The Last Week Tonight/John Oliver and Seth Meyers Thread

With Jon Stewart retired and rescuing horses and Steven Colbert losing ever more relevance, I thought it might be appropriate to have a thread for their ideological heirs: Jon Oliver and Seth Meyers. Oh, there is Samantha Bee, but while I have enjoyed her take in her current show, she still annoys me from her Daily Show days and I have a hard time watching her. Trevor Noah is out of his depth and appears a perfect exemplar of the Peter Principle.

So, here's to Jon Oliver and Seth Meyers: two guys who are oh-so-obviously pundits and who both want to be considered "just comedians".

My sig is a Seth Meyers quote and if I had to choose a single sentence to explain Drumpf, Meyers nailed him. Here's to a long glorious run for Jon and Seth.

 

"In some areas, it is easier to get a gun than a divorce. If you ever hear your spouse mumble that in their sleep, get outta there!"

 

"Luxembourg: What happens when Lichtenstein is left out in the sun too long."

 

Oliver on point with regards to the state of journalism today:



The parody of Spotlight, called Stoplight, is pretty funny. Also sad. Very sad.
