Oliver was predictable but not undeseved.
i love last week tonight, however really doesn’t feel like a fair comparison. oliver does 30 shows a year, one topic a week. colbert does what, 200 a year?, with the news of the day often changing minutes before taping. peabodys are nice, but it would also be nice for the late show to be recognized by its peers.

these multiple nominees in the same category from a single show are getting on my nerves. it seems as though once a show becomes a critical darling, everything else is shut out.

missed seeing the exchange between stephen and drummer, joe saylor, last night. happy to see its return tonight.
and what to say about rita moreno — she is one hot shit! wish i looked as good (and moved as well) as her — and i’m 20 years younger.

sometimes i fall asleep during the monologue (sorry, stephen), so i may have missed it. but, has there been any explanation for no jon batiste this week.

agreed re the scheduling issues, and had there been a third season, i certainly would have watched.
but, truth be told, i found the second season wanting. without mitch at its emotional center, the storytelling meandered. austin winsberg created the show around his father’s illness and death, and likely not as a multi-season serial. so when the show got picked up, there was a ‘making this up as we go along’ quality, rather than a clearly-defined arc.

As a Bostonian, it drove me crazy to hear Deja and Malik say that Harvard is in Boston. It's in Cambridge, damn it!
yes it is! it’s a running joke that when asked where they went to college, rather than say ‘harvard,’ some alums say, ‘in cambridge.’

I absolutely loathed the British guy on Modern Family. Having him be on the next season is going to grate.
barely remember from MF, but he was unforgettable in ‘you’re the worst.’

And Claire...I can understand her wanting to forgive her dad for her own peace of mind, but she was also right to be angry at him, and I wouldn't have blamed her had she stuck to that feeling
i know her father could have been bullshitting her about sending money. but we knew her mother was, to say the least, irresponsible, yet claire wouldn’t even consider the possibility that her mother could have squandered the money her father sent...

would be nice to see this lead to the fcc (i think that’s the correct agency) to revisit this issue, though i’m not not holding my breath that the media will pick up how easy it was for the local stations to be duped.

Is Evie drunk? She laughs at anything and everything, worse than a laugh track.
I know what you mean. I've been assuming she pops an edible for the show.
starting to think i was the only one. thanks for saying what i’ve been thinking.
for those who would be happy for the show to remain in that cramped broom closet: i CANNOT wait for them to get back in the theater — with an audience — and that gorgeous ceiling!

The writers were really quite tone-deaf with the nude model situation. They clearly meant it as a "you go girl!" situation, but...no.
Can you even imagine how it would have come across if a woman had to stand there naked while some guy she dated crowed about getting his revenge on her, because she didn't return his texts? But I guess it's okay if a man is the one in that situation? Gross.
yup — the double standard can cut both ways.
the scene that’s always stuck with me is in ‘the way we were.’ when redford’s character passes out drunk in streisand’s bed, she climbs in with him and they have sex. the guy’s so drunk he probably could have been screwing a goat, not to mention he’s just puked his brains out (yuk!). if the genders had be reversed, people, rightly, would have called it rape. yet some women say they find it romantic. go figure.

he was just talking about needing clearance from the mayor (and possibly governor) before going back into the theater. since fallon and myers are already back in their studios (with only crews and band) i assume the show is waiting until they can bring the audience back.

The scene with Mitch was just wonderful, I'm glad they worked the song and dance into it as well. It definitely brought the feels and the tears. Maybe not quite as much punch as last season's finale, but it was really special. I'm glad they found some ways to bring him back for a couple of episodes.
while i understand why mitch’s death was necessary, his presence centered the storytelling, and i think this season felt a bit unmoored because of his absence. so, i too, was delighted that they were able to work him into even just a couple of episodes.

Great episodes ... it tied everything up. It felt a lot like a series finale.
it did feel like a series finale. but, i was so hoping that the golden gate park scene would have been revealed to be a dream — zoey needs to be on her own for a while — and, i really hate ‘happy endings!’

no need to pile on about the ridiculous writing. but, what the hell is going on with the lighting — or more specifically, the lack thereof? every scene is so dark, it’s sometimes to recognize the setting of characters.
did some forget to pay the electric bill?

curious to know if i’m the only one who feels this way.
first i want to say that i love ‘the late show’ — would not have gotten through the t**** years without it — and loved ‘the colbert report.’
however...
i’ve grown to hate that claustrophobic broom closet of a set where there’s not enough room for the camera to move back or forth. i think it’s been affecting the energy of the show, and not in a good way, at least for me. of course, i’ve been living and working in a studio apartment for the past year plus, so it might just be me. but it all feels so constricted and compressed — even the brief exchange between stephen and jon baptiste has taken on a pro forma quality.
i’ve never been clear why the producers decided on such a small space when the show returned to ny in early august, after broadcasting from south carolina since late march. was is less expensive; did they think the small space would feel more intimate than an empty theater? maybe initially, but after all these months, it suffers by comparison with with kimmel, meyers, and cordon (not a fallon fan:)
interested to hear what others think.

Not that it's going to happen--let's be real here--but if anyone other than Chadwick Boseman wins Best Actor, this is going to blow up spectacularly in their faces. (But let's be real--it's obvious they want the tribute to Boseman to end the show.)
with the possible exception of anthony hopkins.

the good: finally got to the ‘in memoriam.’
the bad: who the hell picked the music?
i’m usually in tears, but that upbeat dance tempo took me right out of it.

It's almost 10:45 p.m. and we're now doing music trivia? Are they wanting this to go all the way till midnight?!
this! what a fucking shit show this has been. and, still, no time ‘in memoriam.’ unless they really do want to go to midnight.

I know my attention has been drifting during this but I could swear they already gave a Hersholt Humanitarian award earlier tonight.
was wondering the same thing. and yet enough time for ‘in memoriam.’ but jon batiste just won, so i’m good.
