.

(21,691 posts)She's much better on her own show than she got to be on TDS I think. And she was pretty good, but her show is sooooo good.

This is how she dealt with Republican obstructionism over Scalia's death:

(500 posts)She has hit the ground running and isn't afraid to push the limit in what she says. If I could have her and John Oliver all week, I'd be set.

(6,279 posts)But I think part of it's greatness is that it's just once a week. No filler, no weak supporting people, just one on-target blast after another. That's hard to do on a daily basis...
If it were on all week, though, I'd be watching

(10,177 posts)I just started watching the the show just flew by, and every bit of it was funny! I will add this to John Oliver's show on my list of must see shows.

(47,574 posts)Is she another one who turned down The Daily Show?
Or do they just not know what the fuck they're doing over there at Comedy Central?

(1,134 posts)That clip made me laugh like TDS used to years ago. I'll have to keep an eye out for more of her show.
Larry Wilmore and John Oliver have two good shows too.

(2,474 posts)Her earlier stuff was good but she ended up a bit.... preachy towards the end.

(60,010 posts)Got it.

(2,474 posts)... and once she has lost my interest I see no reason to keep checking back to see if she got funny again.

(6,279 posts)She is much better on her own show than she ever was on TDS. Give it a try! If you don't it'll be your loss I think...
