But he has been right on the mark since the campaign, he's up to speed on the issues and asks all the right questions.

I think he is somewhat overlooked because he comes on so late.

More people watch Colbert - since he's on earlier and already had a reputation for being political. But Seth has had some important guests - most recently Adam Schiff and Eric Schneiderman - and he was informed and they were must-watch interviews...

Seth should really be moved up to Prime Time. He rarely misses. Sometimes, I turn Colbert off.

But I try to catch the monologues. In the days of Trump, they really are comedy gold. And in these scary times, we need humor more than ever. I know a lot of DUers don't stay up that late - or even have TV - so that's why I try to post at least the monologues. And if it's a guest like Al Franken or Adam Schiff, I post them, too.

want to hear from. I catch the monologue half the time or less. That's why I so appreciate your posting clippings from the political comedians. My SO can't stand them...British, so I skip it or he goes to bed. Thanks again.
