Last Week, Tonight...... Right Now!
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

Jeebus! Are those public prosecutor figures correct? 1500 cases a year? 90%+ on a plea bargain?

Makes me wonder how fucked up U.S. justice is. It's practically a crime against humanity.

Re: Last Week, Tonight...... Right Now!
I only caught that episode of John Oliver in passing and it was a real eye-opener.

Last Week Tonight might be one of the best shows on TV, and it will only get better as the election season rolls on

All comedy, everywhere will be improved beyond measure when you guys elect Donald Trump as President. Right up until the part where we all die in a nuclear inferno.

What? Nothing about the episode on the migrant crisis?

Holy shit! That Fox News footage was unbelievably twisted. The True Lies stuff was hilarious. The disabled girl who wanted to be an astronaut (and meet the Queen) was heartbreaking. The Hungarian video was freakin' hilarious!
I think it shows that the fear of this crisis, improperly managed, empowering the far right all over again is a real worry.

With Jon Stewart gone, John Oliver is where it's at.

Definitely. I watched the first week of Trevor's TDS, and it's not bad. I caught Weekend Update on SNL, and it was just awful. I really need to get into The Nightly Show. The first month or so was boring, but I've seen some clips and it looks like Larry Wilmore is bringing it now.

I definitely like Wilmore better than Trevor Noah, but I'm still giving him a chance. But John Oliver is just doing great work.

Re: Last Week, Tonight...... Right Now!
What bothers me most about Trevor Noah is that he smiles too much after delivering his punchlines. I mean, okay, it's the type of show where you don't absolutely need deadpan delivery, but he grins after pretty much every joke.

More so than Barack Obama's, Russel Tovey's, Daniel Craig's, Will Smith's, and Channing Tatum's?

I think it's because his hair is so short, the contrast is startling.

I will agree Trevor's laughing every time he delivers a line is a little annoying. Let the joke breathe for a bit dude, don't oversell it.

John Oliver's got a point here. Aren't you guys total fucked off with this whole election thing already? Can't you make it start 6 months out?
