Saw Seth Myers do standup tonight and he does a bit about his experience of doing the show. Mocked the whole "how do you feel about it?", especially finding out a relative did a school play, and said he wasn't an interesting guest. He talked about turning the page and finding out his relative committed suicide and Dr Gates said "sorry, we'll edit that out. Turn the next page". Was really interesting seeing his experience turned into comedy.

Finally got around to watching and I had said everything John said about Uber just this afternoon! Really glad he talked about the whole fetal personhood bullshit and the Comstock Act. I've known about this for a long time as I read Jessica Valenti's Abortion Every Day (highly recommend) but most people have no idea. I run a Blue Jays fansite and had heard nothing about these pants. Granted, I don't read everything. Wonder why they made the switch? The main story is horrifying. Wish I had anything more constructive to say, but nope. ETA: Update on the pants from CNN:

And of course I see "Video unavailable. The uploader has not made this video available in your country." Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.. -
Last Week Tonight & John Oliver in the Media

It's always been a 3 week wait in Canada so I don't have a lot of sympathy. Lucky for me I got a deal for a year subscription to Crave so I can now happily watch the entire episode the next day. -
I loved that episode so much. It almost took the bad taste of Heroes out of my mouth. Devane is brilliant as usual and it was great to get another glimpse of the political side of things. I always enjoyed those episodes.

Nothing official but the story is that the reason The Problem was cancelled was because Jon wanted to do stories on China and AI, Apple told him not to, and he refused. Now does his first joke make sense?

Thanks for answering my question about Dulce. I hope she gets her time.
-
Yes, and POC were in the room too.

Also found this interview from 10 months ago, before things went south with Apple. He's very reflective here.

For those who didn't see The Problem with Jon Stewart, I really encourage you to check out the YouTube channel to watch the clips and/or listen to the podcast. He made a point on that show to have a diverse room and to promote his writers to share their perspectives so it seems he took the diversity criticism to heart. This makes me very excite to see what happens now.

Since the previous thread was closed and the one person who responded repeated what I already knew, I'll ask again. When the show came back after the writers strike, did Dulce every get to finish out her week that was cut short by the strike? I hope that short time gets taken into account here and they make sure her and the other correspondents who didn't get their week get more time.

The Future of The Daily Show after Trevor
marina to replied to One Imaginary Girl's topic in The Daily Show
I stopped being able to find the show in Canada in the fall so I lost track of the hosts but did Dulce ever get a chance to finish her week? I was really impressed with her.
