OT: Hurricanes Lounge XXI: Cinco de Mayo edition

[Oogie Boogie]

When I actually did watch a decent amount of college football (which was middle school and part of high school) Auburn was my favorite team. Still is in some ways but, I don't really think my vote counts for anything seeing as how I don't really watch it much anymore.

I was sad when Colbert left. But now Stewart's gone, and I'm at a loss. If I really think about it, over the last two decades, there's really no one on TV who has taught me more or had more of an influence on me than Stewart has.

Granted, that influence has left me pretty jaded toward the whole political scene altogether, but I get the feeling that's the norm in America at the moment.

If you're not watching Last Week Tonight, you're missing out.

If you're not watching Last Week Tonight, you're missing out.

Agreed. I actually like its format better because rather than hitting the highlights and giving no more than two minutes to a given topic, he focuses on one that's utter BS and tries to blow the lid off of it. Yet he's equal parts serious and hilarious all throughout.

Yup, same here. And it's not always politics, so the variety is nice. I don't think I've seen one episode I didn't like.

I am, but it's once a week and it's often not as current as TDS. The benefit of the daily format is that Stewart and his writers were able to say "OK, here's what happened yesterday, here's the messed up part about it, and here's what ridiculousness Fox/CNN/MSNBC are trying to say about it."

Then they often follow that segment up with another minor piece you may not have heard about that's also ridiculous (where they use their correspondents field assignments well) and then an interview.

Last Week takes one broad topic and dismantles if, which works, but for many of the topics, there's no follow-up. He does his bit and moves onto the next topic the following week.
