Riggo-toni Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Anyone catch Larry Wilmore's bit on this? He had already predicted Frau Gretchen would be fired from Fox after her coming out for an assault weapons ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornaSkinsFan83 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Is Wilmore's show any good? Heard bad things early on but that was a year-plus ago and then nothing since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 It's okay. He's good, but the format is essentially Maher redux. I deeply miss the Stewart/Colbert hour. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) I deeply miss the Stewart/Colbert hour. Oh gosh, yes. I was going to post that after some of the Daily Show clips linked above brought back huge nostalgia pangs. With all the **** going on in the country now, that hour would have been must see TV. I miss Stewart calling out Fox on all the bull****. And I would have loved to see how the conservative Colbert character covered Trump day-to-day. I tried to transition to Trevor Noah and Larry Wilmore, but it just wasn't working for me. I rarely watch now. I do watch Colbert on his CBS show fairly often, and his opening segments are usually pretty smart and funny. But it's tough living up to The Colbert Report.

skinny21 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Highly, highly recommend John Oliver's Last Week Tonight. It's on HBO, but you can YouTube it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Really? Some of his segments are indeed exceptional, but his schtick is all the same. I get so tired of his facetious outrage pounding his fists on the table, or his constant "that's like saying ..."(insert ridiculous statement) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passepartout Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 You have to overcome the bad language he does. But he seems to be pretty smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 The best usage of Oliver ever was The Bugle Podcast. Five or ten minute rants where you didn't actually have to look at him, interspersed with another comedian doing pun humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FanboyOf91 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/07/sources-kelly-said-ailes-sexually-harassed-her.html According to two sources briefed on parent company 21st Century Fox’s outside probe of the Fox News executive, led by New York–based law firm Paul, Weiss, Kelly has told investigators that Ailes made unwanted sexual advances toward her about ten years ago when she was a young correspondent at Fox. Kelly, according to the sources, has described her harassment by Ailes in detail. Kelly’s comments to investigators might explain why the Murdochs are moving so quickly to oust Ailes. As New York reported yesterday, Rupert and sons James and Lachlan, the three top executives at 21st Century Fox, have, according to multiple sources, decided that Ailes needs to be removed. Kelly, who has become something of a feminist icon thanks to her tangles with GOP nominee Donald Trump, is seen by many inside Fox as the future of the network. She’s currently in contract negotiations, and given that Bill O’Reilly has said he’s considering retirement, Fox can’t afford to lose her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Of course Ann the journalist knew all about this, but never felt the need to look into it before because conservative extremists never attack their own, it might hurt the never ending and sole purpose of accusing liberals of stuff. How forthright of her to mention it now that it is public knowledge. Next she is going to reveal that Richard Nixon bugged the Oval Office.
