I'm liking Larry Wilmore's Nightly Report so far. It's early days, and it isn't as radical a concept as Colbert was, but it's a good companion to TDS so far.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It seems a lot more like just an actual panel show than a parody of anything, though.

Well, that's what I meant by not so radical a concept. But I like. And I really like the "100" idea.

More real news than fake news?
I haven't seen it yet, been on a bit of a break from news in general, but I like Wilmore.

It's like Bill Maher's show, but with Larry Wilmore's perspective. The "100" bit is about getting questions and keeping 100% real.

Yeah, the same kind of assorted panel discussing an issue. I feel like the show actually got better between the second and third ones (I missed the first, haven't watched the fourth) so I have high hopes.

I think it is this for me. I find the show very enjoyable but not really a comedy show.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Apparently Giles is in it at some point
He showed up early last night as Galavant's dad. The finale was both good and bad. There were some great songs (especially the duet between Chef and the maid about poisoning all the nobles) and some actual progress in the story. OTOH, there wasn't enough ASH, and Rutger Hauer sucked all the air out of every scene he was in. The man does not do light comedy.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Which is weird because he was pretty good at it in the Buffy movie. Of course, that was more than 20 years ago...
I cracked up when the chef revealed that he'd used his knowledge of everyone's allergies to tailor the dishes to trigger them.
