When the camera landed on Michelle, you could see that she was disgusted. It looked like she couldn't believe how low he was aiming. Shaking her head and frowning.

Wilmore fell over that delicate line between "edgy" and "over the edge" several times.

Compare his slege-hammer bludgeoning style to Colbert's rapier-like, surgical finesse back in 2006. The contrast is stark.
