'keep it 100' segment is awesome
went to a live taping of the last episode, not my favorite but when you have a guy who's killed 40 people on a comedy show it tends to sink it a bit
tbh i think the panel stuff is better than the opening monologue (so far)—feel like wilmore is still getting his own rhythm together. I don't think much was actually edited out of the panel discussion, at least from the ep i saw in person

This show rules. More consistent than either the Daily Show or Colbert Report.
― ©Oz Quiz© (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 11 March 2015 16:53 (nine years ago) link
I've noticed they've started to mix up the routine. Sometimes the panel gets two segments, sometimes only one, and they aren't doing Keep it 100 every night. Unfortunately the man-on-the-street and the in-studio comedy bits aren't always great.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 11 March 2015 17:01 (nine years ago) link
Also, bringing in Jim Norton on an episode specifically about female empowerment seems like trolling.
Yeah and Larry can put his foot in his mouth sometimes trying to be funny. Still, it's better than Colbert's mock advertising or Stewart picking through Fox News's garbage.

When Daymond John was one of the guests the other night I swear he didn't say one thing the whole episode! As in, even if he did it was edited out. They did cut to him laughing a few times though.

having a panellist disappear in the middle of a show, seems odd.
the show still doesn't seem to know what it is, i don't think. keeps tweaking the format, seemingly at random.

I didn't enjoy last night's show at all, with Keith Robinson making weird sex change comments and Larry going all in on execution and Alex Wagner disappearing before the final segment, it was just an ugly episode.

The panels are 3 guests now instead of 4, and they tweaked the set a little bit with a new roundtable. Content is still hit or miss depending on the topic/guest combo.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 16:50 (nine years ago) link
The show just seems like it's trying too hard to capitalize on the think piece trend. Like they needed an angle with this show and they see how both think pieces are popular and how shows like John Oliver can resonate on the web afterwards, so they keep attempting to provoke that effect.
― Evan, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 17:00 (nine years ago) link
At least with Maher's show the conversations actually come about pretty naturally, yet LW segments like "weak tea" feel forced due to timing constraints and desperation to inspire think pieces imo.
― Evan, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 17:09 (nine years ago) link
It's been quite a while since they've done a straightforward "Keep it 100" segment.

watching some of these made me realize that i kinda got all the larry i needed on the daily show. like, it was the perfect amount of larry. kinda like when you meet someone who you think is funny/interesting and it turns out they aren't as funny/interesting when you spend a lot of time with them.

I think the Daily Show Wilmore counts as more of a character ala the "Stephen Colbert" character that spun off into the Colbert Report (which built on the ridiculousness of his Daily Show appearances). Wilmore's show is boring and too nice because Wilmore seems like a genuinely nice, kinda boring guy and he doesn't have the force of personality of a Maher, Stewart, or Oliver. He moderates when inciting people would make a better show.
Also kinda seems like the Nightly Show is, in general, too afraid to be too similar to any of the other news-comedy shows and wind up being a bland version of all of them.

As reported by Variety, Comedy Central has picked up Larry Wilmore’s Nightly Show for another season, giving it a spot on the network’s schedule through the end of next year. If Wilmore’s show is doing well enough to get another season, then this is probably a good sign for Comedy Central’s post-Stewart and Colbert era, especially since Trevor Noah’s Daily Show doesn’t premiere until later this month. That means Wilmore has been going—and going strong—without what will soon be his more high-profile lead-in ...

Yeah. I don't blame Stewart for wanting out of a stressful job, that's totally understandable, but it would have been so perfect for him to stay through this campaign and go out on top. I guess the idea was that it would be a perfect time for his replacement because of the never ending gift of trump.

watching this finale, i liked this cast way more than the new Daily Show cast. Franchesca Ramsey, Holly Walker, Robin Thede, and Jordan Carlos all way better than the DS crew, which feels stuck in this mock-cynical rut.
man the Daily Show didn't really care about these guys at all, i think the cancellation got a single tossed-off mention "I guess they were kind of colleagues of ours". a far cry from the days where Stewart and Colbert would promote each other on the reg.

Nu-Daily is largely garbage, so that's not surprising. Much of Nightly was too nuanced for fb links, though. They mainly covered ongoing issues/behaviors. Sometimes they were really on point about a particular current event, but mostly it was a continuous discussion.

― scott seward, Tuesday, 23 August 2016 03:30 (seven years ago) link
They still had a panel every night, but they largely phased out the Keep It 100 gimmick and cut it down to one guest + 2 cast instead of 3 guests + 1 cast which was much easier to control. And the chemistry the cast ended up having was on par with Colbert/Carell era TDS.
