Review in his London set this weekend: https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2018/may/20/trevor-noah-review-o2-arena-london-royal-wedding I rewatched his “You Laugh But It’s True” and it was remarkable to see how many comics from SA referred to him as arrogant because he dared to reach so high, so early in his career.

A) Sean Penn is just any other asshole violating legal workplace protections for crew, staff and members of the audience. He took probably one drag off it but forced everyone around him to suffer his narcissistic macho control issues for appearances. That’s also not what the tail end of Ambien looks like, but nice try. B) I am super impressed they did the deep cut puppy nursing joke with Dana Carvey. That must have been a hard sell to CBS.

In the episode with the father of six, was anyone else dying a slow death inside watching the eldest daughter spend the whole segment in Target grappling with both her enthusiasm for the handsome gays and her white underwire bra? My second hand embarrassment was so bad I was flop-sweating. I wouldn’t go back to my teenaged years for anything.

I am never not there for Colbert/Banana prop comedy shout outs. PS: When your “Charlie Rose is wonderful banter” comes across as incredibly callous because of pre-taping.

Only $1300 CAD at Nordstrom. Start saving your nickels! The D&G collection also makes it in a girl’s dress if you need.

Sam is not wearing a blazer tonight. I am shook.

Ending that impression with “and now this...” was perfection. The predictive text gag made me laugh so hard I cried a little and then I kept crying a little because it was so accurate. Also, a Tom Hanks cameo is a pretty glorious end game for buying 5 wax presidents with your unlimited dragon money.

I can’t be the only one who said “What, Rowsdower’s in this season?”

I loved Mindy’s sarcastic delivery of “Oh no, it’s my only copy. Don’t...”

Colbert in his Sunday School teacher cardigan completely unable to keep a straight face during that sketch with Nick Kroll sent me to bed with a smile on my face. "My penis has never been whiter. You gotta see it smile!" Stephen looks devasted by his own laughter. Ah-mazing. As always, love his rapport with Chance the Rapper.

I loved/was terrified by moment of zen tonight -just Hannity and his cigarette, casually considering the banality of evil between takes.

John Oliver derisively buffing his Emmy to the sound of wet flatulence is the perfect summary of why this show works so, so well.

Side burn Keirnan Shipka:

Setting previous subject Equifax's logo on fire with your sweet, sweet dragon money during the opening credits is pretty baller. ETA: Former TDS correspondent Oliver referencing Carell's The Office credits in Scranton was everything I never knew I needed in my life.

I was re-watching this episode to get back in the game for tonight and just realized the lady newscaster who admitted she was going to look into the sun during the eclipse was from Calgary. Ermahgerd.

I know it's terrible but I laughed for ages at Liev's impression of DT's silent fart and will never be able to unsee it. The "ok" hand gesture and hair wipe was what made it art.

John's segment on Trump and Nazis actually broke my heart. Because I have family members whose lives were ended or ruined by their ideology and I don't even know where to start with that "presidential" non-answer. I half-hoped John would give me a dark thing to laugh about, but...the stark reality is not funny at all. So good on him for not trying to make light. It's what we needed to hear.

I knew when Les Twins beat Keone and Mari while injured that they were going to be the winners, but I still pulled my Bluetooth headphone out of my ear and threw it across the room after their super sloppy 2nd performance. The judge's choice for Eva's first song seemed designed to hamstring her score. A lot of the eliminations seemed fated, but I was not expecting to be quite so let down. Why would I invest in a second season when the winner is so obviously pre-determined? ETA I thought it was a pretty low blow that after Eva danced flawlessly to a Sia song, they then played another Sia song over Les Twins win celebration. No need to rub it in, show. Damn. Cold blooded.

Sorry to quote you again, but I felt everyone should know there is one with Key & Peele. Heart eyes.

I appreciated that they kept it vegan according to that bet. I was wondering why the milk looked so strange until Sean mentioned the wings Stephen rushing through "Hell is the absence of God's love" was very heartfelt in that moment.

I think Trombone Shorty got me pregnant...

You are not alone. Also, I spent all week trying to purge the song Kalinka from my brain after Colbert's Russia week and now I have to start over again. I used to do a stage show with a tumbling act every seven days set to it and now it makes me a bit twitchy. Thanks, Trevor.

Spectacular.

I would say Alex Jones should know better than to come for someone with that sweet, sweet dragon money, but lunacy has no logic. And apparently a filthy perineum that could use more chocolate chicken bones in its life.

More likely Internet hive mind - it's been around on twitter for an eon (in Internet time at least.) I feel like I have an okay handle on which is his own stuff based on his standup, especially after seeing him live a couple times. Puns aren't really his game. Sometimes you can really hear the other writers' voices come through and sometimes it feels like it came from him. They do a pretty good job of blending the two, though.
