Anybody hear Maher's monologue rant at the end of his last show? He went after the SJW movement hard. Worth a listen.

It was fantastic.

I was disappointed he didn't go harder.

They'll probably end up cancelling TDS and giving Tosh a show every night. Politics is so pathetic right now that it's not even funny to make fun of anymore.

Frenzied Wombat · Mar 30, 2015

Yeah, my vote would have been for him to be more hardcore as well, but with the exception of the Islam issue this is about the only other incident I can think of where he specifically targets liberals. Hopefully as the SJW movement picks up speed, so will his vitriol.. I'm just glad SOMEONE out there on national TV that claims to be a liberal finally had the balls to stand up and call out the SJW movement for what it is. Shit's getting out of control.

Isn't he "retiring"?

Rumor is they may try to go a little more international with TDS vs. the standard Faux News bashing

I don't know if this is true but unlike John Stewart, I think just about anyone could do Tosh's job.

iannis · Mar 31, 2015

Shit is real, real, real fucking bizzaro world when I listen to Bill Maher. And it's even worse when I listen to him and say, "Well, at least someone is saying it to the people that need to hear it."

Simas_sl · Mar 31, 2015

I'm pretty excited for Trevor Noah. I've enjoyed his bits, and he comes off as a pretty smart dude.

Bi-racial comedian from South Africa whose parents grew up under apartheid that most have never even heard of, myself included.. I'm smelling PC here-- surely they could have gotten someone recognizable AND funny to fit the role..

Not everything is a conspiracy, sometimes you miss out on your first 4 or so choices (Jessica Williams stepped out of the running)

Were Louis CK, Amy Schumer, And Amy Poehler Up For ?

On his last show he addressed the rumors and said he's not (in typical Tosh fashion though he didn't straight up respond to it)

This video makes me want to see TDS become more conservative than what Stewart had.

I watched a few Jon Oliver vids, all the ones I watched seemed leftist to the point of being dishonest and fake rage. Is that still the same? I like bipartisan comedy better than partisan comedy because it's more honest when everyone gets a beating. Plus when the writers get together in the morning and say, "Ok how can we laugh at the other side for what they did last week?" it produces worse product than when they get together and say, "Ok, what happened last week that we can laugh at?".

That just sounds like bias because I don't think either show is like this at all.

iannis · Mar 31, 2015

Oliver is pretty far to the left, and some episodes are worse than others. While I don't always agree with him and he will tend to say shit that makes me fast forward through a whole segment, I do actually think he's doing a pretty good job of it. At least S1. I haven't stolen S2 yet. He's not on my "must see" list. He's on my "I'm bored" list. But he made that list, by damn!

Maybe you're right. I don't watch much Oliver but liked him on TDS. I don't want to give people homework, but please link a video of him where you think he's going after liberals like a bipartisan comedian would.

Mist · Mar 31, 2015

TDS has never been lenient on democrats when they've done things that are stupid or corrupt or otherwise mockable. One party just does more stupid shit/says more stupid things.

LWT doesn't even cover much in the way of US right/left politics.

Oh come on, at least by american political standards, both TDS and Jon Oliver were very much to the left.

Doesn't mean I don't think Jon Oliver is doing an amazing job when he is bashing the NCAA, covering net neutrality or the NSA or whatever else. However, lets not pretend he spends equal time thinking about bashing liberals. He is, at a minimum, selecting pieces that he knows will play well with his left leaning audience.

I mostly agree. He's pretty far left and the social topics interest me less than his economic ones. When the topic is about corruption and the like, the show is very good.

iannis · Mar 31, 2015

Not explicitly. But they do talk around the issue. And his slant is obvious, intentional, and perfectly fine. It's just pretty far fucking left, too.
